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.
