* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: The movie was consistently savaged by critics upon release, but many of them found Michael Moriarty's act as Jimmy a pretty good role. One of them infamously even told that to Larry Cohen's face, with Cohen answering "the dreck [that you just saw] was my idea".
* LoveToHate: Jimmy is a ''colossal'' asshole -- he's selfish, a coward, abusive, and greedy to the point of allowing innocent people to die in order to get a payday -- but Creator/MichaelMoriarty's charisma and the sheer gall of how much of an irresponsible {{jerkass}} his character is loops back into making a hilariously entertaining VillainProtagonist.
* NightmareFuel:
** The human victims of the Cultist that were ''skinned alive'', and show onscreen in their full bloody glory.
** The baby Quetzalcoatl being blasted with machine gun fire just as it hatches. Even for a monster, it's pretty disturbing to watch.
%% * SignatureScene: The climactic battle between a bunch of machine gun-toting NYPD cops and the titular creature.
