* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox was so certain that it would fail, they fired Creator/RobertZemeckis from directing ''Film/{{Cocoon}}''. This turned out to be a benefit: Zemeckis and his friend Bob Gale then had the freedom to pursue their pet project ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', and in the meantime this was the surprise box-office smash of the summer of '84.

** Zolo himself, period. An intelligent, brutal, cruel and sadistic psychopath with a private army at his beck and call, and one who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Maybe Diane Thomas would have been able to make a worthy sequel, but after her death we got a horrible mess that was obviously the result of mass studio interference. Rather than make a third film, the cast went and made ''Film/WarOfTheRoses''.
