My favorite obscure reference was when the Animaniacs helped Lincoln out with the the Gettysburg Address. Poor Abe could not come up with a good opening line. "“Friends , Romans, Countrymen…’ no, no, ‘I am a jelly donut’ no, no…” That just cracked me up.

Abu Dhabi and San Juan aren’t sovereign nations, they’re cities within them. I’m pretty sure I heard a few other cities in there too.

There have been so many disappointing sequels and remakes lately that I’m already skeptical.
