These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: UHF
Americans Hate Tingle: Apparently Indians don't find the action-movie depiction of their former spiritual leader in the spoof trailer "Gandhi II" all that funny...
Dude, Not Funny!: Television broadcasts of the film edit out the bit in the "Crazy Eddie's Used Cars" commercial where he threatens to club a baby seal if he doesn't make a sale in the next hour. However, they keep the part where the young child gets blasted across the room by a fire hose.
The effect was done by the same people behind Large Marge.
Older Than They Think: In the post-analog world, this is pretty much the last place that even mentions UHF frequencies.
Vindicated by Cable: Ironically, it might have done better at the box office had Orion Pictures not been so excited by how well it performed at test screenings. They gave it a summer 1989 release that placed it amongst films like Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Ghostbusters II, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids and so on. Lost in the shuffle, it found its audience through its subsequent video release and TV airings.
As a result, and as Al sang in the commentary, "Orion! Orion! Is bankrupt, now!"
It was one of the top rentals after its release on VHS, and became a #1 seller when it was released on DVD.
