!!!The 1993 movie contains examples of:
* SpecialEffectsFailure: In the far shots of Nancy carrying Harry he's clearly a doll.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The scene where Nancy bathes in a swimming pool is surprisingly impressive for a low-budget movie.

* StockFootageFailure: The repeated reuse of the clip of Nancy walking results in a continuity error at the end when she's supposed to be holding Harry, since her hands are clearly empty.

* CultClassic: Despite atrocious "special" effects and a meandering story that fails to deliver on the premise until the last eight minutes, the movie has nonetheless left a significant mark on pop culture (even being the TropeNamer for AttackOfThe50FootWhatever), more so than almost any other 50s sci-fi b-movie.

* {{Padding}}: Despite barely being an hour long, it takes ''forever'' for the premise to happen with numerous dialogue scenes between inconsequential characters. Even the subplot involving the giant alien ends up going nowhere and it still takes another twenty minutes for Nancy to "attack" after she's turned giant (and this is a huge flaw for a movie only ''an hour'' long).

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The film features an attractive, scantily-clad GiantWoman as its primary draw, which is certainly ''very'' appealing for a significant number of people for... [[FetishFuel certain reasons]], which has definitely helped its CultClassic status.
