Cultural References
- At the beginning of Burns' first appearance in this episode, the Imperial March from Star Wars is played.
- Matt Groening was reportedly against the idea of a crossover, and demanded his name be removed from the episode.
- The desert sequence in Mr. Burns' film is a parody of Ben Hur, though the line "you truly are King of Kings" may be a recasting of a similar line delivered by John Wayne in the movie King of Kings, where in a cameo as a centurion, he says "Truly, this man was the Son of God."
- Barney's film was (unfortunately) entitled "Pukeahontis"
- When Jay first comes into the Simpson's house, Bart is watching a Flintstones-Jetsons crossover cartoon special (A parody of The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones). He criticizes the crossover special despite the episode being a crossover special itself.
