History YMMV / BeginningOfTheEnd

** The giant grasshoppers crawling up the buildings are clearly actually just regular sized grasshoppers crawling across a postcard.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[Film/TransformersDarkOftheMoon Chicago is the scene of a confrontation between the army and huge monsters.]]

* DesignatedHero: Dr. Ed Wainwright, Creator/PeterGraves' character. He CREATES the monsters, but never, at any point, apologizes for it - even though he's ''directly responsible'' at the very ''least'' for the death of his deaf/mute assistant. He acknowledges it, but treats it as if he simply forgot to feed the dog. Yeah, he does spend the remainder of the film trying to stop what he created, but it's too late. Lampshaded in the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode.

** Every time someone drives down that Certain Stretch Of Road (the dead giveaway would be those same two cars that are perpetually going the opposite direction).

* SoOkayItsAverage: An inferior imitation of ''Film/{{Them}}'', to be sure, but it's better than most ''MST3K'' movies and is even enjoyable in its own right.

--> '''Graves:''' I want to help out. I can't help but feel partially responsible for all of this.
--> '''Crow:''' Partially?!

** Grasshoppers crawling across a postcard of the Chicago skyline

* DesignatedHero: Ed Wainwright caused the whole thing, but only seems vaguely aware of this.
--> '''Wainwright:''' "In a way I feel responsible..."
--> '''Mike:''' "'In a way'?"

!!The [=MST3K=] presentation provides examples of:
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Frank's death.
-->"He's signing 'AAAAAUUUUUGH!!'"
** [[PreMortemOneLiner "When you wish upon a star!"]]
** "They've broken our code! And the sergeant was a Grasshopper undercover!"
** "Yeah, watch this: HEY FRANK!!!!"
** After a mysterious shot of a soldier standing in front of the camera for a few seconds, then walking off: "The director's brother-in-law, ladies and gentlemen!"
