The History of Future Folk / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
The History of Future Folk / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: The people of Hondo apparently speak English. Trius's broadcast to the planet is in English, and Kevin speaks English right off the ship. The lizard assassin, however, speaks another language.

The History of Future Folk / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The History of Future Folk / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: Nils d’Aulaire and Jay Klaitz were performing in character as Future Folk for years before making a film about the characters, and early shows had them in deliberately shoddy-looking, homemade costumes including actual store-bought plastic buckets with holes cut out of them used as helmets (as opposed to the custom made but still bucket-like helmets the characters wear in the film) - the fans' costumes in the aforementioned I Am Spartacus scene look a lot like how the band themselves actually used to dress.

Somewhat unusually for this trope, the fans weren't trying to confuse the police: Trius and Kevin were scheduled to play at the bar that night, and their fans had already taken to wearing homemade Hondonian costumes to their shows.
