* HilariousInHindsight: The film was able to predict [[ChinaTakesOverTheWorld the rise of China as a capitalist superpower]], if not the method thereof. It also predicted the USSR collapsing, Nike becoming a huge conglomerate (and with it, althetic wear being commonplace) and reality TV being out of control.
* ValuesResonance: Sure, the film wasn't very enjoyable, but many of its themes are still very relevant: energy shortages, [[PostPeakOil America becoming depleted of oil]] and falling into bankruptcy to foreign lenders, and foreign competition with newer powers.
