 The scene in which Kork and Spuck attempt to beam off the "Surprise" by stepping onto several lighted numbered floor panels, is a reference to the German TV children's game show "Eins, Zwei oder Drei" (the German version of "Runaround").The panels are part of a triple-choice quiz system, and any children who stand on the correct panel (i.e.with the number of the correct answer) may collect points for their respective team.
