** The film's claim that virtual reality will be in widespread use by the turn of the millennium, and especially Jobe's claim that ''everyone'' will be using VR by the year 2001, can only be described as a laughably bad prediction, and/or one that may be more than a decade off.

** Which is a reference to the brand name of a real head-mounted display built by [=VPL=] in the early 1990s, heavily featured in the first movie (in pretty much every scene with virtual reality equipment, [[ProductPlacement you can see the VPL logo somewhere]]). Incidentally, when [=VPL=] went bankrupt, its patents were acquired by Thomson, which is why a scene of [[JohnnyMnemonic another 1990s cyberpunk movie]] makes a reference to "Thomson Eyephones".

* NarmCharm: The CGI may be outdated by today's standards, with the infamous VR Jobe's scene looking laughably poor by modern standards. But some can argue that the outdated CGI actually enhances the NightmareFuel of some scenes, especially with said VR Jobe scene.

** The Genesis port is a {{reformulated|Game}} version of the SNES game. While the virtual reality segments push the limits of what the console is capable of, the game nonetheless highlights how much weaker the console is in comparison to the SNES, particularly in its sound and photo compression.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: As [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] put it, the decision to release a sequel to a film that was both four-years-old and only a modest hit didn't put ''The Lawnmower Man 2'' on a good footing from the start. The decision to then make it PG rated to attract an audience that probably didn't see the original, and have it star a cast of [[KidAppealCharacter Kid Appeal Characters]] while only bringing back one minor actor from the first film killed its chances outright.
