• Movie Goof (continuity error): When Arthur goes back to his house, he makes a cup of tea. When he drinks it, there is clearly milk in it, although he never put any in. When it vibrates along the table, it is black again.
• As the emergency escape pod crashes on Vogsphere, the sound made by it is the same as the plane from the end of 'In the Flesh' the first track on Pink Floyd's The Wall. Douglas Adams was a personal friend of Pink Floyd and even played at one of their shows.
• The fancy dress party contains several references to Douglas Adams' 40th birthday party. At the real party, Adams introduced Darwinian Evolutionist Richard Dawkins to the future Mrs Dawkins, actress Lalla Ward. In the film, Arthur is seen reading Dawkins' book, "The Selfish Gene", when he meets Tricia, who is dressed as Charles Darwin. Adams and Dawkins became very good friends after Adams received a fan letter from him.
• Oliver Postgate auditioned for the voice of the Book.
