Episode notes
Funny Bad Guys
- Make bad guys funny, not serious, to avoid disrupting the comedic flow of movies.
- Include gratuitous, absurd side plots, like environmental destruction, for added humor.
Meta Plot Device
- Comedies often rely on overhearing as a plot device for the hero to discover the villain's plans.
- This movie subverts that by having the heroes watch a movie of the villain, which is meta.
Casting Dreams
- The writers confidently included many celebrities in the script, assuming Arnold Schwarzenegger's involvement would guarantee their participation. Ultimately, none of the celebrities agreed to be in the film.
