1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Scores like this one make you wonder why Cliff Eidelman hasn't done more adventure movies in his career.
2* CultClassic: A flop when it was first released (it opened on the same day as ''Film/TheFugitive''), it's more fondly remembered as one of the first major sendups of the superhero genre.
3* FridgeBrilliance: Earnest Moses helping out Jeff turned out to be a redemption moment for him since he did witness a gang attack but did nothing to prevent it, which resulted in the elderly victim of it being hospitalized. And he wasn't going to let the same thing or worse happen to Jefferson at the hands of the Golden Lords.
4* OlderThanTheyThink: What's the first superhero movie with a Black lead? Not ''Film/BlackPanther2018'', ''Film/Blade1998'' or ''Film/Spawn1997'' as many would think, or not even the maligned ''Film/{{Steel}}'', but this 1993 movie.
5* RetroactiveRecognition:
6** Creator/DonCheadle and Eddie Griffin both were relative unknowns when they made this movie.
7** Lela Rochon is Jeff's sexy nurse, prior to being in ''Literature/WaitingToExhale'',
8** The announcer at the mall when Jeff's friend impersonates Meteor Man is an unbilled Creator/ChrisTucker.
