1	* AssPull: There was no monster. All that searching and build-up to what the monster really is? It's all for naught. It comes right out of nowhere, makes no sense within the confines of the film's universe, and leaves the viewer with a ton of unanswered questions.
2	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: There's a scene late in the movie where a trucker helps a woman whose car has broken down. The scene has no relevance to the plot and we never see the two of them again, and other than seeing a shot of the monster's boots as it walks around, doesn't even seem like the same movie. [[WildMassGuessing It's possible they originally intended for the two of them to get killed by the monster, but ran out of money before they could film that scene]]. In the next scene, the main characters offhandedly mention that they found the body of a truck driver.
3	* BileFascination: And even those strong souls will have to endure how bad it is, if [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Joel and the bots]] haven't.
4	* {{Padding}}: About half an hour's worth, as aimless shots of the military are used in long, silent stretches.
5	* SpecialEffectFailure:
6	** The "space capsule". As Servo puts it, Douglas would have had to be short, pear-shaped and stood the whole way to barely fit into it. It's also pretty obviously a cardboard cutout, as we only ever see it from one angle.
7	** A guy gets killed and is described as horribly disfigured. This is achieved by just having the perfectly not-disfigured guy lay there and make a stupid face.
8	** Frank Douglas is just a tall man with a bad acne problem. There are even a few shots where he is missing his "deformed" make-up entirely!
9	** At one point, they try to pass off someone making a tongue-trilling noise as a phone ringing. Needless to say, it doesn't work. During the [=MST3K=] episode for this movie, Joel actually called it "unbelievable" and Servo proceeded to riff "Yes, I made that phone noise."
10	** There's one ''very'' odd moment where two characters are talking in a lab and suddenly a loud ringing noise (similar to a wind-up alarm clock) goes off, yet the characters don't seem to hear it and pay no mind. Most likely it was dubbed in at the wrong time by mistake.
11	** More or less the opposite happens in another scene, where two characters are at a restaurant and one of them comments on the song playing, ''even though there's no background music at all''. Most likely they planned to dub some in but [[NoBudget ran out of funds.]]
