* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Did the previous Beverly Hills troop leaders quit because they were simply bored, shallow socialites with a short attention span, or were they scared off by Velda’s endless harassment?
* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Was Phyllis' crack about Velda being left at the mercy of "Really lonely mountain men" directed at her looks or at her terrible personality? The joke can be taken either way.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** [[Music/TheBeachBoys You can make it big, you can make it bigger than life...]]
** “Gather round you friends of mine, we’re Wilderness Girls and it’s cookie time...”
* SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny: During their uniform presentation, a Red Feather troop member asks TBH if they come from Mars. Another member and Velda's daughter Cleo responds, without a {{beat}}, "Worse. Beverly Hills!"
* HarsherInHindsight:
** The intro was animated by Spümcø, Creator/JohnKricfalusi's animation studio, and seeing the young girls being animated by him after reports about his behaviors involving underage girls paints a whole darker picture today.
** Carla Gugino who played Chica, the girl whose parents neglected her to the point that they forgot her birthday, ended up playing Sally Jupiter, the superhero stage mom who was consistently vilified for being the "whorish" Silk Spectre.
* HilariousInHindsight: When Velda visits Phyllis' hotel bungalow and asked her "Is this what you call roughing it?", Phyllis' responds "1 bathroom for 9 people, yes". 6 years later, Shelley Long, who plays Phyllis, appears in ''Film/TheBradyBunchMovie'', where the house has 1 bathroom for 9 people.
** Made even funnier when you realize Betty Thomas, who played Velda, was the director of ''Film/TheBradyBunchMovie''.
** Future ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'' star Tori Spelling as one of the Red Feathers Jamie who make fun of the troop because they're from Beverly Hills.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Phyllis' daughter Hannah is played by a young Music/JennyLewis.
** [[Series/BeverlyHills90210 Tori Spelling]] played Jamie, friend of Velda's daughter and the leader of the Red Feathers.
** Creator/CarlaGugino, whose more well-known projects include ''Film/SonInLaw'', ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'', ''Film/SuckerPunch'', and ''Film/SpyKids'' played Chica.
* ValuesDissonance: Phyllis smokes throughout the whole movie using a cigarette holder. Only one person -- one of the girls in the troop—calls her out on it. Nowadays, no scouting leader could get away with smoking anywhere near children.
* VillainHasAPoint: Velda's motivations for axing Phyllis from TBH are entirely self-serving and judgmental, but her assertion that Phyllis is an unfit leader is somewhat validated by the latter smoking around the children, spiking the stew at the badge ceremony and taking the girls to her divorce hearing.
