History YMMV / IdleHands

** ActionGirl Priestess Debi.
** Mick and Pnub, ThoseTwoGuys played by cult actors who have some of the best lines.
** Tanya has some fans for her [[MsFanservice hot devil costume]], nice interactions with Pnub and Molly at the dance, being one of the few characters to actually show deep grief at anyone's death, and [[spoiler:having a well-remembered death scene]].

* AnticlimaxBoss: {{Lampshaded}}. The hand is skewered with an enchanted knife, and just goes ''-poof-''.
-->'''Mick''': That's it? That's it? No explosions, no hellfire, no- (screeches demonically) I mean, no, I'm glad everybody's all right, but... that was weak.

* HilariousInHindsight: The film's music composer Music/GraemeRevell and Anton's actor Creator/DevonSawa are both part of the ''Franchise/ChildsPlay'' franchise. Revell had scored ''Film/ChildsPlay2'' and ''Film/BrideOfChucky'', while Sawa plays a [[ActingForTwo triple role]] in the franchise's 2021 spin-off television series for USA/Syfy, ''Series/{{Chucky}}''.

** When [[spoiler:Tanya]] who had been bonding a bit with them earlier, ends up in a DeadlyRotaryFan, Mick finds the thing darkly humorous while Pnub merely seems annoyed, [[spoiler:as it means he won't be able to have sex with her after all]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Molly's friend Tanya gets some decent scenes and lines with her (as a more cowardly companion during the vent scene and seeming to like her and Anton together) and with Pnub showing signs of being attracted to Pnub at the dance, first because of his costume, but even after [[spoiler:Hearing Mick say that their dead]]. {{Squick}} aside, there was some good BetaCouple potential there, but she only has a handful of scenes in the second half of the movie, [[spoiler:and is anti-climatically yanked through a rotor fan without much plot impact. And if she did have to die the filmmakers missed a trick by not having her be a third guardian angel at the end, as being an angel wearing a devil costume could have provided some good humor]].
