Trivia[]

  • The idea of movie spoofs came to mind when Chris Seavor came up with the Haybot fight, he said they could sneak in a Terminator parody in there. From then on, movie spoofs were all over the place and a key part of the game.
  • Louise Ridgeway has said that she's a huge movie geek, so working on Conker's Bad Fur Day was right up her street, along with the twisted and sick sense of humour. Louise loves horror movies especially, also noted that she animated the cutscenes where it parodies Saving Private Ryan and she said that she had nightmares for weeks of squirrels being set on fire as a result.
  • The music also has similarities to movie cues and films including The Matrix, Jaws, The Terminator. The song "Funeral Of Queen Mary" by Henry Purcell was added in the opening cutscene (arranged by Robin Beanland). The same piece of music used during the opening to A Clockwork Orange.
  • Robin Beanland also had musical cues inspired by Carl Stalling (responsible for a lot of musical work on Looney Tunes), an example of this is when Conker bounces off the walls after making the large T-Rex head sneeze, the music reflects Conker's movements with a xylophone. Another example of music probably parodying Golden Age cartoons is when Conker gets drunk in the boiler room. The music is a hilariously slurred arrangement of the "Windy" theme with a lead trombone, accompanied by a clarinet and strings, possibly referencing any cartoons like Tom and Jerry or Looney Tunes whenever somebody gets drunk.
