Trivia[]
- The ending of McBain resembles the ending of James Bond movies, which have historically had bad guys getting killed, quips, make-out scenes and "James Bond will return in ......" tag lines.
- In the McBain movie, three of the board room villains are the Spin Doctor, Makeup Man, and Mudslinger from the episode, "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish".
- Pope John Paul II shows up for the unveiling of The Homer.
- When Herb asks if all of Homer's kids were born in wedlock, Homer confirms that the boy (Bart) "was a close call", possibly referring to the fact that he impregnated Marge before they married.
- The car that Homer designs (aptly named "The Homer") is featured in the games The Simpsons Road Rage and The Simpsons: Hit and Run.
- The failure of The Homer is based on the failure of the Ford Edsel built by the Ford Motor Company from 1958 to 1960. The vehicle was built to compete with both General Motors and Chrysler but was considered as a failure for Ford due to poor design features and poor sale figures.
- In the boardroom, Herb mentioned vehicles with "vicious animal names", including the Mustang and Cheetah. Known as the Bill Thompson Cheetah, the Cheetah was an American sports car built from 1963 to 1966. Built by Chevrolet performance turner, William Thompson (known for creating performance engines for Chevrolet's well-known vehicles, including the Bel Air, Biscayne, Corvette, and Corvair), the Cheetah was built as both as a race car and as a competitor to Carroll Shelby's Cobra.
Goofs[]
- As Homer is trying to apologize to Herb, Herb is grinning, even though he is actually cross with Homer where it should be showing Herb's mouth frowning. But when the scene changes to Herb's full face after Homer said, "off without me", now we see how Herb's expression is supposed to look.
