* {{Critical Research Failure}} aside, the depiction of Inupiat families being so indolent towards murdering their parents that ''there is a theme park-like business for it.'' That wasn't even ''common practice.''



** Are you trying to imply that making cracks about your wife being barren to children ''while she's standing right next to you'' is in poor taste?

** The over-the-top musical number sung by Ma and Pa Tex, set to the tune of the ''{{Bonanza}}'' TitleThemeTune.
** The Eskimo family starts whistling the theme to ''TheAndyGriffithShow'' -- the ''entire'' theme -- for the sole, flimsy sight gag that Andy his son Opie would be shown fishing to this song over the opening credits.

* HilariousInHindsight[=/=][=~Hey, It's That Guy!~=]: It's impossible to watch this movie now and not briefly think, "Wait, [[{{Seinfeld}} George and Elaine]] got married?"
** And gave birth to [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Frodo]], no less!
** Even when the movie was being produced, they were already famous for ''{{Seinfeld}}'', also making it an example of WTHCastingAgency.
** [[{{Law and Order Special Victims Unit}} John Munch]] has somehow made his way to the Arctic and is taking tickets for the Eskimos' elders' abandonment on the ice floes.
