Brain: I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille. A nod to the end of the film Hollywood Boulevard, a story about a washed up silent film actress, which had a cameo appearance by famed Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille.
The beginning is a homage to an actual even of when the people ran away when the train was about to come during the premerie of Edison's first movie, The Great Train Robbery.
Walt Disney can be seen at the end of the episode drawing a preliminary sketch of Mickey Mouse.
The first movie Pinky & Brain try to shoot may be a tribute to Dudley Do-Right. Brain is dressed as a mountie (Do-Right) and Pinky is dressed as Snidely Whiplash.
