* SignatureScene: The Taggarts’ fighting the Creeper with their homemade harpoon gun (and their rematch with him a couple of scenes later) might be the best-regarded moment in the whole trilogy, let alone this movie.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Chelsea is fairly well-liked and decently acted, but has almost no plot relevance and is never named onscreen.

* CatharsisFactor: Jack Sr. spearing the Creeper through the head, then grabbing ''another'' spear and repeatedly stabbing him. After everything the monster had done (including killing Jack's son), it's absolutely ''gratifying.''

** The Taggarts receive a lot of love from the fans for providing some awesome moments and some powerful emotional scenes as well.
** ActionGirl Rhonda and LovableCoward Chelsea might have less plot prominence than their friend Minxie but are often better-liked.

well. Technically, the Taggarts are named first in the credits, but this is a BillingDisplacement, as they only have about half an hour of screen time.

Poor Mans Substitute is related to actors specifically in regards to their performance, not as a Verbal Tic to describe composers. Same goes for the Fridge tropes, which should be kept to their own namespace.


** The Taggarart's receive a lot of love from the fans for providing some good awesome moments and some powerful emotional scenes as well.

* FridgeBrilliance: In the epilogue, Jack Sr. has a dog lying next to his chair while he's watching the Creeper's corpse. Of ''course'' he does: he remembers how Mac ''always'' [[EvilDetectingDog barked in alarm]] when the creature was approaching, and is keeping his current dog close by so it can give him some advance warning when the thing starts waking up again.
* FridgeLogic: Why doesn't Jack Sr. blow up the Creeper instead of waiting for it to resurrect with the same pneumatic spear launcher he used 23 years before? The Creeper may be able to sustain heavy damage by stabbing, etc., but what about it getting blown to bits?
** Or how about sealing it in concrete or molten steel?
** Because he want it to ''know'' who it is who'll be tearing it a new one next time it wakes up.



* PoorMansSubstitute: It's pretty obvious the film's music composer Bennett Salvay is trying to emulate Music/DannyElfman and [[Franchise/FinalDestination Shirley Walker]] in his score.

* {{Sequelitis}}: The second film was not as well received as the first. Ironically, the whole premise of The Creeper ("every 23 years, for 23 days, it feeds") was written to avert this very thing, which led to ''Jeepers Creepers 2'' to be set ''days'' after the first. The third film, however, will be set 23 years later.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: There are those who feel that the second, while less subtly spooky, was far more thrilling and entertaining. It helps that, while we see the Creeper more often, the fact that it strikes from the air and disappears just as quickly made it more frightening.
