1* AmericansHateTingle: The film was one of the biggest box office hits ever in Australia, so, hoping for another ''Film/CrocodileDundee''-like success, Creator/WarnerBros released it in the US in the jam-packed blockbuster summer of 1989 with massive hype, but it was a huge disappointment, limping to 8th place on its opening weekend and just barely turning a profit while receiving a mostly negative reaction from critics. This has largely been attributed to its style of humour not translating well overseas.
2* NightmareFuel: The kittens being placed into a pie to be ''baked alive''! Thankfully they were all saved in time...
3* RetroactiveRecognition:
4** The film's main antagonist was played by Creator/JohnHoward (not to be confused with the [[UsefulNotes/AustralianPolitics former Australian Prime Minister]] of the same name), more recognizable nowadays as the People Eater from ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad''
5** A young Georgie Parker makes a brief appearance, a year before her StarMakingRole on ''Series/ACountryPractice''.
6* {{Squick}}: Just ''what'' was that slop that the asylum chef was serving?
