Release

Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: August 15, 1997 on Cartoon Network

Behind the scenes

  • Birdman says to Zorak, "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry," which is what David Banner said in the 1978 The Incredible Hulk TV series.
  • Gag credits include Nathan Cook as Space Ghost's male secretary, and Michael Lazzo for "gloves."
  • The Cartoon Network logo at the end also has the voiceover of Birdman saying his name weakly.

Errors

  • Since Bob introduces Moltar as the director, it's unclear what his job is supposed to be.
  • When Birdman says to Lokar, "Speak English, sissy," his cowl is the same color as his wings.
  • Tower and Ice have been flipped, as Ice's name appears backward on her costume. When she says, "Absolutely not," in response to Birdman asking if he can get some respect, she and Tower are shown correctly.
