* FridgeLogic: In the first sequel (and animated series), Wilbur is trying odd replacements for tomato sauce, and usually failing miserably. Why didn't he just sell white pizza, a real-life variety which uses cheese (usually ricotta) in place of the tomato sauce?

** 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.

** Probably the biggest example is in the second film, where a bunch of [[CoolVersusAwesome cowboys and ninjas]] randomly burst into Finletter's Pizza shop and fight, only to be shooed away by George Clooney about a minute later.

** As mentioned, a young GeorgeClooney appears in the second film, in the role of the heros 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.

* Old Shame: Subverted. You'd think GeorgeClooney would be embarrassed by ReturnOfTheKillerTomatoes, but he's if not proud of his role, is more than willing to discuss it whenever it's brought up, as he loved working with [[TheAddamsFamily John Astin]], and by most accounts it was a fun shoot.
