* HarsherInHindsight: In this movie, Creator/AndyDick plays a man who wants to destroy Hannukah and Kwanzaa partly out of [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain contempt for black people and Jews]]. Dick would go on to cause controversy by calling his audience "a bunch of niggers" in 2006, then by making antisemitic comments about Creator/HowardStern in 2011.

Which, given its status as an AffectionateParody of {{Blaxploitation}} movies, makes a fair amount of sense.
