| 1 | * CompleteMonster: Dr. UsefulNotes/JosefMengele is a Nazi who fled to South America after [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII the war]] to escape justice for his crimes in the concentration camps. Orchestrating a plot to build a FourthReich, he captures dozens of women and forcibly impregnates them with UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler's DNA so that [[YouClonedHitler he can resurrect the dead dictator through cloning]] and renew Nazi Germany’s bid for world conquest. Mengele orders 94 men across the world killed as part of the experiment, performing the assassinations personally after he has a fallout with the rest of the retired Nazi leadership. He is prepared to kill anyone who stands in his way, including a Brazilian boy who spied on his compound. Mengele's endgame is to create a new Hitler—Mengele's ideal of the perfect sociopathic genocidal warlord—for every subsequent generation until the [[FinalSolution total extermination]] of the "lower races" is completed. |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: Creator/BrunoGanz plays the doctor who explains the basic mechanics of cloning, which leads to realization that Mengele plans to clone Adolf Hitler. Years later, he would play Hitler himself in ''Film/{{Downfall|2004}}'' to critical acclaim, with many finding his performance to almost fool them into believing the real Hitler had come back from the dead. |
| 3 | * ItWasHisSled: Mengele's plan is to clone Hitler. Originally not revealed until near the end of the film, this one has become so well known that the DVD cover doesn't even try to hide it. |
| 4 | * NightmareFuel: Blue-eyed Indian kids. |
| 5 | * ProperlyParanoid: The pack of Dobermans owned by the Wheelock family are ''incredibly'' well-trained. That level of training requires a great deal of effort and attention. Did something happen during the adoption process that made Mr. Wheelock suspect something was not right, and that perhaps someday he might ''need'' a pack of dogs with that level of training? |
| 6 | * RetroactiveRecognition: |
| 7 | ** Professor Bruckner is played by Creator/BrunoGanz, Adolf Hitler of ''Film/{{Downfall|2004}}'' fame. |
| 8 | ** Barry Kohler is played by Creator/SteveGuttenberg of ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' fame, in one of his very first film roles. |
| 9 | ** Doring is played by Creator/RichardMarner, who would later be best known for playing Colonel von Strohm in ''Series/AlloAllo''. |
| 10 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: The kids' blue eyes are entirely unconvincing contacts. |
