!!YMMV Tropes for the [[Manga/CatsEye Anime and Manga]]:

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The series was very popular in Europe for a time (Italy and France especially), but remains hardly known in the US (as such, their appearance in ''Anime/CityHunterShinjukuPrivateEyes'' in 2019 flew over many people's heads). And in Japan, although regarded as a classic, its notoriety remains limited as well.
* GrowingTheBeard: The second season is overall better compared to the first season, especially with the AnimationBump.
* HilariousInHindsight: At one point in the manga Ai says that Toshio posing with a gun looks cool as ''Manga/CityHunter''. Then in ''Anime/CityHunterShinjukuPrivateEyes'' they finally meet and he ''immediately'' starts acting like a perverted clown.
* MagnificentBitch:
** [[ClassyCatBurglar Hitomi Kisugi]] is the main thief of Cat's Eye pulling out their many heist [[RuleOfCool with flare and flawless execution]]. Working with her sisters to trick her father by stealing all his art pieces to reach out to him, Hitomi, with her extraordinary athletism, espionage, and quick thinking is able to pull them off with clever methods to overcome the police and criminals they fight, all the while using her relationship with Toshio to her advantage, using his position in the police to gather intel unbeknownst to them while going out of her way to stop far worse criminals during her robberies, [[WeHelpTheHelpless having a creed to protect innocence]]. Eventually surpassing Rui and becoming leader due to being better in adapting, Hitomi and her sisters are ultimately able to steal the last of her father's art pieces and find him, while nearly getting Toshio to join her by using a dual identity to try alluring him to her side.
** [[TheLeader Rui Kisugi]], the eldest sister of Cat's Eye, is [[FemmeFatale the groups' master strategist and seducer]]. Alluring as she is intelligent, Rui is a master of using [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman her beauty]] to get key intel her team needs for their daring heist, planning the crime near flawlessly regardless of security and opposition, while setting up fallacy plans whenever someone is close to their identity. While as the parental figure to her sisters, Rui is able to care for their well-being, keeping the group together and maintaining their infamous reputation till the end where they manage to accomplish their goal of finding their [[DisappearedDad missing father]].
* TestosteroneBrigade: The show has a ''large'' male fanbase for featuring three attractive, mysterious and kickass {{action girl}}s.

!!YMMV Tropes for the [[Film/CatsEye Film]]:
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: General finally getting the upper paw on the evil troll and sending him flying straight into a box fan. Crosses with [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]] when General does this by switching a record player to spin too fast for the troll to cling to it, so that the climax is scored with Music/ThePolice running at 78 RPM. Also some SuspiciouslyAproposMusic; The specific song is "Every Breath You Take" and the troll kills children by "stealing their breath."
* CrossesTheLineTwice: Hearing the *SPLAT!* as Cressner hits the sidewalk will have you cringing. Hearing the flat *HONK!* as he happens to hit the horn he dropped earlier will have you laughing at the same time.
* HarsherInHindsight: Try watching the Quitter's Inc. segment after reading King's other short story, "The Ten O' Clock People", where balancing how much you smoke allows you to see the Bat-people.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: General hopping up and giving the sleeping Amanda a kiss, and getting a big hug in return, provides a most upbeat ending to a Stephen King movie.
* HilariousInHindsight: Mike Starr would later play an [[spoiler:eventually-offed]] henchman ''again'' in ''Film/DumbAndDumber''.
* NarmCharm: The climax of the final segment: psychic housecat defeats miniature troll threatening girl by tricking it onto a record player playing Music/ThePolice [[HeliumSpeech at 78 RPM]] that spins so fast it goes flying into a fan. It's hilarious and badass all at once.
* NightmareRetardant: Rare in a Stephen King film; the miniature troll is supposed to be a gruesome little beast, and certainly [[GrossUpCloseUp looks the part]], but then Creator/FrankWelker's unmistakable voice comes out of it. It significantly tones down the NightmareFuel.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Charles Dutton in his first role, as a thug in "The Ledge."
* SpecialEffectFailure: It's all too obviously a cartoon [[spoiler:Cressner]] falling off the ledge.
** The opticals used to insert the troll in the scene where it fights the cat look unfinished.
