Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• editting and continuity bloopers: While TJ is passed out, his hand is obviously underneath the tire of the blue van the imposter is using. Cut back to the imposter loading in the beauty. Cut back to TJ and the van mysteriously disappears from the shot. which is good because it pulls straight out and TJ would've been in pain. [edit]
• When TJ tries to stop "Superboy" (the imposter) from kidnapping the beauty, the imposter punches TJ. A stunt double obviously punches TJ because when the fight scene is shown, "Superboy" has curly hair then cut back to the straight-haired imposter. [edit]

• This episode features one of the most hip transformations of young Clark Kent into the Boy of Steel. Changing for action, Clark heroically rips open his button down preppy shirt to reveal the "S" shield underneath -- while riding a skateboard. [edit]

• [Hugo punches Superboy in the face, only to injure his own hand]
  Hugo: Wooo-hoo-hoo!!
  Superboy: What were you expecting, a glass jaw? [edit]

• The episode title is a spoof of the fairy tale "The Beauty and the Beast". [edit]
