2 | * CultClassic: The movie was initially seen as another failed SNL vehicle, but has steadily gained a devoted audience due to its highly quotable and over the top nature. |
3 | * HilariousInHindsight: Creator/ValKilmer playing a villain who gets half of his face burned, when he was the lead of that [[Film/BatmanForever first Batman movie with Two-Face]]. |
4 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: |
5 | ** The film's climax, set off by Cunth cutting of a lock of Mac's hair, who responds by [[spoiler: ripping two of Cunth's men's throats, followed by Lt. Piper distracting another with the "Celery Trick", and Vicki kicking the remaining goon.]] Oh, but it gets better, [[spoiler: Mac attempts to defuse the warhead, but ultimately can't, settling on removing it's nuclear content and the guidance system, effectively destroying both Cunth and his headquarters.]] |
6 | ** Given how un-subtle the rest of the movie is, [[spoiler:you have to wonder if it's coincidence that [=MacGruber=] effectively beats the missile by ''[[ChekhovsSkill ripping its throat out]]'']]. |
7 | ** When [=MacGruber=] and Piper are pinned down in the back of their surveillance van by one of Von Cunth's mooks, Grubes uses the handle of an Incredi-Mop to turn the van's ignition key, then [[CarFu to push the gas pedal, running the mook over]]. |
8 | * SignatureScene: |
9 | ** [[spoiler: [=MacGruber=] accidentally blowing up his BadassCrew in the van]] due to the homemade C-4 gets singled out for being a subversive and hysterical SurprisinglySuddenDeath, with [=MacGruber=]'s amusing freak-out being the cherry on the top. |
10 | ** [[spoiler: Cunth's death]], to the point of being the film's JustHereForGodzilla to some. It's so gloriously brutal and over the top it'd make [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] and [[Creator/RobertRodriguez Rodriguez]] blush. |
11 | * {{Squick}}: Cunth's [[spoiler: missing penis at the end.]] |
12 | * VindicatedByHistory: The movie was a bomb at the box office and was generally panned by critics during its release, but has since grown into a cult classic with a sizable fanbase. |
