After Max and Zack enter a dance contest, the twins tell Max she's "better than the girl in the Missy Elliot video." However, Alyson Stoner, who plays Max, was "the girl" in that video.
The episode's title is a reference to the film "Footloose."
As Carey and Max yell at the twins' Max calls Cody Harry Stupidini--a parody of the late magician Harry Houdini.
