- The final scene in the episode shows a series of zoom-out shots showing the last recording, but the last of these shots shows the group, including Snarf, who had actually left a moment earlier. [2]
- Lion-O opened the Eye of Thundera for the camera, but in the next shot the eye was closed. But after that, the Eye was open again as he shrunk the sword back down and closed the eye. [3]
- The recorders make sounds like a camera taking a still photograph, yet it plays back video footage. [3]
Quotes[]
- Mumm-Ra: Ancient spirits of iron and steel, salvage the robots and war machines of the past. Send me a mechancical plague to bring down the curtain on those wretched Thundercats, once and for all!
....
- Mumm-Ra: Rest assured, Thundercats, this was just a rehearsal.
....
- Snarf:: It doesn't really look like me, but - it's not, too bad. Run it again. I like the part where I dodge around the table.
- Tygra: Was that Snarf?
- Snarf: Of course it was me.
- Tygra: Strange... didn't look like you.
....
- Lion-O: I hope you're getting all this, because I'm not doing any retakes.
....
- Mumm-Ra: Cowards! Bunglers! Obviously, I expected too much from a cast of bit-playing Mutants. Rest assured, Thundercats, this was just a rehearsal. When it comes to the real performance, I, Mumm-Ra, the ever-living, will star! And I will not leave the stage until I have destroyed you.
....
- Snarf: Please, fellas, let me down!
- Lion-O: Well, this is the one thing the Sword can do that we haven't recorded.
....
- Lion-O: You were great, Snarf.
- Tygra: The star of the show.
- Snarf: : That's the last time I do a comedy part.
