Brooks used the same sound studio that they used in the Wizard of Oz for the scene where Barf, Lonestar, Vespa, and Dot are walking to see Yogurt.

On the DVD case, Barf's eye patch is different from where it is the rest of the movie.
The 'out of order' ticket on the 'cancel self destruct' button is signed by Albiez. Peter Albiez was the Special Effect Supervisor of the movie.
The Millenium Falcon (from Star Wars, one of the movies spoofed) can be seen parked outside the space cafe Lone Starr and Barf stop at.
