A scene was cut from the film where JC Chasez's character ends up at a Hollywood orgy where everyone is dressed up like a dog with Eyes Wide Shut (1999)-masks and on drugs. An orchestral version of "Who Let the Dogs Out" sung in the style of a Meatloaf ballad was set to accompany it.
In Chloe's dressing room, there is a poster for "Lease," a spin on "Rent." Also, was spoofed the same way in Team America : Police du monde (2004).
