Award Snub: Of course the movie earned both all the Razzies it won and was nominated for, but "Without You" (while ostensibly being written for award consideration clearly) is likely the only good thing to come out of the movie and wasn’t considered for awards (likely because of the movie it came from).
Awesome Music: The aforementioned "Without You" by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle is worthy of this. Most can agree that while this movie is awful, this song definitely isn't.
Bile Fascination: Given that Bill Cosby crucified the film before it ever saw the light of day, one naturally can't help but wonder why he did.
Designated Hero: Leonard Parker. Despite being the No. 1 Agentnote He actually says he's not as he retired seven years ago., he's hardly a hero; all he cares about is getting back with his wife, despite her having separated from him after she caught him cheating on her with another woman.note Though he claims nothing happened. After his wife gets kidnapped, he decides to give the sphere back to the bad guys and have his superiors attacked by rabbits after saying the word that triggers them.note Albeit after his ex-boss tries to have him killed as a test and that they want to use the sphere to control the world. While en route, they examine the Sphere's internals and Freyn notes that the liquid resembles dish washing liquid. This prompts them to stop at a supermarket to buy matching colors as a means of (failed) sabotage. He even threatens a lobster with melted butter in order to get his wife free.note The same lobster that was going to be used to maim and kill him and his wife earlier.
Leonard's outrage about his daughter dating a sexagenarian man has gotten extremely awkward because of Bill Cosby being convicted for dozens of counts of sexual assault. Making it doubly Squicky is that this was Cosby's Take That! at Lisa Bonet for doing Angel Heart.
Said conviction also makes the tagline on the DVD ("Our world is in safe hands") a rather ill-advised choice as well.
Also Leonard's line "I never laid a finger on that girl".
"Death to all mankind!" followed by a dummy falling off a wheelchair.
Considering what Cosby is known for these days, many have expressed mock-bafflement that this is what Cosby was ashamed of and not his sexual harassment of women.
When the frogs are jumping to cause the car to jump, the lifting mechanism can clearly be seen under the car.
Not to mention the extremely fake-looking tank shells Leonard fires at the massive steel door; they're clearly just edited into the shot in post and could give Superman IV: The Quest for Peace a run for its money.
One of the vegan henchmen having his head explode after eating a hot dog; instead of blood and guts, or something else analogous to blood, it explodes into sawdust.
Cosby's dancing Stunt Double has a fake belly that levitates to his chest when he leaps.
Squick: Leonard shaving one of the bird men as he hangs upside down could arguably be this.
What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The childish writing and nonsensical storytelling would seem to aim the movie being geared toward a younger audience, but things like a woman with her nipples showing through her bathing suit being apparently turned on as piranha swim under her in a suggestive manner while eating her lover, a woman in her 20s getting engaged to a man in his 60s, said woman performing in a show where she strips nude and a man having to win back his wife after having an affair with another woman are all things that suggest in an actually smartly written film, only an adult audience could appreciate those things.
What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: On the flip of that, the idea it was meant to also be taken seriously as an adult spy parody film is equally ludicrous. This especially with the villainess Medusa having a device that controls small animals and has them attacking her enemies—particularly when the lobsters are trying to attack and butter is used to threaten and hold them off. Also, the fact that Leonard escapes Medusa's exploding lair—which he destroys by means of a chain reaction through flooding it with Alka-Seltzer of all things—by riding out on an ostrich too.
WTH, Costuming Department?: Most of the costumes count as such, but Leonard's silver "battle suit" is especially laughable, boasting a helmet emblazoned with "Ipso Facto".
