* AdaptationDisplacement: Mention Gunhed to a ShootEmUp or UsefulNotes/PCEngine fan and they'll likely default to thinking of the much more critically acclaimed video game adaptation, also known as VideoGame/BlazingLazers in the west. Especially for Western retro gamers who only know of the game under the Blazing Lazers title, chances are that fans of the game won't even know of the original movie.

* TheScrappy: The two child characters, Seven and Eleven, are generally seen as the movie's low point, and they rarely stop talking.

* ParodyDisplacement: The film itself may not be completely obscure, but many people probably first found out about it through its use as a music video for Music/FrontLineAssembly's "Mindphaser".



* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Gunhed, both as a scale model and a full-size mockup, is simply awesome. The animations (of Gunhed and the maps) on Gunhed's onboard computer also stand out.

* HilariousInHindsight: When you confuse this as a ''Gundam'' film, Creator/{{Sunrise}} actually created [[Film/GSaviour a Tokusatsu Gundam film]] for you... Which ended up sharing the same flop ''Gunhed'' had.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: While the rest of the film is a mess, with some decent special effects, perhaps the best part of it would be the energetic and memorable score by Toshiyuki Honda, who would later score the Metropolis (2001). The main theme is pretty good, and the two vocal songs by Mariko Nagai are also very nice and well-done.

* {{Narm}}: The valuable element is called "texmexium"... as in "Tex-Mex", a type of American/Mexican cuisine that originated in Texas, home of the Texas Air Rangers.

** Completely [[ConspicuousCG subverted]] by the floating, sound-detecting mine.
** Subverted to a lesser extent by the Biodroid's lasers. While they aren't bad, they are ''dated''.

** Perhaps this was what we're meant to take away? It would explain, most notably, WHY an airborne ranger from the Republic of Texas was on some island in the Pacific Ocean after a nuclear war. She was there to get THEIR energy source.
