General trivia

 * At the time this was being made, E. Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons & Dragons and a one time guest star of Futurama, had passed away. Although this being made is merely a coincidence.
 * The plot of there being a dark matter shortage, resulting in higher prices, most likely is a parallel to our current oil crisis, with gas prices going over $4 a gallon.
 * Long before Bender's Game, rumors floated around the net about David X. Cohen saying that Igner was Professor Farnsworth's son. The rumors were proven true in the film.
 * Leegola and Gynacaladriel making out is likely a response to fans with lesbian fetishes frequently fantasizing about Leela and Amy getting together.
 * This film marks the first time that Maurice LaMarche is listed as a regular, and the first time that Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, and David Herman are listed as "Also Starring". LaMarche was previously listed as "Also Starring", and LaMarr, Tom, and Herman were previously listed as guest stars.
 * The name Hermaphrodite is a word that refers to someone who is biologically transgender. Noticably, this incarnation of Hermes has breasts.

Allusions

 * Mombil alludes to Mobil, an existing oil company.
 * The fight with The Great Wizard Greyfarn and Ignus is a reversed parody of the fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back.
 * Dr. Perceptron says, "Stop! Hammer time!"  This is a lyric from rapper MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This."
 * One of the patients at the HAL Institute is Rosie the Robot Maid from The Jetsons. She even mentions Elroy and Astro (or "the dog" as she calls him) from the show.
 * Frydo's reflections do a parody of "Cutlery Corner".
 * The item number 1101-1816 is a reference to an incident on the show involving a katana.
 * One of the ships in the Space Demolition Derby is made of Lego, while another is made out of an Erector Set.
 * The Teletubbies are briefly seen during the montage of scenes with Leegola and Hermaphrodite.
 * One of the Trolls says, "Ruh-roh!" This is a reference to Scooby-Doo, because this was the title character's catchphrase.
 * Leela says that Sex and the City is "hilarious!"

Continuity

 * Somehow the late Free Waterfall Jr. makes an appearance as part of the Space Derby audience.
 * The scene where Leela finds Nibbler on Vergon 6 does not follow the same path as it does in Love's Labours Lost in Space. In the episode, Fry and Bender converse with Leela before Nibbler begins gnawing on the coconut. There is no time cut in the movie where these missing lines would fit.
 * It is possible however, that the scene shown is simply Nibbler's memory of how things happened, not how they actually did. This would mean that the manner in which Mom captured the Nibblonian ship, and saw Nibbler excreting Dark Matter were simply imagined and may have happened differently.
 * In part one, Zoidberg says he wanted to be a song and dance man, but in various episodes, he said he wanted to be a stand-up comedian. This may indicate that Zoidberg just wanted to be a performance artist, but not necessarily a particular type.
 * Additionally, Zoidberg says that he knew his parents. This completely contradicts "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?" where Decapodians die during childbirth and "A Taste of Freedom" where flashbacks were shown of Zoidberg living with his aunt.

Goofs

 * When Zoidberg's head is cut off from his body, it shrinks.
 * This is, however, mentioned in the commentary, where they explain it was the only way to do it for animation.
 * Nibbler seems to return from eating himself with no questions asked or even noticing that he left.
