Trivia

• Mr. Kitty was revealed to be a hermaphrodite on the FAQs section of South Park Studios.
• The Large-Breasted Woman was performed live by porn actress Lisa Daniels then animated later. This technique is called rotoscoping.
  • Likewise, the three burly men attacking the woman during the scene where Kenny rescues her from the men were performed by J. J. Franzen, using the same animation process.
• This is the first and only episode to get a TV-MA-LSV rating.
• This episode shows Gerald Broflovski without his Kippah for the first and only time.
• When Kyle leaves his room to answer the doorbell, a doll of one of the Joozian executives can be seen on his floor.
• Kenny's mouth is briefly seen when he vomits.
• At the beginning of the episode, Mr. Mackey warns the class about "The Choking Game", in which children choke themselves to get a euphoric feeling.
• In the creator's commentary for this episode, Trey Parker and Matt Stone said that the idea came from their annual writer's retreat. Despite having the idea fully flushed out, the main issue was the animation, as they initially believed they could have done all of the Heavy Metal style animation on their machines. Eventually, after weeks of trial and error, they had to resort to hiring an additional group of animators to help out with the hand drawn in-between animation. They point out how extremely difficult it would have been to make South Park in that manner and express their gratitude for the artists and storyboard department that they have.
  • They also mention that the worst part of working on this episode was having to watch Heavy Metal multiple times during production of the episode. Despite this episode being a nod to the film, both Trey and Matt thought the film sucked when they were kids and that it still sucks now.

References to Popular Culture

• The fantasy sequences in this episode broadly reference the 1981 animated anthology film Heavy Metal in animation style, as well as many specific details:
  • The Loc-Nar Trophy is a reference to the Loc-Nar, the film's central villain.
  • The Large-Breasted Woman is a reference to Taarna, the protagonist of the film's most famous segment of the same name.
    • The scene where Kenny saves her from her captors is a reference to the scene in Taarna where Taarna fights off an army of mutated barbarians who had earlier captured her.
  • Gerald's bomber is a B-17, just like the "Pacific Pearl" that featured in the segment of the film entitled, B-17.
    • The nose art on Gerald's plane identifies it as the "Jewish Princess".
  • Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride) by Don Felder plays each time someone cheeses.
  • The episode features two other songs from the film:
    • "Heavy Metal" by Sammy Hager that played in the segment of the film entitled, So Beautiful & So Dangerous.
    • "Radar Rider" by Riggs that was played in the film's opening segment entitled, Soft Landing.
  • Kenny's car is a 1979 black Pontiac Trans Am, a reference to the film's white Corvette that appeared in the Soft Landing segment, and the follow-up segment entitled, Grimaldi.
    • Due to the animation difficulty, a 3-D model was sometimes used in these scenes.
• In the attic where Cartman hides the cats, there is a picture of British author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and he tells his cat to "write a diary".
• Cartman hiding multiple cats in his attic references the Diary of Anne Frank.
• When he goes out to let in Rufus, Cartman wears a fedora and overcoat similar to Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List.
• The scene in which Gerald Broflovski gives a press conference is a reference to former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's press conference when he was forced to resign after being involved with prostitutes.

Continuity
