* NarmCharm: Decidedly ''not'' Creator/JohnCarpenter's best film by a large margin, between the silly dialogue and the rock music that plays during the Martian attacks, it still manages to be pretty entertaining. Even the last lines are a gem.

* MagnificentBastard: James "Desolation" Williams is a criminal held at the Shining Canyon. A brilliant felon who survives the unearthing of the titular ghosts of Mars, Desolation helps the arriving police survive for his own sake while revealing he had men there to help break him out. Desolation is instrumental to the survival with his strategy and planning, saving heroine Lieutenant Melanie Ballard from her own possession and forming a plan to wipe out the Ghosts and allow the survivors to escape before slipping off himself. When the Ghosts take over a city at the end, Desolation arrives to assist Ballard, joking she'd make a great criminal before opting to take the fight to the Ghosts.

* WhatAnIdiot: So, what happens once the crew reaches the train they can use to escape? Melanie Ballard stops the train 30 seconds later so they can ''go back to kill off the possessed miners''. Even though they all know that if they die, the ghosts will simply find another body to possess and there's no guarantee that her plan to cause a nuclear explosion will work, they decide to go anyway.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A lot of time was given to tension occurring between Melanie and the Martian leader. There seemed to be times where he went after the group specifically targeting ''her'', and the plot seemed to be building up to a final confrontation between the two. Instead, the Martian leader has a final confrontation with Williams instead and Melanie fights some random Martian mook on the train.

** The film ends just as Ballard and Williams are preparing for an all-out war against an army of possession victims. That sounds like it'd be a fairly entertaining movie in its own right.
