Also a possible reference to the film, as well as the Lord of the Rings trilogy being filmed in New Zealand. Soldier possibly getting confused between Sniper's origins as Australia and New Zealand are close together geographically and share almost the exact same accent and slang.

Meet the Soldier

"If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must fight! Sun Tzu said that."

Sun Tzu really did say that: the full quote reads "If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding." Sun Tzu is the honorific title bestowed upon Sūn Wǔ, the author of The Art of War, an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy.

"Then, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one!"

Noah's Ark, according to the text of the Book of Genesis, was a large vessel built at God's command to save Noah, his family, and a stock of all the world's animals from a mighty flood. This, of course, has nothing to do with Sun Tzu; other than that by confabulating the Noah story with Sun Tzu (rhymes with zoo), Soldier sets up the pun "... any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a 'zoo'!" Zoos and beating up animals also happen to be the basis of the fallout between Saxton Hale and his mentor-cum-nemesis, Charles Darling.

The music that plays during Meet the Soldier and sometimes on the main menu is titled The Art of War. This is another reference to Sun Tzu's book, The Art of War.

"You cannot hurt me, I do not have time to bleed! *Cracking noise* My schedule has just opened up! Aaaohhww, my God!"

"You do not frighten me! Pain does not hurt! *Cracking noise* I stand corrected! Arrrrggghhgh!"
