Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series was very popular in Europe for a time (Italy and France especially), but remains hardly known in the US (as such, their appearance in City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes in 2019 flew over many people's heads). And in Japan, although regarded as a classic, its notoriety remains limited as well.

Awesome Moments: General finally getting the upper paw on the evil troll and sending him flying straight into a box fan. Crosses with Crowning Moment of Funny when General does this by switching a record player to spin too fast for the troll to cling to it, so that the climax is scored with The Police running at 78 RPM. Also some Suspiciously Apropos Music; The specific song is "Every Breath You Take" and the troll kills children by "stealing their breath."
Crosses the Line Twice: Hearing the *SPLAT!* as Cressner hits the sidewalk will have you cringing. Hearing the flat *HONK!* as he happens to hit the horn he dropped earlier will have you laughing at the same time.
Harsher in Hindsight: Try watching the Quitter's Inc. segment after reading King's other short story, "The Ten O' Clock People", where balancing how much you smoke allows you to see the Bat-people.
Heartwarming Moments: General hopping up and giving the sleeping Amanda a kiss, and getting a big hug in return, provides a most upbeat ending to a Stephen King movie.
Narm Charm: The climax of the final segment: psychic housecat defeats miniature troll threatening girl by tricking it onto a record player playing The Policeat 78 RPM that spins so fast it goes flying into a fan. It's hilarious and badass all at once.
Nightmare Retardant: Rare in a Stephen King film; the miniature troll is supposed to be a gruesome little beast, and certainly looks the part, but then Frank Welker's unmistakable voice comes out of it. It significantly tones down the Nightmare Fuel.
