Trivia: At the beginning when walking through town, Quinn (played by Jerry O'Connell) says "where's Wes Craven" and Rembrandt says "what is this, Scream 3?" Jerry O'Connell was in "Scream 2", which was directed by Wes Craven. At the time the episode aired, "Scream 3" had not been produced yet.

Slither - S3-E22

Trivia: This episode is about a bunch of snakes turned deadly when two "tri-adders" (a fictional species described as python like) are capture and one breaks free. Kari Wuher, who played Maggie and relatively new to the show, was in the film "Anaconda." "Anaconda" premiered two weeks prior to this episode being aired.

This Slide Of Paradise - S3-E25

Trivia: In this episode, the group land on an island with hybrids who are half man and half animal, similar to "The Island of Dr. Moreau." This episode also features Michael York who starred in the 1977 film "The Island of Dr. Moreau." In the film, York plays Andrew Braddock who lands on the island after a boat wreck. In the episode, Quinn says they swam ashore after their boat capsized.

Stoker - S3-E24

Trivia: The name of the vampires' band is "Stoker", also the title of the episode. This is a reference to Bram Stoker who wrote "Dracula." Several characters in the show are named after characters in "Dracula", such as Renfield, Harker, and Van Elsinger (a play on Van Helsing). When Quinn mentions the vampire Dracula to Van Elsinger, he says he's never heard of him.

The Last Of Eden - S3-E20

Trivia: This episode was filmed prior to John Rhys-Davies leaving the show. But it ended up being aired after "The Exodus", where Rhys-Davies' character is killed off. So they added the short intro scene with Wade and Rembrandt reflecting on a past slide to the underground world, making this a flashback episode.

Trivia: This was John Candy's last film he made. He unfortunately passed away in his sleep before filming wrapped up. Re-writes and stand-ins were used to finish the film. Candy had finished filming "Canadian Bacon", but "Wagons East" was released 13 months before "Canadian Bacon."

The Weaker Sex - S1-E8

Trivia: After the assassination attempt, Wade remarks "of course it was a man, when did you ever hear of a female assassin?" While she was being snarky, as a point of trivia, at the time (1995) of the last 3 presidential assassination attempts, 2 were by women. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore shot at President Gerald Ford while he was in San Fransisco (which incidentally is where the show was set). "Squeaky" Fromme also attempted to assassinate President Ford in 1975, but her gun never fired.

Bishop73

Trivia: This was John Candy's last film released after his death. Candy died during filming of "Wagons East" but had already finished filming "Canadian Bacon." "Canadian Bacon" sat on the shelf for two years while Michael Moore struggled to get the film distributed once production wrapped up.

Bishop73

Trivia: One of the universes Strange and America go to, a green light meant stop and red meant go. In the pilot episode of "Sliders", the first world Quinn goes to a green light meant stop and red meant go. "Sliders" was about a group of people traveling between parallel universes.

A Band Done - S2-E24

Trivia: The 4th band member, Ronnie, is played by Michael DelGuidice. DelGuidice wrote the "Kevin Can Wait" theme song, "No Ordinary Guy" for the show. DelGuidice, who was born in Long Island, also started a Billy Joel cover band before joining Joel's actual band. In the show, Kevin and other characters often talk about their love for Billy Joel.

Just Another Day... - S5-E13

Trivia: In the final scene, as Jack and Zoe are heading out of Eureka, they pass their younger selves heading into Eureka. This scene is from the pilot episode where Zoe sees another version of her and her dad. However, in the pilot episode, the other (older) Jack and Zoe are in Jack's original car, not his Jeep, and other Zoe waves at them. I would call this a mistake, but I'm listing it as trivia because I know someone would say "after they came back from 1947, things changed so this changed too."

This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18

Trivia: At the 1990 Space Camp, the Awesome Possums say the "way of thermal propulsion" is "Thrust first! Thrust hard! No mercy!" This is play on the 1984 film, "Karate Kid" where Cobra Kai students say the "way of the fist" is "Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!"

Trivia: When Billy is giving his answer in the final round, after he finishes, the audience stares at him in silence. He then shouts "Knibb High football rules!" and the crowd cheers and claps. This is the same as the scene from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" where after the jock finishes talking, the audience just stares at him and he shouts "San Dimas High school football rules!" and the crowd cheers and claps.

Bishop73

Trivia: The TV show with the talking dog Billy and everyone is watching, before the news breaks that Billy cheated, appears to be an episode of a 1990 Canadian TV show called "Dog House." However, the credits that are shown are crew members of the "Billy Madison" film with their job titles.

Bishop73

Trivia: When the kids are talking about video games, they say "Mortal Kombat" was the best game. Bridgette Wilson (who plays Veronica) had been passed up to play Sonya Blade in the "Mortal Kombat" film in favor of Cameron Diaz and so Wilson accepted the "Billy Madison" role. When Diaz dropped out, Wilson got the role as Sonya.
