Trivia

Another reference to the original cartoon: the name "Shoeshine" refers to Underdog's secret identity as the shoeshine boy.

General Mills breakfast cereal products are seen in the Unger household. The Underdog (1964) cartoon series was created by General Mills' ad agency to help promote their products.

"Bar Sinister" is a heraldic term - a bar slanting to the left on a coat of arms signifying "bastard".

Goofs

The dog that they use for barking at the mailman is obviously not the one that is used in (most) of the rest of the movie. If you look closely at the patterning around the face, you'll see that on the barking dog's left cheek, the brown mark doesn't touch the lip, whereas the "main" dog's brown mark does. Also the barking dog has a softer outline.

The original sweater that Jack gives Underdog is knit with a stitched in "U". When Polly calls Underdog, we can see that his sweater is no longer knit, and the "U" has an orange outline and is not stitched to the sweater.

Underdog catches on fire upon re-entering the earth's atmosphere, yet his sweater and cape go unscathed.
