Trivia and Goofs

• Dan Castellaneta provided the voice of James Bont, the parody of James Bond who Homer stops from escaping.
• The song played over the credits is similar to the Goldfinger theme.
• Homer is disappointed with the Denver Broncos, even though he wished to be John Elway in "Cape Feare".
• The Denver Broncos were not a good team at the time (hence Homer's disappointment in owning them), but would ironically win two consecutive Super Bowl championships after the airing of this episode.
