Raising Arizona connection
I noticed this while watching Hudsucker although it is referenced in the Raising Arizona triva section. H.I.'s work uniform bears the name "Hudsucker Industries" on it.

shareThe Coen Brothers often put references to their other works into their movies. Another example in Raising Arizona was the scene in the restroom when the escaped convicts were putting hair jelly into their hair. The hair jelly was an important thing to the George Clooney character in O Brother Where Art Thou?

* The judge in the Rexroth divorce case, a minor character in Intolerable Cruelty, was named Marva Munson. This was the name of the owner of the rooming house in The Ladykillers.
* In The Ladykillers MacSam tells Gudge "Mr. Gudge, she had a ass that could pull a bus." In Burn After Reading, Linda Litzke tells her doctor "My mother had an ass that could pull a bus."
The "Hudsucker Industries" one is fun though, because it's a "forward" reference. They hung onto the "Hudsucker" name for almost ten years before recycling it into a movie title.
Actually, I think they had already written the script (or at least laid the storyline out) for the Hudsucker Proxy by the time they made Raising Arizona.
shareTrue. According to Wikipedia anyway they finished the script for HP in 85 but production didn't start until 91.

There's also a law firm called "Tuckman/ Marsh" in both A Serious Man & Burn After Reading.
