- TriviaThe opening frame of part 3 says, "0100100001101001" which is binary for "Hi" in ascii.
- GoofsDuring the first 'Deathball match', the booth window is smashed and Wernstrom gets knocked onto the court, however in the next overview shot, the window is intact and he is still stood behind it.
- Crazy creditsOPENING SUBTITLE: The Proud Result of Prison Labor OPENING CARTOON: Instead of crashing into the giant screen, the Planet Express Ship goes through the screen and into a cartoon spoofing 'Steamboat Willie (1928)' and then crashes back out
- Alternate versionsThis direct-to-DVD movie was the 2nd of 4 to be released after the tv series was cancelled at the end of season 5. When the series was to be revived on a different network, this movie was split into 4 parts, each part equal to the usual length of a tv episode, and shown first as season 6 episodes 5 through 8. The other 3 movies were also similarly split and formed the rest of season 6, 16 episodes in all. Finally, the new episodes made specifically for tv followed as season 7. This practice was identically used for later tv syndication and streaming services such as Hulu.

Featured review
Futurama The Beast with a Billion Backs: More generic Futurama "Fun"
The Beast with a Billion Backs, the very title is an adult joke that kids won't understand which pretty much sums Futurama as a show up.
It follows on from the events of Benders Big Score (2007) and see's Earth under attack from a multi-tentacled entity whose intentions are anything but PG. Not quite Japanese anime level but still pretty questionable stuff.
Failing to hit the emotional heights of the previous movie it is thankfully loaded with a few more jokes. Sadly I still don't find it all that funny, it's like the Simpsons just without the charm.
I'm yet to binge Futurama and still have a couple more feature films to view, but can confidently say that though I don't dislike it the adventures of the Planet Express do little for me.
The Good:
There are laughs to be had
The Bad:
Story is a tad uncomfortable for a light hearted show like this
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I was told there would be sugar syrup!
When you have one eye winking and blinking are indistinguishable
Nixon was known for his class
