Trivia

• Adult Stan and Kyle, both based on and voiced by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are both modeled after them. Stan looks like Parker and Kyle looks like Stone, and they use their real voices on them without changing the pitch since the boys are now adults.
• The movie takes place 40 years after the events of "South ParQ Vaccination Special".
• Victor Chaos' last name is pronounced "Chouce" by the characters.
• Victor Chaos' cell number is 41002-66, a reference to the Season Six episode "Professor Chaos", which introduced Butters' titular alter ego, Professor Chaos. The 41002 comes from episode's air date, April 10, 2002 (the 4 representing April, the 10 representing the day, and the 02 representing 2002) and the 66 from the fact that it was the sixth episode of the sixth season.
• Some of Cartman's stuffed toys are featured:
  • Hackelm Cartman has a Clyde Frog doll attached to his pacifier.
  • Cartman is seen packing a Polly Prissypants ragdoll into his bag as he is leaving the lab with his family.
• Cartman is the only of the boys who still wears the distinctive hat, although now it is in the form of a yarmulke. He is also the only one of the four boys who is married and has his own family.
• Kenny's sister Karen is seen wearing a necklace with the question mark symbol of Mysterion as a charm on it. A similar question mark can also be seen in Kenny's lab notes.
• In a news report of Kenny's death, Kenny appears to have won a Nobel Prize in Science. In reality, there is no such category as "Science" in general, instead having three distinct fields (Physics, Chemistry, or Economic Sciences). From the diploma, Kenny is awarded in the field of Physics, "for theoretical discoveries in topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter."
  • The award is a reference to the Nobel Prize in Physics 2016, where three physicists were awarded for the above-mentioned works.
  • The medal is engraved with "MMXI" and "MDCCC", representing the Roman numerals for 2011 and 1800 respectively. This is contrary to the actual medal where it is engraved with the birth and death years of Alfred Nobel (1833-1896).
• Tweek is seen with his green coat fully buttoned.
• Strong Woman is barely visibly aged, with just some slight wrinkles under her eyes, presumably due to her healthy lifestyle.
• There are a few differences in promo clips for this special compared to the final special:
  • When Kyle calls Stan for the first time in the promo, he is seen in a counselor's office at South Park Elementary. However in the final special, he is shown calling him from Gerald's old study.
  • In another promo clip, an elderly Randy tells Stan that his next strain of marijuana is an exclusive event rather than a special, and he says this at the retirement home. In the final special, this scene occurred in Tegridy Farms.
• The "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" the catchphrase has been referenced throughout the movie. However "You bastards!" was never said at all.
• The sound effects used for Kyle's doorbells are available in the South Park Studios SoundCloud.
• Stan mentions having Jesus and Santa help them in adventures on multiple occasions.
• This is one of the few times where male frontal nudity is fully shown uncensored.
• Kenny's face is more partially revealed with his eyes being hidden behind sunglasses and a hat. When Kenny's body was shown in the morgue, majority of his face is covered by his hair and beard being fully grown out.
  • Ironically as a kid, when Kenny wore his parka, most of his face was hidden under his hood with only his eyes showing.
• On South Park Studios can be found an elderly version of Jesus Christ. Though he never actually appeared in the special.

• The Super 12 Motel Plus that Stan stays at is a reference to Super 8, an American budget hotel chain.

Goofs

• The American flag that appeared at the beginning is partially cropped at the top side, missing one stripe and a row of stars.
• When Stan, Kyle and Cartman are about to go in the morgue, Tolkien offers to stay out in the waiting room with Cartman's family. But in the very next scene, he was back at the school in Kenny's laboratory with Wendy, Craig, Tweek, Clyde, Jimmy, and Darwin.
• As Stan is being tested for the virus, a short moment is seen where the swab went through his nose.
• While the boys are in the morgue examining Kenny's corpse, Cartman is too disgusted to reach into Kenny's ass for his research and even vomits on Kenny's corpse when Stan retrieves the hard drive from his ass, covered in shit. However back in the Season Six episode "The Simpsons Already Did It", Cartman showed no signs of disgust when he dug around in Ms. Choksondik's corpse for his sea-people and even hid in it from the medical examiners.
• A poster in the school cafeteria says "MEAT", even though it has been established that meat is not eaten anymore.
• Cartman's arm could be seen through Menorah's nightgown, although she is behind him.
• Cartman is seen packing his Polly Prissypants doll even though he "killed" her in "1%". Though this may be another doll purchased for his kids.
  • This might not be an error, considering she appeared as a Facebook Friend in South Park: The Stick of Truth, three years after "1%".
• At Kenny's funeral, there is a casket present even though Kenny's body was shown in the morgue later on.

Kenny's Death

• Kenny is said to have been killed by the "Covid Delta Plus Rewards Program" variant referencing the multiple reports of new variants that came out after the "South ParQ Vaccination Special". His death serves as a major plotline.

Dubbing Changes

German

• At the start of Late Night with Jimmy, Jimmy is simply addressed by the title of "King of comedy" instead of "King of woke comedy".
• Clyde's reason for not taking the vaccination is entirely replaced, where it plays on the German word for "jaundice" (Gelbsüchtig). Along with the translated pun of "selfishness" (selbstsüchtig), these are interpreted as a portmanteau of Gelb ("yellow") and süchtig ("addiction").
