| 1 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Two of the film's stars went on to successful TV series: Craig Stevens played the title role in ''Series/PeterGunn'', while William Hopper was cast as Paul Drake in ''Franchise/PerryMason''. |
| 2 | * RomanticPlotTumor: The awkward romance. |
| 3 | * TheScrappy: Corporal "Donny Most"'s supposed-to-be-funny awkwardness when a woman shows up is so cartoonish that it's kinda painful to watch. Thankfully he's only briefly on scene. Hopefully the mantis got him. |
| 4 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: Any number, but the one that really stands out is a weird inversion that worked ''too'' well, namely a ridiculously thick patch of fog which obscures what is supposed to be a camera focus on a giant mantis footprint. |
| 5 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: |
| 6 | ** The life-size model of the dead giant mantis itself in the tunnel, which looks pretty good for a movie from that era. |
| 7 | ** Likewise, a very brief long-shot of the mantis climbing the Washington Monument (a live mantis climbing a detailed model of the monument) is genuinely impressive. |
