I think the "Minion of Satan" was supposed to be a charicature of Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine of Star Wars. Anyone else have any informationon that? --Tom S.
I don't know who thought he was Palpatine, but it is clearly Grima Wormtongue. Also, the comment that the Lord of The Rings comment made by the angel is a joke about computer graphics? How? Perhaps it commenting on the entire heavenly battle being a parody of the final battle in The Return of the King? I'm going to remove the comments without reference until someone can justify them; it seems like simple conjecture to me.-- The Grza 04:50, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
I understand that the final battle being removed was a joke, but connect it to computer graphics for me. The show simply doesn't show it but never mentions or even references computer graphics as the basis for the joke, and there is never any mention or reference to difference in production budgets and sophistication similarly as the basis for the joke. Please provide some actual evidence besides a personal unsubstantiated view.-- The Grza 12:11, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Are you 100% sure that "Kevin" was Wormtongue and was not at all influenced by Palpatine? When researching on the internet, it seems that half the viewers say Wormtongue and the other half say Palpatine/Emperor. Has there been a definitive statement by Trey or Matt? Sometimes they use more than one source/movie/idea for anything on the show. It is obvious that there is at least a small Star Wars influence on this episode (when the angel says "There is another..." and when Satan destroyed Kevin in a Force-lightning-esque attack, even though it did come from his eyes). Just food for thought. In my opinion, he he sounds like Wormtongue but looks like the Emperor (and has a Darth Sidious like scheming method). I'd love to hear something official from the creators. This one's bugging me! :)
I'm sorry but I can't seem to find how to open another 'topic' (first time I'm doing this) But I want to point out that when discussing the battle plan statutues of 'God' can be seen as in the episode where God appeared on Christmas as a a really ugly thing. Just thought it was funny to make another referal to that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.198.168.67 ( talk) 09:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone have references for the (very biased) "anti-climactic" claim in the Ending section? I think it would be better to remove it. -- ElTchanggo 01:22, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree. "as the buildup had the potential to be one of South Park's most memorable moments" I doubt one of South Park's most memorable moments would have been a battle. The memorable aspect with always be its contraversial nature, with this episode and all the others. If its not removed, I at least vote for the above line to be changed.

I remember watching Surf Ninjas (starring two main leads and other somewhat famous but struggling actors Leslie Nielsen and Rob Schneider) when I was a little kid, but most likely forgot the parts. Recently, I read over info and realized that, like many older New Line Cinema productions (and/or distributions) despite distributed hits over recent years such as The Lord of the Rings (film) trilogy and Wedding Crashers, this is critically and commercially panned. As for this episode, I saw only the ending, not the rest (unless I read the summary and/or transcript). Here are some possible comparisons:
This Episode ----- Surf Ninjas
PlayStation Portable ---
Sega Game Gear
Angels ----- Native (or another ethnic group) Islanders
Satan ----- Some bad guy who wanted to take over an island
Satan's army ----- Bad guy's army
Hell-and-heaven's battle ----- Battle between invaders and natives
Kenny ----- The lead kid who turned to be a lost prince and liked using Game Gear
There were lots of differences below:
While Kenny played the (supposedly) portable game to control the armies, (I think) the kid used Game Gear on his brother (or friend) for kung-fu martial fights and a fight against the main bad guy.
I'll go for more. Agree with the info above? Your comments, please. -- 69.227.173.21 20:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Is the second last note in "Other Notables" Vandalism? Or is it justbadly worded, cause I can't make sense of it. JQF 03:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Should we be spoiling the ending of Ender's Game in a South Park episode article?
I always thought Heaven vs. Hell was a strategy game. By no stretch of the imagination do you lead armies in Diablo or World of Warcraft. SAlpsu 23:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm the information about Kevin Martin? "As the adviser dies, he morphs for a few brief frames into a bespectacled character strongly reminiscent of FCC chairman Kevin Martin." I can not see it in my copy of an episode. Is it a joke? Lantios 14:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Is this the first episode that actually deals with Kenny after his death? Because this seems to be the only one that stretches his death out. 24.118.156.127 02:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Unless you count Bigger Longer and Uncut, I think it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.42.139 ( talk) 19:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
If this is the source of the abbreviation BFF, or whatever -- the article should say so.- 69.87.200.99 20:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
The BFF necklaces are considered as real as a legal document. Does this happen for real? Stat-ist-ikk ( talk) 22:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
That's a joke, son. —Preceding

In this episode, St. Peter is seen as a human at the gates of Heaven. However, in the later episode Fantastic Easter Special it is revealed that St. Peter was actually a rabbit. this should be removed. south park does not rely on continuity between episodes, save for major characters. (such as mr garrisons sex change)
I belive the first scene of satan's army, where they put on their armor and Satan rallies them is an obvious reference to LOTR: The fellowship of the ring, in the scene where Saruman's army is assembled. One of Satan's minions are given a sword and cries a loud roar, just like in the movies. Satan's and Saruman's speaches are also very similar. Furthermore, Satan views his army through a magic ball, like the one Saruman had. Does anyone else notice this? My English is awful, as I am Norwegian and 17 years old, so I'll leave it to someone else to enter it in the article. :)
In Dogma (film), God is held incapacitated by keeping her incarnation in comatose state, so that she cannot return to heaven and back in command. Resolution is achieved by letting him (the avatar) die.

When they hail the holy PSP, it seems reminiscent of the hailing done of the atom bomb in the second Planet of the Apes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO ( talk • contribs) 23:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I find the reference to Ender's Game to be coincidental. The game was secretly a test to find kenny, an obvious reference to The Last Starfighter. But Kenny doesn't save the world under the "guise" of a game; the situation is explained to him, that the game controller would give orders to the forces. I recall no phrases or images in the episode that suggest a relationship to Ender's Game. Taking South Park Seriously is used as a reference for the relation, but a Google Book search does not find any instances of the words "ender's", "enders", "starfighter", or "star fighter" in the book. - Verdatum ( talk) 23:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
