* As [[w:John_Chambers|John Chambers]] ([[w:John_Goodman|John Goodman]]) and another colleague walk to their production office for the fake movie ''[[w:Canadian_Caper|Argo]]'', four actors are outside of the Burbank Studios Producer's Building near or sitting upon a bench on a break: two extras standing in Centurion costumes, one seated extra in a Command Centurion costume, and one seated performer in a Colonial Warrior [[battle suit]] costume, with their helmets off but nearby.
** The "[[w:Canadian_Caper|Canadian Caper]]" took place in September 1979 through January 1980, after the [[Original Series]] had wrapped production. As such, this scene is a bit of an anomaly, but could be attributed to said performers filming for ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' or being [[Universal Studios]] park "Streetmosphere" walk-arounds, both making use of costumes from the cancelled series.
* In the same scene, a close-up of two Centurion helmets on the bench are given a close-up before panning left two their owners.
