- Actor Allusion: When Boomer saves the President from a misfired bazooka, he says that he would have voted for him if his cable repair man wasn't late. A running gag in a previous John Candy film Delirious was his character running late due to a cable repair man.
- Creator's Oddball: This is Michael Moore's only fictional film.
- Fake American: Canadian John Candy plays an American sheriff spearheading the latter nation's efforts to invade the former.
- Irony As He Is Cast: The Canadian-hating Bud Boomer is played by Canadian actor John Candy
- The Shelf of Movie Languishment: Shot in 1993 and intended to be released by MGM, the film finally opened in 1995 with Gramercy Pictures as distributor (ironically, MGM got the rights back when they acquired the pre-1996 Polygram library).
