Trivia:

The Big Giant Head talks about the dreadful experience he had aboard an airplane, whereupon Dick exclaims, "So did I!" This is an inside joke about the "The Twilight Zone" (1959) episode "The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (#5.3)" (1963)_. William Shatner played the lead role in that episode of the 1959 TV series and John Lithgow played the lead role in that story in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983).

Quotes:

Sally Solomon: So how was your trip, sir?
The Big Giant Head: Horrifying, at first. I looked out the window and... I saw something on the side of the plane.
Dr. Dick Solomon: The same thing happened to me!
