The Runaway Reptar movie generally has the cast's lips movements not matching up with their dialogue (to make it resemble a stereotypical attempt at dubbing a Japanese movie into English.) However, earlier in the film, when the professor says "It's too late, my friends," his lips DO match up with what he is saying.
Angelica's "Pego" blocks are a spoof on Legos.
Chuckie: Someday I'll be able to talk to grown-ups, and they'll probably won't listen to me neither.
Lyrics to the Drive-In Intermission trailer song Come on and try our snack bar, And soon you will be back 'thar, For chips with nacho cheese on top, That'll make your cholesterol drop! Chock up on our sodas, And soon you'll take a load of, Bon-bons back to Mom and Dad, Sugar's good and never bad...
At the time, this episode was the longest Rugrats episode ever, as well as the longest episode of any Nicktoon. This episode is 60 minutes with commercials (but not counting the "Snick House" segments on most Snick telecasts, which would otherwise lengthen it to 75 minutes); 44 minutes without. In some countries, this episode is televised as a 2- or 4-parter, due to its length and the channels' schedules. In the US, this episode is televised only as a 60-minute special. In Canada, YTV and Canal Famille both presented this episode as a 2 parter, and they both show it as part of the normal rotation. It is also because of this that Nick has assigned 3 numbers to this episode -- "996" for the entire 44-minute special & video, "110" for part 1 and "111" for part 2. In November 2000, Acorn Nuts eclipsed "Runaway Reptar" as the longest Rugrats episode at 66 minutes without ads.
The Reptar Movie was meant to be a Japanese dubbed movie.
This episode was originally released on home video. It airs as a one-hour special.
Rosenmount Pictures is an most likely to be an allusion of Paramount Pictures.
Angelica: I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling babies! This is, of course, a reference to the famous line villains often said in the Scooby-Doo cartoons, "I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
The intermission snack-bar trailers playing before the films start at the drive-in are a parody of the old snack-bar ads that usually played at drive-in theaters, starting in the 50s, including popular ones like "Let's All Go to the Lobby" and the one with the food performing circus stunts.
Element: Reptar Movie
The Reptar Movie is a reference to Godzilla movies, but mostly the not-so-great dubbing.
