1* HilariousInHindsight: Though in a minor extent, the concept of an entirely female-dominated world (with a few men) is later joked in one of the [[Franchise/LoveLive Anime series]].
2* MemeticMutation: In Poland it's actually more of a FountainOfMemes.
3** "Darkness, I see darkness!" [[note]]After getting woken up, protagonists suffer from temporary blindness, and try to communicate that.[[/note]]
4** [[IWasBeatenByAGirl "A woman is beating me!"]].
5** "Copernicus was a woman!"[[note]]Response of a Women League representative when Albert says that men were the overwhelming majority of scientists and scholars whom we owe scientific discoveries and progress, bringing Copernicus up as an example. He follows with Einstein to get the same response, then Maks desperately calls [[UsefulNotes/MarieCurie Sklodowska-Curie]]. The sentence works far better in Polish because of the feminine "was".[[/note]]
6** "[[{{UsefulNotes/Russia}} Let's go east]] -- there's bound to be ''some'' civilization there!". [[note]]This was so obvious the early run censored the scene with that sentence.[[/note]]
7** "There may be permilles in it!"[[note]]Lamia, seeing the sea for the first time in her life, sits in shallow water and strokes it gently, only for Maks to try to warn her that it may be contaminated. However, instead of referring to any specific, poisonous substance, he shouts about "permilles". What makes it funny is that permille is a standard unit for measuring the volume of alcohol in your blood. Jerzy Stuhr, actor who played Maks, actually made a reference to his own line when voicing Donkey in ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2''.[[/note]]
8** "Morning, is Yola in?" [[note]]This is apparently what you say when [[ClosetShuffle being found in a wardrobe]].[[/note]]
9* MisaimedHatedom: After being screened in cinemas in the West, this movie got a lot of flak from feminist community, who deemed it as "fascist" and "sexist", even claiming that they were "manipulated" by it, since they actually found themselves [[RootingForTheEmpire rooting for the male leads]] while watching it. This is despite the fact that this movie has absolutely ''nothing'' in common with feminism or sexism and is purely a satire on totalitarian communist regime that still held Poland it its grip at the time of the movie's making and release. Choosing to portray it via fictional female-only society was an element of form, rather than substance ([[GettingCrapPastTheRadar and means of fooling communists censors]]), therefore criticising it for being "sexist" that way makes just as much sense as claming that ''Literature/AnimalFarm'' tried to tell us that animals ([[MakesSenseInContext or pigs and dogs, at the very least]]) are inherently evil. Then again, such reaction is somewhat understandable, given the fact that said flak -- see above -- came from ''Western'' feminist community, who had little to no contact with harsh reality of Eastern Bloc of the time, making oh so many more or less subtle jabs at the communist regime fly right over their heads.
10* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The film received a video game adaptation, ''A.D. 2044'', in 1991 for Platform/Atari8BitComputers, which was remade for UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows in 1996. The second game especially was criticized as a poor clone of ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'', with a badly translated narrative, models that fall into the UncannyValley, and poorly mixed music and dialogue. It also added a new AdaptationExpansion that falls into Unfortunate Implications, where the few remaining men in the world are hunted and are subject to [[EasySexChange forced sex change surgery]].
