Sailor Star Fighter's attack Star Serious Laser had a new animation sequence in this episode.
The movie playing on the airplane was the same movie the Three Lights were filming back in Shiryo no sakebi? Kyofu kyampu no kaijin (1996), just five episodes earlier.
This episode marked the first appearance of Sailor Tin Nyanko and the last appearance of Sailor Aluminum Seiren.
In the manga, Makoto mentioned that her parents died in a plane crash and that she was afraid of airplanes. However, that does not appear to be true in the anime, as she was able to board one without fear in this episode.
