Crow mocks the user-friendly interface of the Mac, asking if Tom wants fairy creatures to do everything on screen for him, then [[BerserkButton pushes his button on the oft-delayed System 7]][[note]]Released in mid-1991, it wasn't perfected til 1997[[/note]].

* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: Joel ''consistently'' mispronounces "Gamera" as "Gameron". You have to wonder how he managed to get that wrong, since the monster is referred to by his correct name throughout the movie and it's spelled properly on the title card.
