Trivia:
- When Huey goes to take his Black Power Glove out of it's safe, he enters the code of "67291". From 1967 to 1992, Thurgood Marshall sat on the Supreme Court.
- When Huey and Riley are fighting and Huey gets his sword blade on Riley’s neck, we see Huey smile. This is the first time we see him smile.
- Bushido Jones is based on Jim Kelly from Kung Fu Movies like Enter the Dragon and Black Belt Jones.
- "You come straight out of a comic strip," is a reference to Enter the Dragon and The Boondocks (comic strip) itself.
- Gin Rummy says to Riley "It's not wise to upset a Wuncler" after both Ed III and Riley are arguing over the former's loss in the video game. This is a reference to the line: "It's not wise to upset a Wookiee" from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope quoted by Han Solo after R2-D2 defeats Chewbacca in a match of chess.
