* NightmareRetardant: The rather goofy face of the giant scorpion looks more UglyCute than intimidating.

* NightmareRetardant: The rather goofy face of the non-stop motion giant scorpion looks more UglyCute than intimidating.


Added DiffLines:

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Willis O'Brien and Pete Peterson delivered arguably one of the best stop motion monsters with the scorpions, which look, move, and act almost exactly like the real thing. The movements are extremely fluid and come off particularly well in the various giant arthropod battles and rampage by the biggest scorpion at the end.

Now Flame Bait and Darth.


* WhatAnIdiot: The army tries killing the scorpion with an electrified cannon shell (essentially, a giant taser.) After it fails, a soldier reels the shell back by its cord- and then holds it in his hands without first telling the team by the generator to turn the power off. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments He gets electrocuted]].

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Animator Willis O'Brian, the same person who animated [[Film/KingKong1933 King freakin' Kong]], delivered some of the smoothest stop motion of his career (The "cave of monsters" sequence) for a low budget '50s sci-fi movie.

* HilariousInHindsight: several times people address the main character with an emphatic [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow "Dr. Scott!"]]
** the Scorpion’s face used in the closeups is similar to an obscure 80s toyline Rocks and Bug and Thing, specifically the bugs’ gimmick of their heads opening up to reveal a second, ostensibly scarier face when squeezed from the sides.
