* HilariousInHindsight: HarsherInHindsight: The script originally included the line "I'll keep you safe, kids. I promise. Nothing will hurt you, I swear to God", which Creator/VicMorrow never got to say to the child actors before they were killed on-set.

* TheWoobie: John Valentine of "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". As one commenter put it, Creator/JohnLithgow was acting his ''ass'' off throughout the sequence, and perfectly sells the poor guy's increasing distress and desperation when his usual anxiety gives way to terror at realizing that some kind of evil being is outside the plane he's riding on, trying to sabotage the engines, and ''[[CassandraTruth nobody else can see it but him]]''. At least he gets partially vindicated after saving the plane when the other passengers and flight crew see firsthand that, even though they never saw any Gremlin on the wing, Valentine was right that ''something'' was trying to destroy the engine.

* OvershadowedByControversy: The film will be forever tainted by the helicopter crash which killed Creator/VicMorrow and two child actors, My-Ca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. Creator/StevenSpielberg ''never'' forgave Creator/JohnLandis and the two have not been on speaking terms since. Creator/EddieMurphy distanced himself at first as well, but [[EveryManHasHisPrice eventually agreed to later work with Landis]] on ''Film/ComingToAmerica'' and ''Film/BeverlyHillsCopIII''.

* ImprovedSecondAttempt: While the overall execution and direction of the scene isn't considered quite as frightening as the original, it's generally agreed that the Gremlin on the plane wing is '''much''' scarier-looking and more convincing than the [[NightmareRetardant goofy-looking looking Gremlin costume]] from the [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E123NightmareAt20000Feet original]].
