Behind the scenes

  • Hong Kong's depiction in the short is a parody of Son Goku, with what appears to be his aura in the form of crackling little lightning bolts around his body and using a Kamehameha blast as the final attack; Goku is the main protagonist of the anime Dragon Ball Z, which first peaked in popularity on Cartoon Network at the time.
