- The Andromeda Annihilator, who Cadet shares a cell with, resembles the Shropshire Slasher from "Deduce, You Say."

- Bugs Bunny's catchphrase "Of course, you realize, this means war" (from which the episode title is taken) is actually an allusion itself. The Oscar winning rabbit is quoting Groucho Marx in the movie "Duck Soup". Groucho plays the role of Rufus T. Firefly, the president of Freedonia who eventually leads his nation to war with the neighbouring nation of Sylvania on the flimsiest of excuses.
