* SpiritualSuccessor: To the ''Film/ManiacCop'' trilogy, especially by how it shows Sam in his coffin. ''MC'' trilogy ended with Matt Cordell being inside his.



* UnintentionalUncannyValley: [[http://horror.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/uncle-sam-1996.jpg The Uncle Sam mask]] is even more unsettling than Sam's actual appearance.

** Really, the whole idea of a guy dressed as Uncle Sam on a murder spree would be ridiculous were it not for the UncannyValley nature of his costume, or his disturbing backstory.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

** The original poster art, as seen on the main page. When it was released to VHS, it was a holographic cover, but that doesn't stop it from being any less tacky.
** One of the film's posters has this tagline: "I want you... DEAD!"

** The heroes are a crippled veteran who regrets his service and a draft-dodger. The villain is the reanimated corpse of a SociopathicSoldier (who's actually more of a mercenary then a soldier) who is so jingoistic that he dresses as a national symbol and kills anyone he feels disgraces the nation. It's obvious how the filmmakers feel about political stances.
