Irwin is watching a Sassy Cat commercial. Billy knocks on the window and Irwin quickly hides behind the couch. Billy wants him and Irwin to watch a monster movie, but Irwin says that his Mom doesn't let him watch monster movies. So Billy gets an idea: For Irwin to sneak out and go with Billy to Mandy's house and watch that monster movie in Mandy's new plasma TV!

Mandy and Grim are watching TV when the doorbell rings. "Grim. Door. Now", orders Mandy. Billy and Irwin come in

[edit] Cultural References

  • Fred uses his feet to drive a stolen car, just as he does in The Flintstones.
  • 4 Japanese monsters as well as one American monster are spoofed in Giant Billy and Mandy All-Out Attack. Cragerah is Gamera, Kittyra is King Ghidorah, Billy turns into what looks like Ultraman, Gorillasaur is King Kong, and MechaGorillasaur is Mecha-Kong.
  • In Giant Billy and Mandy All-Out Attack, the movie Kill Bill is referenced several times.
  • When Mandy arrives in Japan, she is dressed in a yellow jumpsuit, similar to that worn by The Bride (which is itself a reference to Bruce Lee's outfit worn in the film Game of Death). She then takes out a list, crossing out Mindy, leaving Billy, Irwin and Grim. Finally, the red closeup on Mandy's face mimics that of The Bride, with a similar rendition of Quincy Jones's Ironside and the screen turning red.
  • In Modern Primitives, Grim, Billy, Mandy, and Irwin used Grim's scythe to fly in front of the moon on Irwin's bike, parodying the bike-flying scene from E.T.. Billy makes sure we notice the connection by mentioning it.
  • In Giant Billy and Mandy All-Out Attack, Mandy runs Irwin over, driving Kaneda's bike from the anime movie classic, Akira. This marks the second time Mandy rode the same red motorcycle since Hog Wild.
  • Pud'n's report about Captain Deadwood the Heartless is based on the events from Billy Ocean.
  • In Modern Primitives, Fred only says "Fred Flintstone|Yabba-Dabba-Doo!]]", but he did say one English word "Fred". He usually says "Yabba dabba!" instead of "Yabba dabba doo!", especially when he gets really riled up.
  • At the end of Modern Primitives, Mandy says: "What a waste of an episode", breaking the fourth wall.
  • "Kittyra" is a spoof of King Ghidorah, the three-headed dragon. Kittyra is a three-headed cat.
  • Cragerah's description of himself as "Friend of All Children" is identical to the title given to Gamera in the original series of Gamera films, where Gamera often rescued children in need from giant monsters and aliens.
  • Ms. Butterbeen tells Fred she wants 2.5 children. It's a reference the average size of an American family.

[edit] Goofs

  • When Mandy demands that Grim open the door for Billy & Irwin, he walks down the hallway instead of going to the front door which is right next to the couch Mandy is sitting on.
