Trivia
Inspired by volcano-related Hollywood disaster films, such as Dante's Peak (1997) and Volcano (1997), which came out around the time Trey Parker and Matt Stone were writing the script; they considered the films two of the worst ever made. Stone said, "If you watch this episode and then go watch Volcano (1997), this makes more sense than Volcano does."

Goofs
When sitting around the campfire, all the boys are on the same side, sitting next to each other. Yet when Cartman starts to tell his story, Stan is sitting opposite them.

Quotes
[Repeated line, while hunting]
Jimbo: It's coming right for us.

Volcano Shmano

Rewatching the old episodes is fun but painful. There's a lot less one liners and the comedy is just slower, but it's nice. I'd give this a 7.3 which in terms of old south ain't too bad. The idea that there's a volcano in Colorado is pretty funny, Jimbo and Ned's introduction is great and their hunting gimmicks are pretty good at times. One thing I noticed in the earlier seasons is that the mayor was made out to be some sort of corrupt politician, she was just annoying and unlikeable I'm glad they changed her around.
