James Bond 007 Number Plate
About one second into the short seven-second first teaser for THE FINALS, a Vespa-style motorbike is seen from behind with Monaco plates that read "0074". Seemingly, a reference to a James Bond-style chase scene.

The 'Yeeted' Inflatable Flamingo
In the opening action-shots of the teaser (five seconds in), a barely-discernable inflatable flamingo is seen being thrown through the air amongst building debris that has been hit by a wrecking ball. The inflatable flamingo is a likely reference to flamingos shown in the ARC Raiders reveal trailer, as ARC Raiders was originally was planned to release first.

Hidden Images
Two images are hidden in the trailer, each can be revealed by stitching together two of the four hidden frames dispersed throughout. They are presented with inverted colors and can be corrected for proper viewing.
The image featuring jellyfish could be interpreted as a reference to the James Bond movie Skyfall, since it features a similar-looking scene.
