References

• Raptor mentions he was in a movie titled "The Good, the Bad and the Raptor." This is a play on the title of an Italian film "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly."
• Several Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger references are made. As Raptor is kicked out of the movie lot he says "I'll be back," a famous line by Schwarzenegger from the Terminator series. The man says to Raptor in Austrian like accent "You want to live, then don't steal my lines," even though Raptor is technically dead.
• Felicia appears in her "Mike" gear, similar to episode "And the Walls Come Tumblin Down". This is a parody of the famous workout gear, Nike.

• "I'll Do Anything for Love (But I won't Do That)" by Meat Loaf.

Goofs

• Even though the dragon has broken free of the ice by it's head, later on the dragon breaks free from the ice while being completely covered.
• When Raptor is above the pit, half of his pant legs are colored in the same tone as his skin.
• The dome of ice created by the Sasquatches is inconsistently drawn as transparent or opaque. In addition, the hole in the dome created by the dragon's fireball appears in the sky before the fireball actually passes through it.
