Cryptograms

• There is a cryptogram that appears during the end credits. It reads, "NLMXQWWN IIZ LZFNF." Once decoded with the Vignère key "WHATEVS", it reads "REMEMBER BIG HENRY."
  • The keyword "WHATEVS" can be found on the castle wall, right after the golf cart dodges the giant swinging axes.
• The page fragment seen after the credits has the code "9-12-20 11-23-10 5-12-19-19-8-15-10-17 9-10 4-16-19 17-6-19-19-10, 21-23-10'4 16-19-12-8 22-3-4 1-9-10-20-19-6 1-16-23-4 16-19'5 5-19-19-10." After being put through all of the ciphers, it translates into: "OLD MAN SLEEPING ON THE GREEN, CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT HE'S SEEN."

Trivia

• The title is a pun on "The Gulf War", a war in Saudi Arabia which happened from 1990-1991.
• The Big Henry Lilliputtian was based on the American folk heroes John Henry and Big John.
