As Buzzs talk button is repeatedly hit it skips the message "Buzz... Buzz... Buzz Lightyear to the rescue." This occurred in the fight between Woody and Buzz underneath the car at the gas station. In the scene in Als apartment where Woody and the gang of Andys toys are trying to discern which Buzz is the "real Buzz", Buzz lowers Buzz 2s helmet and Buzz 2 gags and gasps for breath. The camera then cuts to a shot of Woody and the gang of Andys toys making facial expressions of "...Really?" This is the same as in the first movie, where Woody lowered Buzzs helmet in Andys room and Buzz reacted in the same manner.
