Trivia
The drunk guy on the phone in the year 2000 when Bender arrives to kill Fry is the cryogenicist seen at the end of Season 5's Jurassic Bark (2002), complaining about his hangover from the night before.

Goofs
Only the male of the Narwhal whale species has a tusk. Leelu is a female. However, it is a very rare case when female Narwhals have tusks, which was referenced as Leelu being a "rare horned female narwhal."

Quotes
Professor Farnsworth: Yes? I see.
[hangs up phone]
Professor Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! Those asinine morons who canceled us were themselves fired for incompetence.
[the crew cheers]
Professor Farnsworth: And not just fired, but beaten up, too... and pretty badly.
[the crew cheers doubtfully]
Professor Farnsworth: In fact, most of them died from their injuries.
[the crew remains silent while Bender laughs evilly]
Professor Farnsworth: And then they were ground up into a fine pink powder.
Fry: Why?
Professor Farnsworth: Oh, it's got a million and one uses.
[Takes some Torgo's Powder and sprinkles it in his pants]
Professor Farnsworth: Aw, that soothes the fire.
Leela: [referring to both the numerous air conditioners and the admirers of Futurama] So what does this mean for us and our many fans?
Professor Farnsworth: It means we're back on the air!
[the crew is still silent]
Professor Farnsworth: Yes, flying on the air in our mighty spaceship!
[the crew cheers wildly]
Bender: We're back, baby!

Alternate versions
This direct-to-DVD movie was the 1st of 4 to be released after the tv series was cancelled at the end of season 5. When the series was to be revived on a different network, this movie was split into 4 parts, each part equal to the usual length of a tv episode, and shown first as season 6 episodes 1 through 4. The other 3 movies were also similarly split and formed the remainder of season 6, 16 episodes in all. Finally, the new episodes made specifically for tv followed as season 7. This practice was identically used for later tv syndication and streaming services such as Hulu.

Much better than the Simpson movie

This movie is just great. It proves again that cancelling the TV show was a big mistake. In the world of Futurama there are simply much more possibilities and ideas than in the Simpsons world, which has gotten a little bit too boring over the last years. That's probably because you can bring more ideas to life in the future, where practically everything is possible. Even for people who didn't like the TV show it's a fun ride, it's worth watching it just to hear Bender's remarks. Sure, The Simpsons Movie was funny at some parts, but I've just watched too many episodes of this show to go to the cinema only to see another, longer, episode. Anyways, Bender's Big Score is a great movie, and thanks to the developers for their effort to bring us Futurama back! I give it a good 9 out of 10.
