** About halfway through the fight, Nada picks up a 2x4 to use as a weapon. He swings, Frank dodges, and the force of the strike ends up completely shattering a car’s rear windshield and leaving a huge dent in the frame. Realising he would’ve probably killed Frank had the blow connected, Nada drops the 2x4 and starts [[ApologeticAttacker apologising profusely]]. Frank furiously attempts to shatter a bottle to turn into a weapon, but the bottle shatters completely, leaving Frank without a weapon and causing him to angrily curse "FUCK!" while tossing the remains away. Nada can't help but [[ActuallyPrettyFunny burst into giggles]] until Frank jumps back into the melee.

* The long fight scene between Nada and Frank. The OverlyLongGag aspect of it can be hysterical to some people.

* During the VERY long fight scene, Frank attempts to shatter a bottle to turn into a weapon; the bottle shatters completely, leaving Frank without a weapon. Roddy Piper externalizes what we were all thinking by giving a little snicker before jumping back into the melee.

** "I'm gonna give you two choices. Either put on the glasses, or start eatin' that trash can!"

* Nada's been shambling in a stupor around the city since finding the sunglasses, and is teetering on the brink of GoMadFromTheRevelation. After finally seeing a News broadcast and starting to grasp the sheer scope of what's happening around him, he chuckles.

** FridgeBrilliance kicks in, too, when you remember that earlier in the film, someone described the human race's relationship to the aliens thusly: "We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock." Does that mean this alien is committing the alien equivalent of ''bestiality''? (In reality, it's more a case of colonialism, since Carpenter said and the characters say in the film that the Earth is basically a Third World country to the aliens.)

-->'''John:''' It figures it'd be something like this.

-->'''Nada:''' Y'know, you look like your head fell in the cheese grater back in 1957. ''[she gasps, Nada points at a human]'' You? You're okay. ''[turns and points back at the alien]'' This one? ''Real'' fuckin' ugly!

** And of course, the entire fact that this absurdly long, drag-out brawl is happening because ''Frank doesn't want to put on a pair of sunglasses''. After a while you really have no choice but to bow to the absurdity.

* At the end: "What's wrong, baby?" That woman has just realized she's having sex with an alien who resembles a rotting corpse.
