| 1 | * AdaptationDisplacement: Probably you came to know this movie through either ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' or Creator/StephenKing's ''Film/IT1990''. |
| 2 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Theresa, the gymnast, seems to be one of the most well-remembered parts about the film, and even appeared on the poster and other promotional materials. Probably because the actress was a ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' [[MsFanservice centerfold girl.]] |
| 3 | * JerkassWoobie: Tony may have been a hot-tempered prick, but one can't help but feel a little sorry for him when he legitimately tries to go to therapy to try to straighten himself out and reform his violent tendencies, only for his therapist to secretly be a mad scientist who turns him into a werewolf, which in turn causes [[spoiler:Tony to get shot and killed in the end for his troubles]]. |
| 4 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 5 | ** "And you call yourself a scientist!", which inspired a moderately well-known [[https://andyoucallyourselfascientist.com/ movie review website]]. |
| 6 | ** As the ReferencedBy page shows, the film's title is a common target for snowclones. |
| 7 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/MichaelLandon, of course. |
| 8 | * TheScrappy: Vic, the irritating little gnome responsible for the "Eenie Meenie Miny Moe" song. It's not uncommon for audiences to ''rejoice'' when he pushes Tony too far and gets the ever-loving crap kicked out of him. |
| 9 | * SignatureScene: The gymnastics scene. |
| 10 | * SpiritualSuccessor: ''Film/TeenWolf'' is part this, part remake. |
| 11 | * StrangledByTheRedString: ''Why'' would ''any'' girl put up with an abusive passive-aggressive guy like Tony? Well, it's TheFifties, but still. |
| 12 | * ValuesDissonance: Arlene's father's lecture to Tony implies that Arlene should be treated with more respect because she's pretty. |
