* CreatorBacklash, AKOM, the show's international animation studio based in Korea, disliked the gag showing Korean studios as hellholes, and didn't want to draw it.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The man sitting in front of Homer during the parent-teacher conference is clearly designed to be Ralph's father, and the original script in fact identified him as such and gave him a line. The decision to make Chief Wiggum Ralph's dad was made around this time, so it was scrapped.
-->'''Ralph's Father:''' Miss Hoover! Mr. Simpson is kicking me!\\
'''Homer:''' I am not!

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** Snake – during his crime spree after breaking out of prison – is disappointed that the [=VCR=] he stole plays only Beta (rather than the then prevalent VHS); Beta-formatted [=VCR=]s had been retired from the United States' market in 1988 (though movies were released on the Beta format until 1996).
** Twofold with Bart being unable to see the movie:
*** With movies and TV shows being readily available online and the "films on demand" option on many modern cable packages, Bart would nowadays be perfectly able to watch "The Itchy & Scratchy Movie" without having to go to the movie theater (and Homer and Marge would have to use parental controls to keep Bart from seeing the movie online and on-demand).
*** Even when this episode first aired, the notion that Homer would be able to prevent Bart from watching the movie was quite farfetched, as Bart could've easily found ways to see it, like sneaking into the theater (or just going to another theater that Homer hadn't been to yet), watching it on video or on cable at a friends house (or at his own home when Homer wasn't around), etc.

Moved to the YMMV page.


* CriticalDissonance: This episode is notable for being the first ''Simpsons'' episode to be called the "worst episode ever" (by a poster on [[Website/{{Usenet}} alt.tv.simpsons]] two days after its first airing), inspiring Comic Book Guy's future {{Catchphrase}}, even though this episode doesn't seem as bad as the later ones.
