Trivia

 * when Cindy is watching the fictional Rock-a-Doodle porn parody, F*ck-a-Doodle, 3 scenes of this porn parody are seen, one where Patou and Edmond (while he's naked) are "smashing" each other, one where Chanticleer does oral sex with Goldie, and one where Chanticleer and the Grand Duke of Owls are getting it on. It is also implied that Edmond in this parody is an adult woman, although he (or she) has the same appearance as in the actual movie when he (or she) is transformed into a cat. The film is seen again when Toad and Jack (a parody of Sam Witwicky) go to the party, where there is a scene with everyone (except the background farm animals and Peepers) are having an orgy. This, along with some other scenes, are cut down/blurred in the theatrical version, after the film originally received an R rating. The scenes are restored in the Director's cut. The genderbent Edmond also appears on the poster.
 * The film was originally gonna be a spin-off, similar to Superhero Movie. Under the title of Sci-Fi Movie, but was later turned into a Scary Movie sequel, after feeling the story had too many connections to Scary Movie.
