** Johnny Thunder refers to Zack the LEGO Maniac, the star of the LEGO commercials from the late 80s and early 90s. Here, he is also a CompositeCharacter with the LEGO Maniac of the late 90s, who shows up in ''LEGO Mania'' comics and says, [[CatchPhrase "GOTTA BUILD LIKE CRAZY!"]]

This tongue-in-cheek script for a supposed DeletedScene from the original film is written as a loving homage and tribute to fan-favorite Toys/LEGOThemes from the late [[TheNineties nineties]] and the TurnOfTheMillennium including Toys/LEGOAdventurers, Toys/RockRaiders, Toys/LEGOAlphaTeam, and VideoGame/LEGOIsland. Much of its humor derives from [[LampshadeHanging its self-awareness]] and [[PlayedForLaughs it never takes itself seriously]] as it [[ReferenceOverdosed overdoses on references]], over-the-top ProductPlacement, and [[InCharacterCommentaries notes from the screenwriter about the studio crew]].

* ProductPlacement: As a RunningGag, whenever a Franchise/{{LEGO}} set is mentioned or appears, text flashes at the bottom of the screen advertising that set. Ultimately {{subverted|Trope}} when the Information Center from ''VideoGame/LEGOIsland'' appears and the text begins to advertise that set... only to realize that it was never released as a set.
