Behind the scenes
- Brian drives a Ford pick-up truck.
- When Monster sees Rascal shoot past him, he makes a crack by saying, "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Super Dog," which is a paraphrase of the intro of the 1950s Adventures of Superman TV series, in which the famous line, "Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" was spoken.
- Mr. Gibbs owns a Sony TV.
- Ken calls C.H.O.M.P.S. Benji after the dog movie character.
- There are Coca-Cola vending machines outside Norton Security and at the airport.
- The Blu-ray releases of the film include an intro from actor Wesley Eure, and audio commentary from Eure and co-writer Duane Poole.
Errors
- The first time the newscaster appears, it is with Don Messick's voice, but the second time he appears, it is with the actor's own voice.
- The security device itself is labeled Norton Security Co., but the company itself is referred to as Norton Security Systems.
