Line #4 YMMV/AttackTheBlock


1	%%* Crazy Awesome: The only explanation for how Hi-Hatz survived in the elevator.
2	* CultClassic: Despite getting screwed by the studio, ''Attack the Block'' received [[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/attack_the_block/ high praise from critics]] and has a devoted following.
3	* DirectorDisplacement: Creator/EdgarWright was only an executive producer, yet his name was featured all over the advertising. Not to mention Creator/NickFrost, one of Wright's most frequent members of his ProductionPosse, stars in the movie.
4	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Probs and Mayhem. Brewis as well.
5	* HilariousInHindsight:
6	** We see that the doors of the Block are not uniform in color. Therefore, it is quite serendipitous that Sam (played by Jodie Whittaker) has a [[Series/DoctorWho blue door]] to her apartment.
7	** Sam's initial refusal to acknowledge that the aliens are really aliens even in the face of overwhelming evidence (No, the gorilla-sized monsters with bioluminescent teeth and no eyes aren't ''dogs'') is nearly identical to the response the Thirteenth Doctor gets when she tells her soon-to-be companions that she's an alien in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E1TheWomanWhoFellToEarth her first episode]] of ''Series/DoctorWho''.
8	** John Boyega would once again [[Film/PacificRimUprising lead a group of kids to battle aliens with glowing blue mouths.]]
9	** The moment when you realize that a ClusterFBomb-laden movie like this is going to be viewed by untold generations of ''Star Wars'' and ''Doctor Who'' fanatics who want to see how John's and Jodie's sci-fi careers got started.
10	* MemeticMutation: I think it's safe to say a lot of the slang was mimicked after the movie came out. [[SelfDemonstratingArticle Trust]].
11	** "That's an alien, bruv, believe it!"
12	** "Believe, bruv."
13	** "Allow it."[[note]]Often used on message boards for {{reaction shot}}s over demanding more information from a user, however, you can translate it as "Leave [pronoun] alone!"[[/note]]
14	** "Go home, lock your door, do your homework, watch Naruto."
15	* MoralEventHorizon: Hi-Hatz crosses this line when he still tries to kill Moses even after he sees the aliens himself.
16	* NightmareRetardant: Do ''not'' watch the DVD extras until after you've seen the film as many times as you intend to. [[spoiler: Seeing the alien-actors in their ''non''-Vantablack monster costumes will be a serious let-down, compared to the creatures' finished "look".]]
17	* OneSceneWonder: Most of the gang's families, such as they are, appear in this fashion.
18	* RetroactiveRecognition:
19	** By 2015, Creator/JohnBoyega will be known as [[Film/TheForceAwakens Finn, the newest Star Wars protagonist]]. Funny enough, he also fights like a samurai in that movie.
20	** Franz Drameh would go on to be known for being [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow Jax Jefferson, aka Firestorm]].
21	** As of 2017, Creator/JodieWhittaker has been announced as [[Series/DoctorWho the Thirteenth Doctor.]]
22	* {{Squick}}: Just before the camera cuts away from [[spoiler:Hi-Hatz]] being killed by the aliens, there's a ''lovely'' shot of the lower half of his face being ripped off as he screams.
23	* TearJerker: Moses and the girls mourn the death of [[spoiler:Dennis.]] The worst part is you never even see the state of the body, only the reactions of everyone nearby.
24	* TheWoobie: Brewis
