Behind the scenes[]

  • This episode follows up to "My Big Fat Spy Wedding" as a sequel.
  • This episode is easily a spoof of the James Bond films, who is mentioned in the opening song.
  • This is the only episode not to use the regular end credits song.
  • This episode is Betty Quinlan's second official appearance in the show.
  • The locker Jimmy falls into opens on the wrong side.
  • When Jimmy says "Then you got yourself a spy!", the captions read "Then I'm your spy!".
  • Sheen claiming to have met Ultra Lord in person and Jimmy pointing out it was just a guy in a costume is a callback to the scene in the movie when he, Jimmy, Carl, and Nick snuck out to go to Retroland.
    • Jimmy also mentions that his parents told him not to talk to strangers, which is another callback to the movie.
  • Even though this is before the Valentine's Day episode, Sheen says Libby will be jealous when he jokes about marrying Beautiful Gorgeous. This hints that Sheen has always loved Libby. This was first hinted during "Party at Neutron's" and then in "Beach Party Mummy".
  • This is the first episode where characters briefly flirt with a villain. The second time will be "Billion Dollar Boy", where Cindy and Libby briefly flirted with Eustace Strych.
  • This is the first time Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen briefly flirt with a female. The second time is "Foul Bull".
  • During the opening credits, there are some senses.
  • The four people working for BTSO in the conference room all look exactly the same.
  • Sheen gets a major destiny, as the "Chosen One" because he fulfilled the prophecy of the "one who puts his leg behind back".
  • During the introduction, we see some stock footage from other episodes. They include a closeup of Britney singing and opening her mouth as the camera zooms in (as seen on "Broadcast Blues"), Jimmy and Betty dancing together (as seen on "Party at Neutron's"), and Jimmy in a tuxedo à la Hugh Hefner (as seen on the upcoming episode "Love Potion 976/J").
  • This episode was actually produced the same time as "Love Potion 976/J" (along with "A Beautiful Mine", "Sorry, Wrong Era", and "Holly Jolly Jimmy") because in the opening intro, it had some scenes from that episode.
  • The Jet Fusion movie Die Again Tomorrow Forever is a pun on the James Bond movies Die Another Day and Diamonds Are Forever.
  • When Professor Calamitous sings "I'm so glad we had this time together..." and he tugs on his ear, it is a reference to what Carol Burnett did at the end of each episode of The Carol Burnett Show.
  • When Jimmy approaches the tracking device in the ocean, we see a pineapple in the background as a SpongeBob SquarePants cameo.
  • This episode ended up in 44th place in the "Top 100 Greatest Moments In Nicktoon History".
  • Carl said Sheen was held back in school, Sheen states he was held back twice.
  • The book The Spy Who Was Me is based on this episode.
  • Goddard only appears at the very end of the episode at the final shot, sitting next to Jimmy when he says, "A kid can dream, can't he?". It's unknown why he didn't join Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen on the mission.
  • After a response of Beautiful Gorgeous, Jet said "Doh!" which is a reference to Homer Simpson's catchphrase.
  • This is the second time Christian Slater and Tim Curry did voiceover work together. They first worked on the animated feature Ferngully: The Last Rainforest.
  • This is the first episode to not have the theme song. However, the Nickelodeon logo appears while the instrumental version of the theme song plays short and Jimmy saying his catchphrase "Gotta Blast!" at the end.
  • This is the first appearances of Jet Fusion, Beautiful Gorgeous, and Commander Baker.
  • Jet's catchphrase, "Gotta Jet!", is a play on one of Jimmy's catchphrases, "Gotta Blast!"
  • A video game adaptation of this episode was made for PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance.
  • When Jimmy locates Jet Fusion's tracking device he says it's in the Pacific, but the coordinates (particularly the 90ºN part) are that of the North Pole.
  • This is the only episode released on VHS to feature Beautiful Gorgeous, Jet Fusion, and Commander Baker, as well to feature Betty Quinlan officially, not counting her cameo appearances in "Attack of the Twonkies" and Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide!.
