    Not only did Lucas endorse this movie, he let them use ILM (the VFX studio he founded) to do the VFX for it which is why the production value is so high. His only condition was that they couldn’t sell any products related to the film, hence the merchandising gag.

    The scene with Pizza the Hut could only be filmed once. The interior of the costume was practically an oven. Think about it, that was real melted cheese, sauce, bread and pepperoni. The actor had to be pulled out due to heat exhaustion (if not heat stroke). Afterwards, the actor received medical advice not to get in the costume again and then he refused to do so once he was back on set. No other actors would get in the costume after they saw what happened to the original actor, so they had to use what film they managed to get on the first and only recording.

    "What the hell is that? And why does my brain know that?" That's The Colonel Bogey March, made famous by its use in the movie The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) starring Alec Guinness, who later went on to play Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy. The march has since been used in many other places, and is one of those pieces of music that everyone knows although many probably have no idea where they know it from.
