* NauseaFuel: All those exploded corpses...corpses definitely qualify as such. Doubles as NightmareFuel, especially if you're familiar with the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin Byford Dolphin]]'' disaster, in which one of the divers died in that [[ExplosiveDecompression exact same manner]].

*SpecialEffectFailure: The scene with [[spoiler:the hitman getting sucked out of the greenhouse window]] looks very obviously superimposed. It's a bit of shame, since the greenhouse scene looks ''gorgeous.''

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** Courtesy of the late, great Music/JerryGoldsmith. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN96jf-guSI Here's a sample]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_1O_JzPmGI The club music]], composed and performed by session musician Michael Boddicker, is also really good.
* FanonWelding:
** Some fans consider this an unofficial sequel to ''Film/{{Alien}}'', owing to the fact that it shares the same composer and production designers, as well as similar tropes (namely MegaCorp), not to mention that part of the space suits that appear in the film [[PropRecycling would be reused]] for the opening scene of ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
** Other fans see the film as an unofficial companion piece to ''Film/BladeRunner'' due to its UsedFuture design aesthetic, similar tropes (again, MegaCorp), and the fact that both films share the same production company. Under this interpretation, the holographic dancers in the bar are, in fact, [[ArtificialHuman replicants]].
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/SeanConnery gets perhaps the most emotionally vulnerable moment of his career when O'Neil explains why he's sticking around for the showdown and after his conversation with his son.
* {{Narm}}:
** It gets ''really obvious'' O'Niel's kid's actor was reading from a script, and the forced "mommy says..." are bad enough. [[NarmCharm Nevertheless]], O'Niel's reaction makes it [[TearJerker heartbreaking]].
** The rather goofy way people's faces inflate before exploding in a way that would make [[Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] proud.
* NauseaFuel: All those exploded corpses...
* NightmareFuel: How the PDE affects people differently. Caine just decides out of the blue to go for a spacewalk without an environment suit. He even seals the elevator preventing other people from stopping him. The whole time he's smiling, right up to when the elevator starts its descent. The worse part being that there was no way to override the elevator controls once the airlock was sealed; all anyone who had tried to stop Caine could do was watch helplessly, knowing he wouldn't survive the trip down.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Creator/ClarkePeters as [[spoiler:TheHeavy FinalBoss who fought Creator/SeanConnery to the death until his own DisneyVillainDeath]].
** It's a little known fact that Creator/JohnRatzenberger as the miner who experienced a case of severe arachnophobia at the beginning of the movie.
