* {{Sequelitis}}: ''Naqoyqatsi'' is often considered inferior, [[DownplayedTrope though not always considered a bad]] ''[[DownplayedTrope film]]'', [[DownplayedTrope just not as good as the first two]]. Some have blamed it on the SequelGap of 14 years, while Glass' score was radically different from the first two films, and the visuals tried to combat SeinfeldIsUnfunny by using CGI.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: The [[{{Undercrank}} time-lapsed sequences]] of cloudscapes, scenery, traffic, and walking crowds have been ''very'' widely imitated, but you saw it here first.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Released in 1983, but largely filmed in The '70s. It starts becoming a period piece when they begin showing people in dated clothing, and really dates itself when it shows the inside of an arcade (bridging those years in which the 1970s transitioned into the '80s culturally -- one man is playing ''VideoGame/QBert'', which was released in late 1982).

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The direct comparison of [[spoiler:a satellite photograph of a city]] to [[spoiler:a close-up of a microchip]] is anything but subtle. It is also ''very'' powerful and disturbing.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Believe it or not, time-lapse photography was relatively ''new'' and few people ever experienced it at this scale.

* OneSceneWonder: The boy walking on the side of the road and getting eclipsed by a dust cloud by a passing truck is so memorable it became the poster for ''Powaqqatsi''.

* FirstInstallmentWins: ''Koyaanisqatsi'' was and is far more famous and acclaimed than its two sequels (which many viewers have never seen and may not know exist). [[ContestedSequel Some]] who have seen ''Powwaqatsi'' [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel state it's better than the first film, however]].
