Miscellany of Bender's Big Score

General Trivia

 * This is one among few Futurama media featuring its title.
 * The film contains a rare use of the main Futurama theme (albeit a remixed version) as incidental music, during the Gold Death Star battle.
 * While anchovies and cows are extinct, pandas are apparently not.
 * When in Egypt, Bender says "Scarab forearm bird bird bird!", which, when translated to hieroglyphs, means "kheper d", then a, w, o, or m three times. In short, nothing. (This is also the same version of the Egyptian used by the Pharaoh Skinner in The Simpsons Bible Stories episode)
 * The first time Bender says "And I bet it's going to get a lot more confusing!", he looks directly at the viewer, a reference to the fact that a large amount of time travel and retroactive continuity is caused through the following events in the movie, due to a partial rewrite of history that scrambles the events of a few episodes (the most confusing being the events of "The Cryonic Woman", Luck of the Fryrish, and "Jurassic Bark".).
 * As noticed in "Space Pilot 3000", using a Suicide Booth costs 25 cents. In the year 2000, Bender tries to use a phone booth, mistaking it for a Suicide booth. The phone booth costs 50 cents. Thus, it is cheaper to kill oneself in the year 3000 than to make one phone call in the year 2000.
 * Email addresses on the petition included; Zoidberg@freemail.web, awong79@marslink.web and bender@ilovebender.com.
 * Amy's email address suggests her year of birth to be 2979. Strangely, this is seen on the petition before she signs.
 * Bender's email address is hosted by the official Futurama site, which was created shortly before this film's release.
 * Hybraxi is a combination of hybrid and taxi.
 * According to the time equation, every living time duplicate is doomed. However, nothing is said about duplicates of non-living things.  If non-living duplicates are also doomed, then all the treasure he stole would have already been destroyed too.
 * Which seems to be implied by the fact that it does not reappear in The Beast with a Billion Backs.
 * It is possible that the treasures taken was not the time duplicate of anything since they (the treasure) never travelled back in time, however this would paradoxically make everyone remember items such as the Mona Lisa having been complete despite Bender stealing it beforehand.
 * The time equation also says that every duplicate is doomed, it's just "a matter of time." However, because this period of time is never specified, it is possible that the duplicates could have lived as long as any other person. Still, none in the show do.
 * Michelle's original "defrost" date was 254 years after 2012, or the year 2266, which is when the first season on the original Star Trek series is supposed to take place.

Cameo characters

 * A lot of characters from earlier episodes (some which may only have appeared once) appear in the film briefly.

Continuity
There are several references to earlier episodes of Futurama. Following episodes are mentioned;
 * Bender flies by when Fry is frozen and destroys New York.
 * Bender mistakes the frozen Fry for the one he is hunting.
 * Bender meets Michelle and the boyfriend she drove off with just before Fry got frozen.
 * Fry touches his own butt when he wants the wallet in his own frozen self, his frozen self wakes up, and he continues to hide inside the tube to 7.95 years later.
 * When Fry (as Lars Fillmore) decides to freeze himself (again), he uses the tube with his girlfriend in (which is at 254 years at the time), he changes the date for the freeze to 990 years, revealing that otherwise the events of that episode would not have happened.
 * Thus revealing that events of that episode took place in 3002.
 * Fry tells Farnsworth that they went back in time to Roswell, which Farnsworth cannot remember (and also that it proves nothing).
 * Seymour Asses is seen several times, and it is revealed that they still keep his fossilised version at Planet Express.
 * When the building crashes with Fry in it, Seymour is thus fossilised. Which is also important to know why this must take place in 2012, because Farnsworth discovers in the episode that Seymour lived 12 more years after Fry left him - thus dying in 2012.
 * When Bender is looking for Fry in the year 2000, he encounters a drunken man in the phone booth speaking to his bartender. The commentary of the DVD reveals that this is in fact the Cryogenisist from Jurassic Bark. In Jurassic Bark, the Cryogenisist is seen saying "I am one hung over cryogenisist." Here, he is seen drunk on New Years Eve.
 * When Bender uses the time code for the first time, the entire footage featuring the God Space Entity (except the time sphere going to Earth) is clips from the episode.

Goofs

 * In the opening scene Fry, Bender, Leela and Amy are standing in the hangar then when the camera pans to Zoidberg they are in the conference room on the second floor.
 * Bender's title during the introduction sequence is "Assistant Manager of Sales" yet in episodes both before and after his job has always been the company chef.
 * In the original 5 minute comicon promo, Leela's dad is seen talking with a regular mouth instead of his usual sideways mouth.
 * When undressing at the nude beach, Amy's butt doesn't seem to have any tattoos on, even though "Three Hundred Big Boys" showed she had at least three talking tattoos.
 * She may have made them removed by then.
 * At the nude beach, Amy is briefly drawn with an extra arm.
 * The Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not given in Stockholm, Sweden, but in Oslo, Norway.
 * At Applied Cryogenics, the table in the tube room is at one point seen with a computer monitor on, it did not have in "Space Pilot 3000", and nor does it have it on other times in the show/film.
 * When the scammers first acquire all the stuff in history, they are determined to kill Fry, not satisfied with removing his tattoo, because he might have memorized it. However, after Fry comes back from the past and gets the tattoo heat-blasted off, the scammers let him live because they "guess the time code really is gone".
 * At the wedding, as Farnsworth and Leela walk across the aisle, the man in the background to the left's eyes seems to have been displaced.
 * When Fry drops his bouquet on the surface of the bubble, the bubble explodes and Fry doesn't disappear off the screen. Instead, he disappear in a drawn line just above the ending of the screen.
 * When Fry explains how he appeared at his own funeral, he resets the timer on the tube right after Fry leaves. However, Fry later uses that same tube to trap Leela.
 * It is plausible - though unconfirmed - that there are more than one room of tubes. This is unlikely, though, because the room Fry is frozen in and the room Leela is frozen in have the same window view.
 * However it is more plausible that someone reopened the tube for an unknown reason, and he simply reset the timer again after Leela got out, knowing his other self was supposed to freeze her.
 * Though, it was a paradox-free time machine code.
 * At the height of the climax at Applied Cryogenics where it is supposed to be New Years Eve (and thus night), it is clearly day outside.
 * When Lars unfreezes the Bender clone due to self-destruct, the Bender has regular pixels for pupils. However, since this Bender still has the iObey virus, his pupils should be red spirals. The same goof happens when Fry uses the time code the first time to escape Nudar and the other scammer aliens.
 * When Lars climbs into Michelle's tube, he breaks off some of her hair. However, her hair seems undamaged when she is unfrozen in "The Cryonic Woman".
 * According to the events of this movie, Fry has had the timecode tattoo the entire time he has been in the future. However, there are a few episodes that show Fry with a tattooless ass (most noticeable in "Future Stock", although, Fry's general butt flab, and the position that he moons Mom at, could have concealed the tattoo; Fry's tattooless ass is also clearly seen in Episode Two: "The Series Has Landed")
 * At the end of the film, when the production codes are seen, they are mostly correct, but the first one is listed as 5AVC01. The correct way would be 5ACV01.
 * When the characters burst out of Planet Express Ship on Neptune, a green mis-colored Hedonism Bot is briefly seen, as well as a reddish-orange Mr. Blob, Zoidberg also comes out twice.
 * Bender's iObey virus is shown to be controlled by a board with a knob, briefly, when Leela was trying to kick Nudar. However, the scammers have used speech commands for the rest of the time.
 * Bender's eyes turn back to normal from the iObey virus, when he is taunting the scammers in the steam room.
 * Michelle's new boyfriend reveals his name is Constantine, In "The Cryonic Woman" Michelle says his name is Charles.
 * Although, Charles Constantine could be his full name.
 * When bender is cracking the safe in the wall his fingers detach from his hand.
 * Hermes manages to survive with no assistance or side effects after being decapitated.
 * Who's to say that in the future babies aren't implanted or engineered with technology to keep their heads alive after decapitation? After all, we've also seen the heads of people whose bodies would have decayed into dust long before Ron Popeil invented the technology to keep heads alive in jars.
 * When Bender goes to Yancy Fry's house in the past looking for Fry, he comes across Philip J. Fry, II. In "Bender's Big Score" he is depicted with red hair, yet in "Luck of the Fryrish" he has brown hair like Yancy.
 * His hair color probably changed as he aged.
 * When Fry returns from the North Pole, the awning above Panucci's Pizza says "Panucci's", but at the end of "Jurassic Bark" the awning says "Panucci's Pizza".
 * When the scammer aliens appear after demolishing Leela's appartment, Nudar is only wearing one ear ring. The second ear ring reappears when Schlump calls for the truck of pandas.
 * When Bender time travels to Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Egyptians get scared when he pulls out a gun and points it at them. But how could they know what a gun is and what a gun could do (especially a futuristic gun) seeing as there weren't any in Ancient Egypt?
 * Bender is a tall metal man with glowing yellow eyes speaking in a language they can't understand and pointing something at them, of course they are scared.
