| 3 | * AdaptationDisplacement: ''Very'' loosely based on Creator/HGWells' ''The Sleeper Awakes''. |
| 4 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oU7UyDyerQ theme]], a wonderful piece of Dixieland jazz performed by Creator/WoodyAllen[[note]]and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band[[/note]] himself. |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 6 | ** Miles claims that when UsefulNotes/RichardNixon left the White House, the staff would double-check the silverware. This was pre-Watergate, mind you. |
| 7 | ** Miles muses that in 1973 he bought Polaroid stock at $7 a share. "It's probably up millions by now!". Polaroid went bankrupt in 2011 thanks largely to TechnologyMarchesOn. |
| 8 | ** Modern research suggests that steak actually ''is'' healthier than wheat germ. |
| 9 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This is a film set in the 1970s. |
| 10 | ** There's the mention of Albert Shanker, then head of a labor union of teachers. Even then, you'd have to be informed on labor issues to know about Shanker's existence. |
| 11 | ** Howard Cosell, a lauded sports broadcaster, is also present. Cosell would retire from broadcasting in the 1980s. |
