* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The orchestral score by Music/BillConti. Some sections could be inserted into a dramatic film and not miss a beat.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Lt. Bagley grabbed by a random, unseen anaconda and the out-of-nowhere slinky going down the stairs during Ryan and Laughrea's fight.
* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: At the time, it was actually part of the joke that the film cast such a wide net in the material that it parodied. Nowadays, every parody movie is like that (the Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg movies in particular gained infamy for it), and the worse for it.
* SpecialEffectFailure: [[PlayedForLaughs Done deliberately]] in the bus crash scene. Instead of a realistic tumble down the hill, the bus bounces around like a pinball (complete with pinball machine sound effects) multiple times before finally landing.
