UHF

Easter egg: Go to the side of the DVD that doesn't have Special Features on it. There should be a button for it anyhow. If you click it, Weird Al will come out and say, "Hey, the special features are on the other side of the DVD." Do it again. And one more time. The last time he screams at you.

Easter egg: Put the UHF DVD in your DVD player, when the Main Menu pops up, Go to scene selections, and then highlight chapters 13-16 and then go down, and the thing on the bottom between the knobs will be highlighted. Go there, and you will see a scene from the telethon with Fran.

Mistakes

Factual error: George comes up with the idea to raise money via a public share issue in Channel 62 around mid-morning, and promptly announces the telethon on the air and by midnight of the same day they have the money they need. One problem. Even if George had access to a compliant attorney and Channel 62 was already a company authorised to issue shares, a public issue would take at least ten days to organise. There are all sorts of notice periods and filing dates to which the share issuer must adhere. I know - I've done it.

Trivia: The film is in memory of Trinidad Silva, who played Raúl. Unfortunately, Silva was killed by a drunk driver during production of the film. Parts of the film had to be rewritten since he had not finished filming all his scenes.

Questions

Chosen answer: It's making fun of "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" which is an often referenced 'quote' from "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (Actually, the real line is "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!", but that's the way people say it.)

Myridon

Mel Brooks borrowed the line in "Blazing Saddles." In that film, the line actually was "We don't need no stinkin' badges."
