1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/JohnWilliams (yes, ''the'' [[Franchise/StarWars John Williams]]) composed the [[Music/BernardHerrmann Herrmann-esque]] score.
2	* CompleteMonster: [[FauxAffablyEvil Ben Childress]] is the supposed friend of the hero Peter, but is in truth a devious sociopath who runs the PSI program to find psychic [[WouldHurtAChild children]] to turn into [[TykeBomb weapons]]. Childress proceeds to murder their families and abduct the children, torturing them and conditioning them to break them down and leave nothing but psychic assassins for him, {{gaslighting}} them relentlessly and destroying anything close to them. When Peter survives and tries to save his son Robin, Childress tries to have him killed and even engineers a confrontation between them before plotting to take the heroine Gillian and mold her into his new weapon by the end.
3	* RetroactiveRecognition:
4	** Creator/JamesBelushi was hired and fired as an extra on this film. If you look closely at the tracking shots of Creator/AmyIrving in her swimsuit, you can see Belushi in a pair of dark trunks a few steps behind Irving.
5	** Creator/DarylHannah and Creator/LauraInnes also make their film debuts as Pam and Jody respectively.
6	** One of the off-duty cops who get carjacked by Peter is a young, clean-shaven Creator/DennisFranz.
7	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
8	** The amusement park Susan takes Robin to was [[https://drloihjournal.blogspot.com/2017/01/old-chicago-amusement-park-bolingbrook.html Old Chicago]], an ambitious attempt to build a mall around an indoor park. Too ambitious, since it closed in 1981 after just six years in operation.
9	** Gillian and Hester play the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Channel_F Fairchild Channel F]] (including the [[FollowTheLeader rather-familiar-looking]] [[VideoGame/{{Pong}} "Tennis"]] game), which was the first cartridge-based video game system, and was brand new at the time of filming. By the time the film hit theaters the Creator/{{Atari}} 2600 had been released and quickly outpaced the Channel F in sales.
10	* TheWoobie:
11	** Peter gets betrayed by Childress and his son, Robin gets kidnapped and even fails to save him in the end. The poor guy even gets Main/DrivenToSuicide.
12	** Gillian is no slouch either. Her psychic powers harm others when they touch her and she gets frightened by this, and she even fails to save Robin too.
