** As mentioned, a young Creator/GeorgeClooney appears in the second film, in the role of the hero's horndog best friend. In one scene, he is found running a fake "Win a date with Rob Lowe" contest to trick attractive young women into going out with him. Naturally, this scene is now hysterically funny for a dozen reasons nobody involved could have imagined.
** In another scene the director stops the movie to announce they're out of money until George (seated away from the rest of the cast near some hot girls) casually suggests they do product placement to make up the difference. The whole thing oddly predicts George's rise to leading-man heartthrob fame while the actor playing the hero gets no respect.

** A plot point in ''Return'' is pizzerias having to use disgusting-looking substitutes for tomato puree such as chocolate spread and peanut butter, often with equally bizarre toppings. Fast-forward to the present day, with gourmet pizzas that feature unusual combinations of toppings, and even "dessert pizzas" being available even in supermarkets, the pizzas seen in the movie seem... admittedly as horrible as ever, but more because of the unappealing combinations of ingredients rather than the entire concept being completely ridiculous.
