==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Sad's costume in the Catacombs is a [[wikipedia:Motion capture#Optical: Passive Markers|passive optical marker motion capture suit]], or at least an approximation of one. It is similar to the "motion capture suit" worn by [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Sample Of Style Too]].
*Dangeresque Too's answer when asked about the trinket ("The doctor is his MOTHER!") is the solution to a [[wikipedia:Situation puzzle|lateral-thinking conundrum]]. The conundrum goes "a boy and his father stalled their car on a set of train tracks. A train hit the car, killing the father and wounding the boy. When the boy was taken to the hospital, the doctor on duty exclaimed "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!" How can this be?"
*A "romcom" is a [[wikipedia:Romantic comedy|romantic comedy]].
*"Post", mentioned when Dangeresque first meets the monster in the catacombs, refers to [[wikipedia:Post-production|post-production]].
*Pick-ups are minor shots filmed during post-production in order to augment footage already filmed.
*The Irish Informant's name, Cecil van Gough, combines Cecil, a common first name in Ireland, with [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]], an artist &mdash; which makes his job as an art critic unsurprising.
*The Tokyo Informant's name, Stoolie Rat Weasel, is a hint. A stoolie (stool pigeon) is an informant, rat is also informally used to mean an informant, and weasel is informally used to mean a deceitful person. (The presence of Perducci's bullet in Tokyo is also a hint, among other things.)
*An "[[Wikipedia:Uzi|Uzi]]" is a type of submachine gun, and a "[[Wikipedia:Bazooka|bazooka]]" is a type of rocket launcher.

===Trivia===
*This is the first episode of SBCG4AP where the House of Strong cannot be navigated, and it is the first episode not to have a [[Teen Girl Squad]] comic.
*This is also the first SBCG4AP in which [[Mike Chapman]] does a voice, namely the voice of Craig.
*If he catches her during the stand-off on the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, Uzi Bazooka calls Cutesy Buttons "[[Missy Palmer|Missy]]".
*A blooper from this game of Bubs' line "Oh, you know him more than you know that you know that you know... him... or somethin'." was put on the website as [[Quote of the Week]] on 11th September 2008, just over two months before the game's release.
*Strong Bad had said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would be in 3D. However, it was depicted as an [[Wikipedia:anaglyph image|anaglyph image]] rather than a [[Wikipedia:computer generated image|computer generated image]].
*The end credits for the movie itself read:
<blockquote>
Written and directed by Strong Bad<br>
<br>
Dangeresque -- Strong Bad<br>
Dangeresque Too -- Homestar Runner<br>
DADgeresque - Senor Cardgage<br>

</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*If the preview is watched following the end credits of [[Baddest of the Bands]], The Stick appears in the background behind Bubs' stand, still covered in toilet paper. Watching the preview from the main menu, however, does not show The Stick at all.
*Strong Bad's nunchuck gun is a revolver. Revolvers don't "jam". 
*It took Strong Bad over 4 1/2 years to complete this "blockbuster", as [[dangeresque 3]] marked the 114th day of production.
*In the tutorial for this episode, Strong Bad wears the Dangeresque shades throughout most of it, taking them off at Bubs' Concession Stand.
*The smoky office has the shark pond and picket fence just outside the window, suggesting it should be located in the center of the Field, probably behind the camera as Strong Bad walks around. However, shots across the Field, over characters' shoulders, show nothing there.
*When the monster is revealed in the catacombs, Strong Bad says "Holy Cra," but after the pause, he says "-rap." So he said "Holy Crarap."
*The King of Town, against his word in his last line in the film as Perducci, does not attend the premiere.
*All of the "exotic locales" at the stone bridge are cities except for "Ireland", a country.

===Goofs===
*When you select the podium in Ireland and Strong Bad starts talking about how he busted up a ring of counterfeit three-leaf-thousand dollar bills, the subtitles say "butsed" instead of "busted".
*The [[Lappy 486]] has a black outline in this episode, instead of it being colored as in every other appearance.
*If you look out the window after Cutesy Buttons gets kidnapped, the video of Marzipan watching Credenza in the shark pond will play, except without the animation of Marzipan. Afterward, her filler lines will play even though she is not present.
*In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there.
*The "Renaldo Fun Sheets" is actually a pillowcase.
*In the opening to the car chase scene, as Strong Bad speaks the line "Make it snappy, Yellow 5!", The Cheat runs backwards twice without returning to the front in between. This is because the game loads the following scene involving Strong Mad when the first scene just had The Cheat and the car.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) checks emails, his trademark glasses are not visible in his reflection on the Lappy's screen.  Occasionally, Strong Bad's reflection will not appear at all.
*Experimento's list of ingredients on the black board calls for a "bubbly drink", but characters always read it as "bubbly liquid".
*Though the characters always refer to Experimento as being a Professor, the mouse-over text for him calls him Doctor.
*Look at the chair in the night time dream sequence office, and Dangeresque will comment on how you can "see [his] butt print worn on the chair." However, the subtitles misspell butt as but.
*After telling Sultry Buttons he'll shower her with jewels, Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) says "...I'm never gonna go" but the subtitles read "...I'm never going to go to".
*In the ending scene in the basement, Marzipan does not say "required", but the subtitles include the word.
*One of the emails will remain labeled as "unread" even after Strong Bad reads it.
*If you go directly to Venice after the car chase scene without going to Experimento's lab, and talk to the informant, Sultry Buttons will be an option even though Dangeresque doesn't know about her being a jewel thief yet.
*If you play the Ace of Spaces on Perducci whilst holding the rock, Perducci will somehow pull ''another'' rock. You will have the opportunity to grab it, but you will not gain another rock nor lose the one you already had.

====PC Version====
*According to [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=100539&postcount=9 a thread on the Telltale Games forums], the PC version misses one costume item (the "big hair"). This is due to an oversight, as the costume item was enabled on default in the Wii version, but not on the PC version.

====Wii Version====
*The manual page in the catacombs area is unobtainable in extended play.
*In extended play mode, the rollover for Cutesy Buttons reads "Cutest Buttons".
*The Informant says there are four of them altogether, but the text reads "all together"
*If you use the oil slick 2 times, every time you use a voice command, Killingyouguy (Strong Mad) will regain his balance even though there is no oil to slip on. This can be undone by grabbing the sawmerang (which can be obtained by using the voice commands).

===Glitches===
*On occasion, the moving objects in [[Space Circus Catastrophe]] will disappear.
*Sometimes, Dangeresque's nunchuck gun will appear floating in Venice.
*The metal detector reacts at every world location, but Perducci's bullet can only be found at Tokyo (in standard play) and Venice (in extended play). In addition, it continues to react even after Perducci's bullet has been found.
*If the cereal box was acquired from the Stick during standard play, the extra can of Diet Brown on the table in the Office during extended play simply vanishes shortly after Strong Bad's introduction.
*The disk box is missing from the Secret Lab during extended play.
*Clicking the window right after retrieving Credenza causes Marzipan to continue speaking (i.e. "Hang in there Credenza!"), which continues even after she leaves.
*At most times, the buttons located at the top of the screen will move up and stay there making the player unable to pull up the map or inventory or snappy or main menu even by pressing the hot key. This glitch can be fixed if there is an exit located at the map. If not, then the player needs to reset the game.
*When asleep in Extended Play, looking at the chair in the [[Smoky Office]] will afterwards cause Dangeresque's glasses to appear on him again, even if the player had changed Dangeresque's costume.
*Sometimes for some unknown reason on the PC version of the game, at the very beginning when Dangeresque pulls out the diamond, the computer will restart.
*Sometimes when freeing Renaldo in extended play, the costume items Strong Bad is wearing will hover in the air. Then, when it cuts back to Strong Bad, he will be wearing a second pair of Dangeresque glasses. This can be fixed by leaving the sun base.
*If you pour the formula on The Stick to make the cereal box appear and then reload The Field without picking it up, the cereal box will appear floating over the Shark Pond.
*In the car chase scene, sometimes when you cut to Killingyouguy after attacking him, the tree will keep moving without The Cheat carrying it.
*In the PS3 version, the on-screen instructions for Space Circus Catastrophe state that the Square button will launch a rescue bubble.  In actuality, the Circle button launches the bubble, and the Square button launches a bomb.
*Rarely, the game will lose its previous "position" in the GPSTD (map) when it is next opened.  This can allow access to locations that are not supposed to be available yet, such as the Space Station at the very beginning of the game.

===Inside References===

*The "time card" in Perducci's game is for ''Embarrassing Idol'', one of the shows being filmed at the TV studio in [[Wikipedia:Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam and Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]].  The card itself comes from [[Wikipedia:Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam and Max Episode 204: Chariot of the Dogs]].
**If you use the phone in Dangeresque's office, one of the responses involves Dangeresque getting a call from the Commissioner, asking him to do something "to a rabbit", and Dangeresque telling him "You got the wrong number", another reference to the ''Sam and Max'' franchise: the Freelance Police received most of their assignments over the phone from "the Commissioner".
**One of the backgrounds in the Snap Shak is for Sam & Max's office building and Bosco's Inconvenience Store.

*The Purple Nose of Cairo that Sultry Buttons steals in Cairo references the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Purple_Rose_of_Cairo|The Purple Rose of Cairo]]''.
*Dangeresque attempts to disable the drill in the sun base by attacking it with the "Four Fingered Exploding Fist of the Lotus Knuckle" maneuver, similar to the "Five Point Exploding Heart Technique" used by The Bride to kill Bill in the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Kill Bill|Kill Bill]]''.
*When Dadgeresque dies, Dangeresque responds by stringing together the names of a bunch of sappy love songs - specifically [[Wikipedia:Bette Midler|Bette Midler's]] "[[Wikipedia:Wind Beneath My Wings|Wind Beneath My Wings]]" and the [[Wikipedia:The Carpenters|Carpenters']] "[[Wikipedia:We've Only Just Begun|We've Only Just Begun]]" - but ends randomly with [[Wikipedia:Cyndi Lauper|Cyndi Lauper's]] "[[Wikipedia:She Bop|She Bop]]".
*When Dangeresque finds the third manual page (in Strong Borneo), he remarks that the map of the solar system is "out of date". This is likely a reference to the fact that [[Wikipedia:Pluto|Pluto]], which appears on the map, is no longer classified as a planet.
*Strong Bad calls Uzi Bazooka "[[Wikipedia:Trader Joe's|Traitor Joe]]".
*Strong Bad saying that the paintings in the office "belong in a museum!" is a reference to [[George Lucas]]' ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones franchise|Indiana Jones]]'' film series.

**Strong Bad saying "Ahh, Venice!" may also be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]''.
**Uzi Bazooka shoots Dadgeresque in a manner very similar to when Indiana Jones's father is shot in ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade''.
*When Dangeresque aims his gun at Uzi Bazooka after Dadgeresque is killed, he rather embellishes on a quote from ''[[Wikipedia:The Princess Bride|The Princess Bride]]''.
