YMMV / Wolfen

• Adaptation Displacement: The movie is more known than the book.
• Award Snub: How was Gerry Fisher's cinematography not nominated for an Oscar?
• Awesome Music: James Horner provided the score.
  • Originally Craig Safan recorded an equally nightmarish score (which in a manner channels or was something of an early copy of the horror film score works by fellow movie composers Michael Kamen and Don Davis) that was later rejected.
• Older Than They Think: The film has the wolves using thermographic vision throughout the film. Come 1987, Predator borrows a similar look for its titular creature's POV.
• Referenced by...: Explicitly referenced by the Mooninites in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
  Ignignokt: Our god is an Indian that turns into a wolf.
  Err: Yeah, that's Wolfen, man.
  Ignignokt: Well...the Wolfen will come for you with his razor.
• Retroactive Recognition: Hey, that's Edward James Olmos! And that's his dick!
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: So our protagonists are okay with the Wolfen eating drug addicts and vagrants?
