YMMV / Brewster McCloud

Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Perhaps with a side of Poignant In Hindsight, but the opening credits sequence has Daphne Heap rehearsing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Astrodome, then berating the all-Black band, leading them to rebel against her and play "Lift Every Voice and Sing" instead. In 2020, in recognition of racial justice issues, the NFL played "Lift Every Voice and Sing" before every game in the first week of the season, and they've also had it performed at other high profile games (including the Super Bowl) since then.
  • Nausea Fuel:
    • The bird droppings on the murder victims.
    • In-universe, when Suzanne finds Weeks' body, she throws up. Then she immediately makes the audience queasy by kissing Bernard.
  • Periphery Demographic: In-universe, Abraham Wright is a big Sesame Street fan.
  • Special Effect Failure: You can see the wires on Brewster's flying machine in a couple of the close-ups during the climax.
