From the news channel in Die Hard:
Gail Wallens: Dr. Hasseldorf, what can we expect in the next few hours?
Dr. Hasseldorf: Well, Gail, by this time the hostages should be going through the early stages of the Helsinki Syndrome.
Harvey Johnson: As in Helsinki, Sweden.
Dr. Hasseldorf: Finland.
From Top Gear:
Richard Hammond: I finally understand what they mean by that, is it Helsinki syndrome, when people are being kidnapped, when they're released, miss their kidnappers.

Get the Helsinki Syndrome mug.The Major is a psychopathic Nazi Cyborg from the Anime Hellsing, despite being a 'Nazi', he shows no symbols of being one aside from the obvious Swastika, and the intentional burning of a Swastika into London (Hellsing) using refitted V1 and V2 rockets. His personality is that of Hell personified, he loves war, he does not care if he wins or loses, he wishes to stir up as much chaos and destruction as he can before his army is stopped.
The Major commands an army of 1000 Nazi Vampires and leads the group known as 'Millennium', a reference to the thousand year Reich. He also owns three gigantic badass zeppelins.
Having someone compare you to this character is NOT a good thing.

Guy one : "Bro, you are so much like The Major (Hellsing)."
Guy two : "Yeah, I know, I love destruction and chaos."
Girl one : "Get some help." *To guy one*

Get the Van Helsing mug.The Helsinki Incident was recently cited in the 2004 film "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. During the final match sportcaster Cotton McKnight (Gary Cole) announces "Let me tell you, a double-fault final-play elimination hasn't occurred since the Helsinki episode of 1919, and I think we all remember how THAT turned out!" The 'incident' refers to a Finnish milk maiden named Oona Maarit Lohtander held captive as a rebel after the Finnish Civil War in 1918. While a prisoner on the fortress island of Suomenlinna in Helsinki she learned that her fiance Jarno Enestam was summarily executed by one of the guards of the camp. Vowing to avenge her lover's death, she arranged for her brother, also captive, to strangle the guard that night after she lured him into her bunkhouse for sex. It was absolutely pitch black in the compound and the bunkhouse, and after entering he approached the bunk where he thought his sister was 'engaging' the prison guard. He efficiently dispatched who he thought was the guard and retreated back to his bunkhouse. It turned out that he visited the wrong bunkhouse and strangled a young pregnant woman who was trying to quietly give birth, thus the reference to "a double-fault final-play elimination". Both Oona and her brother were subsequently executed for their role in the murder.
