Donnie holds an NFL football with the logo altered. edit »
The two boys that Nelson first challenges in the hall after he learns his new "martial arts" skills are both standing on a stairstep to make them look as tall as he is. They're all still shorter than Ren, who is in the shot with them. edit »
According to the dialog, Louis and Ren are still in the seventh and eighth grades, respectively. edit »
The opening shots of Louis on his bike use a rather obviously faked background. edit »
A small American flag that decorates the Eco-Bot disappears in the shot where it hits a model volcano while it's running out of control, then it reappears in a later shot. edit »

This is Jody Howard's (Cynthia Mills) last appearance in the series although she did appear in the movie. edit »

Eileen Stevens: (suspiciously) Into what? edit »

Ren: Oh! What does it do?
Louis: Well, I don't know yet, but it has the coolest name. edit »

Louis: I'm not shorty pants kid!! edit »

When the Eco-Bot 2000 is on a rampage, Louis crawls on the floor amidst fleeing peoples' legs, searching for the remote control just like Indiana Jones and Willie were doing at the begining of , searching for a poison antidote and large diamond respectively. Like Indy, Louis's object is kicked around just as he's about to pick it up. edit »
Eileen Stevens: Well, that all depends on what your definition of 'amuck' is!

Sen. Stevens is trying to avoid answering an unpleasant question by using a technique made famous by President Bill Clinton in 1998 when he was being questioned by a grand jury as part of special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's investigation. Clinton began his answer to a question by saying, "That depends on what your definition of 'is' is." edit »
