Miscellany of Bender's Big Score

This article is about the trivia, the quotes, the references, etc. appearing in Bender's Big Score. It does not, however, include DVD information, character listings and cast information.

It is a separated article due to the fact that the amount of information to deal with in a trivia manner is huge compared to a regular episode.

General Trivia

 * While anchovies and cows are extinct, pandas are apparently not.
 * When in Egypt, Bender says "Scarab forearm bird bird bird!", which, when translated to heiroglyphs, means "kheper d", then a, w, o, or m three times. In short, nothing.
 * 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 retconning 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, The Luck of the Fryrish, and Jurassic Bark.).
 * When Fleb points out that the Time Sphere is one way, he is reading a book called "A Brief History of Time Travel." This book is copy-write in the year 4972, an obvious point in the future.
 * 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.

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

 * 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.
 * 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.
 * 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 of 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.)
 * 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.
