* The standoff between Dragon Sound and Jeff's gang near the beginning of the film is ''awful'' in the best of ways. Since a lot of the dialogue is improvised, no one knows what to say so you have Mark and Jeff are struggling to have a believable conversation, stumbling over each other the whole time. Meanwhile all the other actors are awkwardly standing around waiting for the camera to stop rolling. Some are kinda just standing around, others are brandishing their weapons and Jane in particular is just swaying back and forth since she has nothing to say or do. When the scene finally ends, an ADR of Mark comes up yelling out "You don't scare me at all! At all! Goodbye." Just try getting through that without cracking a smile.

* Metatextually, when the film was rediscovered, Drafthouse Films called Y.K. Kim for permission to distribute it. He hung up on them, thinking it was a joke. ''Multiple times.''

* The music scenes. Not just because the songs are overflowing with 80s charm but because out of all the cast members faking playing their instruments, YK Kim himself manages to try very hard, yet at the same time look like he's not even bothering to try.

* The movie's message, as spelled out on its title card, is one of peace... a title card presented not moments after a conclusion involving the heroes brutally exacting revenge on a ninja gang and the gang's BadBoss decapitating one of his own men. The MoodWhiplash is just amazing.
