As if nailing the fact that VII was a giant apology wasn't enough, The Simpsons also knew what movie would open alongside it in this episode from 2009.
McBain, the Simpsons' Schwarzenegger/Willis parody, used the same bad ice puns that Schwarzenegger does in the 1997 Batman and Robin, only McBain did it 4 years earlier.
In 2003, Roy of Siegfried and Roy was famously attacked on stage by his white tiger, Mantecore. The Simpsons predicted this ten years before it happened.
