General Trivia

 * It is also implied in the commentary of Bender's Big Score that Bender's materials will cause him to melt in hundreds of thousands of years. Though despite this, it does not occur in the film.
 * The writers have been quoted, at Comic-Con International 2008, saying that there is a "scene" containing "all of the characters" from Futurama, all clearly distinguishable. This was true until, due to a joke within the film, they had to take out the child characters.
 * Tickle Me Bender dolls are an obvious parody of Sesame Street's Tickle Me Elmo dolls.
 * A 308" screen can be seen later for some short time, continuing the joke about the Professor's size problem (only 301").
 * The Australian release of this film falls on the eve of the anniversary of Bender's Big Score's Australian release date.
 * Robby the Robot will make another cameo appearance in this movie, the first being in.
 * In this movie, the Feminista's pink camouflage outfits are similar to the Zoidberg-stained outfits from and the Professor wears his driving gear from.
 * "Bender, are you crazy?" "No, it's Fry who's crazy in this one!" refers to when Bender went insane in Bender's Game, and is also an obvious fourth wall break.
 * Additionally, the very last scene, while not a true break of the fourth wall, seems to refer to the uncertainty of whether this is the last of the series.
 * Right before Bender bends the brick wall, they abandon most of the eco-feminist group.
 * In the crowd scene near the end, the break in the glass is explained as not causing a life support problem (in the commentary) due to a force field. Apparently there was also such a force field on the construction site where Fry was working when Bender tapped his phone.
 * There are many risque jokes in the film, including Fanny twanging Bender's Antennae, Bender's Antennae growing in size, and two robots with disk drives on their crotch areas, with the Manbot transferring a disk to the Fembot.
 * This is the only time we have ever seen the Hypnotoad in a state where it has stopped hypnotizing long enough for its eye color to return to normal.
 * This also the only time that Fry's lack of the delta brainwave has come into play without Nibbler playing a part.
 * Destroying 12% of a galaxy would seriously upset its gravitational balance, possibly by enough to make it come apart altogether.
 * However, it depends on what is meant by "destroy". If the matter stays (generally) in the same place (just not in the same form/configuration), it would definitely qualify as "destruction", but the large-scale gravity wouldn't change that much.
 * Also, the dark matter component of galaxy (meaning "real" dark matter, not the former starship fuel) would be left untouched by most of conventional methods of destruction, as it doesn't interact with normal matter except via gravity.
 * The scene where Fry lectures Nine on his presentation is made to poke fun at how different history lessons are told in Films than real life.
 * The scene where Bender is dressed up as, and acts like a hooker is yet another instance of Bender acting feminine.
 * The Earth Supreme Court is made up of current United States justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and celebrities Snoop Dogg (chief justice), Bjork, Paula Abdul, Janeane Garofalo, and the voice of Leela, Katey Sagal.
 * A black hole is supposed to be used as a ball return after the 18th hole. This would mean that Black Holes in futurama act similarly to wormholes, however they are not typically used as such because of the fact that humans can not survive the trip through one, unlike the wormholes.
 * Although, officially, there is no confirmation as to which species evolved into the Encyclopods/Dark Ones, there is evidence that the original intention was for it to be the snakes/frogs respectively. The frogs have an appearance that people are more likely to associate with evil, additionally the eyes of the snakes/frogs closely resemble the eyes of the Encyclopods/Dark Ones, and are even the same color.
 * This would also explain why the Encyclopods died out where the Dark Ones barely survived. The frogs started the war by eating the snakes, gaining a slight numbers advantage from the start.
 * The only characters who appear in both this film and Space Pilot 3000 are Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, Michelle, Smitty, URL, Ipgee, Terry, Lou, Nixon, and the Number nine man (Including background, non-speaking characters).
 * It is interesting that the Brainspawn never used foil to block out the thoughts of others. Since they know so much, they should be fully aware of such a solution.
 * During the rally at Leo Wong's minature golf course, Leela urges them to protect the Violet Dwarf star "at Galactic Coordinates 167.84, -58.03 Mark 948." These Galactic Coordinates are located in the Cetus constellation, otherwise known as "the whale" (likely a reference to "Save the Whale" campaigns), specifically the star Mira. Mark 9:48 is a bible verse which states "where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED."
 * The Encyclopod must also have the ability to communicate through mind-reading, as it can talk to people through the vacuum of space.
 * It must also have it's breathing organs in it's pouch, since the pouch has oxygen-releasing trees, and the Encyclopod can breath in space.
 * At the end of the poker game, when Leo announces that Bender has five kings, he holds up a his hand, with five digits on it.
 * 9 says they've been "grokking some super-weird junk." Grok is an esoteric word, and another example of "nerd-humor" being used in Futurama. Use of the word implies a deep knowledge of a subject. Interestingly, the subtitles spell both "grok" and "grokking" correctly.
 * Despite the Professor stating that once entering the wormhole, they may never be able to return, judging by their current location, they entered the ball return of the golfcourse and so they should come out at the 18th hole.

Allusions

 * The scene with the guy mixing Slurm and Mentos is a reference to the chemical reaction between Diet Coke and normal white Mentos.
 * Mars Vegas is an obvious allusion to Las Vegas, Nevada. Many of the Mars Vegas casinos are parodies of current Las Vegas casinos. The Wong is a parody of the Wynn (in both building design and wordmark), Botany Bay is a parody of Mandalay Bay (and is named for the SS Botany Bay, which it also resembles), Miragio is a combination of The Mirage and Bellagio, The Venutian is a parody of The Venetian, Excalibot is a parody of Excalibur, and Buggalo Bill's is a parody of Buffalo Bill's, even though it is not actually not in Las Vegas, but 40 miles south in Primm, Nevada.
 * The sand worm the Wongs and the Planet Express crew are riding in the beginning of the movie is most likely a parody of the Las Vegas Monorail. The worm is also a clear allusion to the sandworms of Frank Herbert's Dune. The Wongs appear to be steering the sand worm using maker hooks.
 * In the introduction sequence, the Planet Express ship flies through a pedestrian mall similar to Las Vegas' Fremont Street.
 * The line from Penn Jillette "our act really didn't change much when he died" is a joke on how Teller isn't supposed to ever talk onscreen during their show.
 * The Keeler Gap, Keeler Crater and the 2261 Keeler asteroid are all existing astronomical locations in our Solar System, though, not named after Ken Keeler, the main writer of the film, but after James Edward Keeler, an unrelated astronomer.
 * The painting covering the safe in the White House is a reference to the Coppertone logo.
 * When Zapp Brannigan, Kif, and Bender sing songs from the 80's, they sing Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf".

Technical Goofs
Following are goofs in the film due to overlooking details and drawing errors.
 * Once again, the Nimbus is smaller than usual, in comparison to the Planet Express Ship, and at one point, it even seemed smaller than it.
 * When the crew and Kif escape from Zapp in the final minutes, Kif is wearing his good uniform, but when they go into the wormhole, he is wearing his usual uniform
 * The crack in the glass at the end crowd scene changes shape throughout the scene.
 * Fry said it was 5 years ago that the Native Martians left the planet, meaning they left in 3003. However they actually left in 3001.
 * The Hypnotoad in the audience scene is way bigger than usual.
 * As are various others, like Guenter.
 * It should also be noted that other beings, like the amazonians, are smaller than they were originally.
 * In the audience scene, Sewer Mutants are seen, even though mutants are not allowed out of the sewers.
 * Also seen is Helmut Spargle, who died in the episode "The 30% Iron Chef" (assuming no one tried to resuscitate him from the ditch Bender left him).
 * Craterface is able to show emotion, even though he is wearing a large mask. His mouth also moves, though in his original appearance it did not.
 * When the Number Nine Man explains to Fry about the Chi at the Legion of Madfellows hideout, he is shown to have a boot on his left foot. However, after he footswears (using his right foot) with Fry, his left foot is shown barefoot.
 * At the start, when Leela is attacked by the Leech/Dark One, Fry is shown to be behind her when he should have been knocked out.
 * When the Feministas captured the Wongs in the cage, Frida Waterfall is shown on the Planet Express ship even though Leela said she was at the Hunnybun Hideout.
 * The fence was supposed to be a billion miles long, but it clearly wasn't when it captured the Wongs.
 * Though, they could just have used some of it.
 * At the countdown from ten to one, the Legion of Mad Fellows are cheering too, even though they are against it.
 * However, this could be so that the Mad Fellows blend in with the crowd, and are not suspected by the Dark Ones.
 * When the Feministas enter the Planet Express Ship, they walk through a closed door.
 * When the professor says that money talks, he holds up a $5 bill. When they zoom in on the bill it is clearly in the hand of Hermes. When the camera zooms out again, the bill is back in Farnsworth's hand.
 * Leo Wong describes the first of his "Space Holes" as a par 2, however the score card shows it as a par 3.

Physics Goofs
The following physics goofs contradict current understanding of the laws of physics and have potential explanations because our knowledge of physical laws is incomplete. New inventions in the 31st century may also contribute possible explanations.
 * In the scene where The Nimbus gets sliced open, the suffocating soldiers' bodies should be swelling(but not bursting) due to the out-gassing of the moisture within their bodies. The vacuum of space would also cause visible skin damage.
 * Bouncing an objective off of a Gas Giant, while theoretically possible at high enough speeds, assuming the theory that they get more solid as you get closer to the core holds true, would significantly reduce the object's speed. The golf ball seemed not to lose any speed. It is also way bigger in proportion to Jupiter than it is to Mars.
 * The Planet Express Ship can travel to the edge the universe in one week. The professor saying that the wormhole would send them far enough away that they don't know if they'll ever come back would mean they'd have to either be sent outside the universe, or to a different universe. If it's the former then that means that the universe is far less than 1 quadrillion light years in diameter (which is known to be false). If it's the latter, it means there is another universe, which is inescapable, within 1 quadrillion miles of the specific wormhole.
 * However, the ship is now using whale oil instead of dark matter which may make it slower. The ship being slower creates another problem, as, should the series continue, it would require the writers to either limit the scope of any future episodes, or come up with a way to make it faster again.
 * The ship also only ever traveled to the edge of the universe (excluding the non-canon journey to the furthest corner in the game). It's possible that our local cluster of galaxies is nearer to one edge than the other.
 * The sugar should not have been able to be poured into the fuel tank, as there is no gravity in space.
 * Although Saturn's ring's may have gravity, it's impossible at this point in time to know how strong or how much it would be effected by the sweeper removing its matter.
 * It is known that all known ships have artificial gravity. It's possible that this field extends a small distance beyond the hull, making it affect the sugar.
 * Also the smoke from the sweeper would spread equally in all directions without gravity. Although, this could be explained by the above explanation.
 * The worms in the organic potato should not have been alive in the vacuum of space
 * The scent of the burnt potato Could not have traveled 100s of 1000s of miles through the vacuum of space to Leo Wong's location, especially not in mere seconds.
 * Additionally, from the rings, Saturn would appear much bigger than it did in the film. It should basically fill the screen. And any part to Saturn's side shouldn't have such a pronounced curve.
 * On top of that, for the sweeper to make such a large gap in the rings it would need to be massive, as in moon-sized or such. It is big, but nowhere near the size it needs be.
 * Finally, Leo Wong should not of been able to smell the burning potato while wearing a space suit.
 * The Encyclopod is able to move through space by flapping it's "wings," which is impossible, since there is no atmosphere to push him forward.
 * If the Encyclopod uses psychic powers to communicate with people through the vacuum of space, it could not have heard the Number 9 Man's talking since he was wearing tinfoil. Though it could have heard the thoughts of someone hearing Number 9 Man speak.
 * Although Mad Fellows mentioned that even foil is ineffective against the Dark One at close range. Encyclopod could also have had this mind-reading ability.
