4* The "spear" gag is a hard one. [=McCrosky=] says Ted was a hotshot pilot "a long time ago". The spear means that "The War" where Ted flew really was ''that'' long ago.
5** I thought it was a CallBack from when Kramer was being chased by Indians on the drive over.
6** In this movie? Could easily be both.
7* [=McCrosky=] is addicted to smoking, drinking, amphetamines and glue. Remember he is an air traffic controller.
8** ''Was'' addicted. He decided to go cold turkey on everything at once, which actually does make a certain amount of sense in terms of willpower, even if it is, when you think about it, an absolute nightmare of withdrawal symptoms.
9* The woman suffering from illness having eggs come out of her mouth and hatch birds.
10** Maybe its a StealthPun that she's suffering from bird flu?
11* FridgeHorror: That poor girl awaiting a heart transplant, just to end up in an ambulance accident on the runway...
12* Rex Kramer's vicious attack dog is a golden retriever, a breed legendary for friendliness and playfulness.
13* Even before WZAZ had its antenna knocked down, a radio station using "Where Disco Lives Forever" as a slogan in the city where [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night Disco Demolition Night]] took place was on borrowed time anyway.
14* Johnny's behaviour makes more sense if you take it as a given that he knows he's in a spoof.
