ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- This title references the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" like the episode from the program "ReBoot" entitled "Crouching Binome, Hidden Virus."
  EDIT SHARE
- The Karate Kid: Karate Teacher's chores
  
  The chores that the karate teacher gave the triplets and Penny are very similiar to the ones Mr. Miyagi gives to Daniel in The Karate Kid.
  EDIT SHARE
- :
  The Jack Stone movie Penny and company watch is dubbed in the way that the lip syncing does not match the dialogue. Films produced in Asia, such as the Ultraman films and the martial arts fims, are notorious for having that happen.
