Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: The gate guard at Hollywood Studios is played by the actor who was "Oddjob" in ''[[Goldfinger]]'', and at one point he throws his hat.
* [[Acting for Two]]: Jittlov is not only the Wizard in the "Speed" segment, but the judge who gave the Wizard a score of 9.7.
** He's also the torch-carrier.
** In the stunt driving shots from the car-chase scene, Pluto, the police dog in the back seat, was played by Jittlov wearing a coat over his head.
** And then there's veteran Hollywood voice actor [[Will Ryan]] as the representatives of every union/guild Mike tries to join.
* [[Credits Gag]]: Several.
** The opening credits read "Directed By The Man In The Green Jacket". Mike Jittlov wears a [[Memetic Outfit|green jacket]] throughout the film.
** [[Mike Jittlov]] is credited as being played by "The Wizard". The Wizard is credited as [[Character as Himself|"himself"]].
* [[Digital Piracy Is Okay]]: The only official releases of ''The Wizard of Speed and Time'' were on laserdisc and VHS circa 1989-1990 (from which Jittlov received little or no royalties). However, there is an ISO image of a simple DVD version of the film floating about in torrent and other forms on the Net, the use and distribution of which Jittlov encourages and endorses.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [[Miami Vice|Tubbs]] is a cop. ([[Philip Michael Thomas]] in fact owes his role in ''[[Miami Vice]]'' to this film, which was originally shot in 1983. When asked by producers if he had ever played a police officer, he replied "Yes, I was a cop in a feature film." Which got him the job.)
** [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Shahna]] is
** That guy with the mustache at the garage sale? [[Forrest J. Ackerman]].
** All the Hollywood union guys are the same man -- veteran voice artist [[Will Ryan]].
Line 11 ⟶ 17:
** The IRS Chief is Ward Kimball, one of [[Disney]]'s "Nine Old Men".
** Steve Shostakovich is veteran composer [[John Massari]].
** [[Goldfinger|Oddjob]] is a studio gate guard, who throws his hat in frustration.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: [[Mike Jittlov]]'s mother and brother appear as themselves.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In Angelique Pettyjohn's scene as Dora Belair, the assistant to the producer of the ''Dr. Magic'' movie, there is a poster on the wall of her in-costume as her cult favorite ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' character, Shahna from the episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion".
