* {{Expy}}: Eddie's three friends from the neighbouring power plant bear similarities to characters from the series.
** The worker in the green beanie is the chubby one, and he tells what he thinks are funny stories in strange ways, making him the Spudgun of the group, [[DecompositeCharacter although Steven O'Donnell plays the incompetent chef in this film]].
** The blonde-haired worker fills Dave Hedgehog's shoes, being the shortest and also telling weird stories, only more sensibly than the beanie-wearing worker.
** Even though Nigel Planer had no role in ''Bottom'', the worker who scans the fish's radioactivity serves as a stand-in for Planer, being the tallest of the group, having a gruff and stoic attitude like [[Series/TheYoungOnes Neil Pye]], and acting as a voice of reason for the other two like [[Series/FilthyRichAndCatflap Ralph Filthy]].

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To ''Series/FawltyTowers''. There's a nasty hotel manager, his long-suffering sidekick, a dodgy sign out front, a dotty old guest who drinks too much, an alcoholic chef who destroys most of the food, at least two couples with active sex lives and an attractive foreigner who gets sexually assaulted. Take away any sense of class or decorum and you've got this movie in a nutshell.
