This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (less than one hour in length) in 2003. It was the first episode in the series to be nominated for any Emmy.
(edit)
This is the only episode in which Breckin Meyer is the voice of Josh Mankey. He is also reunited with Lauren Tom in this episode---they have done voice work together on King of the Hill.
(edit)
One of five first season episodes altered post-release to include songs from the then-upcoming Kim Possible soundtrack. In this case: Angela Michael's "I'm Ready".
(edit)
Animation Production by: Rough Draft Korea Co., Ltd.
(edit)
Kim: And I gotta tell you, Drakken was easy compared to this.
Ron: Reality check, Kim. If you can defeat an international superfreak, you can handle Josh Mankey.
Wade: (on the Kimmunicator) Kim. He has just left third period, and is headed your way!
Kim: What?
Wade: Subject: Mankey. I triangulated his position on a GPS satellite. He's passing the gym.
(Kim runs into the nearest broom closet, and drags Ron with her)
Ron: Okay, I think you've crossed the line here.
Kim: I... can't do it
Wade: Target is on the move. Closing in... 4... 3... 2... he's on top of you!
Kim: Maybe I just give up
Ron: I repeat... (in a megaphone) you can handle this!
(Kim runs out of closet acting very nervous)
Josh: Hey.
Kim: Hey. Um, oh... I'm sorry about the banner. You know, the one I tore down.
Josh: It was kinda weak anyway.
Kim: Oh, great! I mean, too bad. New one's better?
Josh: Much. Don't tear it down.
Kim: Definitely not. (nervous) Eh... guess I'll see you at the dance, huh? Maybe I'll see...you there.
Josh: At the dance?
Kim: Sure! Maybe you'll be there? Maybe with me?
Josh: Are you, what, asking me to the dance?
Kim: I know, I know, I sound so random, but yes, yes, I am.
Josh: Cool.
Kim: Very.
Josh: So I'll come by around seven?
Ron: (in megaphone) I need a ride too. (Kim slams the closet door) You can swing by around seven fifteen. Actually, no, my mom's gonna be hanging my pants, so maybe, like, seven thirty? (edit) (Wade is hacking into the robo-warrior)
Wade: I'm in!
Computer: Password required.
Wade: Huh? Oh, great! Um... Nakasumi? (writes in password)
Computer: Access denied.
(at Drakken's lair)
Ron: Flying kick now.
(He tries to take a flying kick to the robot, but a claw from it grabs him)
Robo-Warrior: Konnichiwa
Ron: ...and now I'm upside down.
Drakken: Ooh. The buffoon. (Rufus falls down)
Ron: Rufus!
(Kim shoots her grappling rope, and flies down to grab Rufus)
Drakken: What!? (tries to take down Kim using the robot's arms)
Drakken: (has Kim cornered) You should have stuck to babysitting! What makes you think an ordinary teenager could possibly defeat me?
Wade: (still trying to figure out the password) Uh... Z-Boy?
Computer: Access denied.
Wade: We do not have time for this!
Robo-Warrior: Konnichiwa
Wade: Ah! Konnichiwa!
(laser beam deactivates just as it was going to blast Kim when Wade then appears on the big screen)
Wade: Score!
Kim: Wade!
Drakken and Ron: (in choir) What?
Drakken: No-ho!
Ron: Busted!
Drakken: Indeed.
(Shego removes the Kimmunicator as the robot begins to go berserk. Kim and Shego fight in the control room, and spins around, with Drakken and Ron hanging in the arms) (edit) (Kim is climbing up the back of the Robo-warrior)
Kim: Where is that override thingy?
(a camera appears and Drakken sees Kim, just before she knocks out the camera)
Drakken: Get of my back!
(one of the robo-warrior's claws rips off big parts of the back, and reveals the override module)
Kim: Yes! (she attaches the Kimmunicator to the override module) Good luck, Wade! (edit) Drakken: She's gone! It's impossible!
Ron: Actually, it's Possible. Kim Possible. But that's a common mistake.
Robo-warrior: Konnichiwa
(Robo-warrior blasts Ron as he evades it)
Ron: Hey, hey! I'm only the distraction! (edit) (The robo-warrior is searching for Kim and Ron)
Kim: Wade, we're up against a giant robot warrior...
Wade: ...which used to be a robot assembly line! According to these schematics (the ones on Wade's computer screen), Nakasumi-san installed an override module
(The giant robot appears behind them but they don't notice it)
Rufus: Huh?
Robo-warrior: Konnichiwa!
(Kim and Ron notice the robot, and manages to evade it just before it was going to strike) (edit)
Ron: Reality check, Kim. If you can defeat an international superfreak, you can handle Josh Mankey.

(Kim and Ron notice the robot, and manages to evade it just before it was going to strike) (edit)
When Kim is saying "I'll just spit it out", when sitting in the cantina, Josh passes by her. He was supposed to say hi, but no voice came. You can see that he was supposed to say hi, because Kim noticed he was there, even though she was looking the other way, and from the movements of his mouth.
(edit)
During the intro song, "Call Me, Beep Me," watch the blonde cheerleader on the right. When she stops and kneels her eyes are blue. Yet when she stands up to pose her eyes turn brown.
(edit)
Whenever Mr. Dr. Possible mentions Dr. Drakken, he pronounces the name "Drocken."
(edit)
For a moment, when Ron's holding Rufus in Heinrich's snow-mobile thing, his hands are flesh-colored, when he should be wearing gloves.
(edit)
When Ron is pinned by the forklift, his shirt is a light gray rather than black.
(edit)
Dr. Drakken: (pins Ron to wall using forklift)
While in the video game factory in Japan, Drakken pins Ron to a wall with a forklift. The same thing happened to the protagonist of a Japanese serial/TV movie called Fugitive Alien. (edit) Game System: Z-boy
The Z-boy game system's name is obviously a play off Nintendo's smash hit, Game Boy, in addition to Microsoft's Xbox. However, the system looks like the old Sega Genesis. Also, the Z-boy cartoon looks an awful lot like Pac-Man. (edit) Character: Britina
"Britina" is a combination of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, two famous real-life pop stars. (edit) Ron: Drakken's gonna steal Christmas!
This is a reference to the popular children's book/movie, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The book was written by Dr. Seuss, and of course, the movie was inspired by the work. (edit) Shego: Flaring Hands
Shego's hand trick is very similar to the special talent of Liz Sherman, in the comic book, now movie, Hellboy. (edit)
