Notes & Trivia[]
- This episode is included on the Spaceballs: The Animated Series DVD collection.
- The plot of the episode is a lampoon of both the Back to the Future film series and the Terminator film series.
- The title to this episode pokes fun at actor/politician Arnold Schwarzenegger who became the governor of California in 2003, earning himself the portmanteau nickname "The Governator". This in turn, was actually a reference to Schwarzenegger's work in the Terminator film franchise.
