YMMV: Honey I Shrunk The Kids
  • "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The episode from the TV series in which Owen and Bret Hart guest star is kind of depressing and awkward to watch now in light of Owen's accidental death from a stunt gone wrong and Bret's stroke (facilitated by the concussions that forced him into retirement from wrestling).
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The bit with the scorpion.
  • Moment Of Awesome: Diane achieves this in Honey, I Blew Up The Kid by ORDERING Dr. Hendrickson and the pilot of the helicopter he's in to desist from their mission (it helps that she's been turned into a 50-foot-tall woman by a reversal of the shrink ray):
    Diane: BACK OFF!
    Helicopter Pilot: Yes, ma'am.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Near the end of Honey, I Blew Up The Kid, Dr. Hendrickson plans to shoot Adam with tranquilizer darts from a helicopter. As they're currently in downtown Las Vegas, the copter pilot protests that if one of the darts hits the giant baby Adam, there's a chance he might fall into the gathered crowd. Then Dr. Hendrickson crosses the line from Jerkass to Complete Monster with one statement:
    Dr. Hendrickson: Well, we'll just have to hope that doesn't happen.
  • Paranoia Fuel: You'll never eat your breakfast the same way again.
  • Tear Jerker: Anty's Heroic Sacrifice. Ron's reaction makes it even worse.
  • Ugly Cute: Anty.
