* ManipulativeEditing: Done at one point to show Slater's daughter beating a goon up while screaming like a lunatic the entire time all for Critic to be surprised and confused. It cuts out the reason she continues screaming while fighting him off, due to her being taken into another room, so her screaming is to make it sound like the goon she's beating up is still hurting her, in order to get the drop on Benedict and his men.

* RedundantParody: The Critic seems completely unaware the movie is a comedy, and half the complaints are just pointing at jokes and calling them absurd. Most blatantly he does a NarrowedItDownToTheGuyIRecognize joke about F. Murray Abraham, which is a RunningGag in the movie.

'''Critic:''' ''(as Carney-as-Nick, laughs)'' I can't believe this is my last performance.
** After the "[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog Sonic Says]]" dub:
--->'''Nick:''' This ticket has a mind of its own. It does what it wants to do.\\
'''Critic:''' ''(as Carney-as-Nick)'' Just like my penis. ''(breaking character)'' Art Carney, I'm sorry! You're a TV inspiration, and clearly, I got some growing up to do! ''(cries)''
** When Slater and Danny meet for the first time:
--->'''Slater:''' Then close your eyes, stay flat and don't move.\\
'''Critic:''' ''(on the verge of tears)'' That's just what Art Carney says! OK, I'm done! I'm done! No more Art Carney jokes, I'm done!

-->'''Jack Slater:''' Hey, you want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of acres. ''(kicks a {{Mook}} away via GroinAttack)''\\
'''Critic:''' Yeah!... ''(realizes what Slater said makes no sense)'' I'm sorry, could you repeat that? ''(clip of Slater's line repeats)'' What... does that... mean? I mean, Arnold's lines are corny, but they usually make sense! Is it because "acres" sounds like "aches"? Is it because he kicked him so far it's like the distance of an acre? Are his balls the acres? I mean, what's the joke?! Arnold, you can't just say random phrases and expect them to magically be funny -- you gotta think about them first. It's like saying, "You want to be an astronaut? ...Trix are for kids!" ''(throws a punch)''
