- Arnold is not at Apex Mountain here.
- Rae Dawn Chong is at Apex Mountain because this is what she is known for; she should have been bigger.
- Alyssa Milano is a no; the debate is whether her apex is Who's the Boss or Charmed, which airs all morning on TNT ('T&T' in the transcript), with Melrose Place also mentioned.
- Bill Duke is a no.
- For Vernon Wells, among Mad Max, Weird Science and this movie, this is probably the one people reference.
- Creem magazine is a no; mid-80s yellow Porsches are a yes, as this is probably their best use.
- Dan Hedaya is definitely not; missile launchers and bazookas are a yes as the first one that comes to mind.
- The Harold Lloyd Estate is a no because of Beverly Hills Cop; Val Verde, a fictional country made for this movie, is a yes.
- Bennett's chain mail is volunteered for Apex Mountain along with his physique; he lacks muscle for a fistfight with Arnold, possibly wearing slim-fit chain mail, and looks like he needs more steroids.
- The wardrobe choice is blamed on 1985 cocaine; his thin arms are distracting in the fight.
- Still, Bennett is one of Arnold's toughest movie enemies and blew a 10-point lead by not simply killing him.
