* FashionDissonance: A sort of inversion with the buzzcuts Blanks and Copeland are unhappy they end up with. In TheEighties, a buzzcut would be seen as extremely unfashionable, and no one outside of the army or PrematurelyBald would have their hair that short. By modern standards, they look fine.

''Eeeugh''. This scene was part of why Donovan Scott noped out of reprising his role as Leslie Barbara from the first film (the character was then rewritten into Schtulman).

* FairForItsDay: The films and especially the first one, was made in the 80's so there's a lot of anti-gay language even from heroic characters that wouldn't fly today. On the other hand, there's a lot of racism directed at black characters that is meant to be bad, in a "hey, don't do this" kind of way.
