** Also, Bollywood didn't gain massive Western awareness until the 90s/2000s - people certainly ''knew'' about it (1952's ''Aan'' gained significant mainstream attention, for instance), but in the 70s it was still considered more of a niche film industry. The writers most likely intended the gag of that scene to be "haha, Gonzo wants to travel halfway across the world to work for a random film industry when he could just drive to Hollywood much quicker and gain much more mainstream appeal! Typical weirdo Gonzo!"

** Gonzo is weird, but he's smart too. Just look at how well he played Charles Dickens in ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' thirteen years later, reciting passage after passage from the original book by heart. Going to Bombay instead of Hollywood to break into the movies is an unconventional choice for an American, but Gonzo is savvy enough to know about the thriving Bollywood film industry.

* Gonzo: "I want to go to Bombay, India, and become a movie star." Fozzie: "You don't go to Bombay to become a movie star. You go where we're going. Hollywood!" When I was a little kid and had never heard of Bollywood, it seemed like Fozzie was calling out Gonzo for his weird idea of thinking that Bombay was a place where one could become a movie star. Yet by the time the film was made in 1979, Bombay was already the center of the largest film industry in the world. Of all the cities in the world, how did the writers manage to choose one that made '''more''' movies than Hollywood?

* Why does Kermit seem so much more reluctant to let Miss Piggy go to Hollywood with them than anyone else he meets? He invites all the other Muppets without a second thought (even those who decline or get left behind accidentally), but when Miss Piggy wants to go he acts inconvenienced. Granted, he was inviting her to get ice cream and she misunderstood him, but did it really surprise him that much that another aspiring entertainer would want to go to Hollywood?

* I know I shouldn't question Muppet Magic, but how is it that Miss Piggy's agent just happen to know where to reach her? This was before cell phones. The restaurant she and Kermit dine at can make sense, because she does mention to him that she placed a call to him beforehand, and probably told him he could probably reach her there, but what about when she and Kermit are abducted by Doc Hopper and his goons? How did he happen to reach her at Professor Krassman's laboratory?
