3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: A gravelly-voiced Albert Collins issues the decree of "''Nobody'' leaves this stage without singin' the Blues." And thus, there's a catchy improv, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=552PLnE61TM Babysitter Blues]]", that demonstrates that Creator/ElisabethShue has surprisingly good pipes.
4	* HarsherInHindsight: Darryl's rape joke is this, knowing his actor Creator/AnthonyRapp publicly accused Creator/KevinSpacey of sexual assault in 2017.
5	* HilariousInHindsight: In 2020, [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Adam_Aziz_(Earth-616) a mechanic became Thor by being worthy of wielding Mjolnir]], something that the mechanic mistaken for Thor in this movie Creator/VincentDOnofrio [[https://twitter.com/vincentdonofrio/status/1306415811108708353 found amusing]]. Not only that, Disney would come to own Thor after buying Marvel. And the film's "Thor" [[Series/Daredevil2015 joined Marvel, but as a villain.]]
6	* JustHereForGodzilla: Many male viewers gladly went to watch a movie a movie called ''Adventures in Babysitting'' thanks to having the lovely Creator/ElisabethShue being the star.
7	* RetroactiveRecognition:
8	** Creator/BradleyWhitford as Mike Todwell, around a decade before he started playing Josh Lyman on ''Series/TheWestWing''.
9	** Creator/AnthonyRapp as Darryl, who would later go on to be the lead of ''Theatre/{{Rent}}''.
10	** Creator/VincentDOnofrio as "Thor" is a subversion, as his StarMakingRole as Private Pyle in ''Film/FullMetalJacket'' only happened a month before.
11	** Brenda is played by Creator/PenelopeAnnMiller long before she took roles in movies like ''Film/CarlitosWay''.
12	** Creator/GeorgeNewbern plays Dan Lynch, only a few years before ''Film/{{Father of the Bride\|1991}}'' and a while before he began voicing both ComicBook/{{Superman}} in various Creator/DCComics media and [[Characters/FinalFantasyVIISephiroth Sephiroth]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' fame in ''[[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Advent Children]]'' onwards.
13	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Admit it, wouldn't it have been fun to see how the gangsters could have done to sing the blues to get out of that club to continue the chase?
14	* ToughActToFollow: [[Film/AdventuresInBabysitting2016 The remake]] has a bit of [[InJoke skyscraper to climb]], given this movie's status as a classic.
15	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Sara's obsession with Thor is played up as being weird because at the time, he was a relatively obscure character in Marvel's pantheon, best known for a recent AudienceAlienatingEra where he was turned into a frog. Of course, the huge popularity bump he got from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse will likely have people these days wondering what the big deal is.
16	** Brenda attempting to pay by check, rather than instantly rectifying her cash deficiency at any (extant, but far from ubiquitous, at the time) [=ATM=], is another conspicuous example.
17	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Considering that Brenda’s lack of critical thinking by running away from home with no money except for one way cab fare was what started the whole thing, it’s hard to really pity her when she runs into a lot of bad luck plus she dives into UngratefulBitch territory when she asks Chris what took her so long after the night Chris has had getting there in the first place.
18	* ValuesDissonance: The use of "homo" as an insult was considered less offensive at the time when the movie came out.
19	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The title makes the film sound like a film primarily for preteen girls which shocks some viewers when they find out it contains sexual references, some violence including a gang fight on a subway, and coarse language including two F bombs. Though the film IS rated PG-13. This could also explain the title change outside the US.
