!! The 1997 movie:
* HarsherInHindsight: The Kerrigan's Arab neighbour Farouk threatening to get a friend to blow up the people harassing him, then quietly admitting to Daryl that he can do no such thing, but ''everyone'' believes all Arabs are terrorists, is a lot less funny in the wake of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror and the constantly escalating racial profiling and harassment of anyone of middle-eastern appearance.
* MemeticMutation: The movie is iconic among Australian audiences, and a lot of quotes from it ("Tell 'im he's dreamin'!") have become part of Australian vernacular.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Steve is played Anthony Simcoe, two years before he gained international recognition as Ka D'Argo on ''Series/{{Farscape}}''.
