Per TRS, Feelies is now Trivia.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Feelies}}: Some original VHS versions of the film came with barfing bags and some came with extra cradboard finger to make alien's FlippingTheBird on the cover into less offensive inverted V-sign gesture.

Added DiffLines:

* BannedInChina: The film was banned in the Australian state of Queensland for being too gory, despite already being censored by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC). This would turn out to be one of the last films banned in Queensland as Wayne Goss' Labor Government would abolish the state's separate censorship board in 1990, essentially lifting the ban. The film was eventually passed uncut in Australia in 2004.

* ActingForTwo: both Derek and Robert are played by Peter Jackson, which makes the scene where Derek tries to torture Robert to reveal why the aliens are here all the funnier.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Jackson started out making a short which was simply about Giles finding the town he was sent to overrun by aliens, with a DownerEnding of them capturing and eating him. Many of his scenes were simply taken straight from what had been filmed from the short, resulting in some odd tonal shifts that act like the aliens are a surprise.
