| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Although the quality of the actual movie is questionable, there's no doubt that the end theme by Daniele Patucchi is the epitome of awesomeness. |
| 2 | * DesignatedHero: The Rider is selfish, sullen and whiny. Some dialogue tries to justify this by calling him "burnt out from all the conflict, only interested in survival." One might blame Creator/RobertGinty, who has the same acting "skills" in ''Film/TheExterminator'' films, where he plays another DesignatedHero who borders on VillainProtagonist. |
| 3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse[=/=]MemeticBadass: Megaweapon, especially when crushing [[TheScrappy Einstein]]. |
| 4 | * FanNickname: Courtesy of the film's appearance on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', Robert Ginty's character is very well known as "''Series/ThePaperChase1978'' Guy" and often referred to as such even more often than his official billing as "The Rider" (also despite it being a better moniker for Ginty himself rather than the character). |
| 5 | * HilariousInHindsight: While the movie was meant as a ''Film/MadMax'' ripoff, several elements of it (such as nature having regrown after the nuclear apocalypse, and society having been rebuilt as a totalitarian dystopia with an insurgent resistance against it) more closely resemble later YA dystopia fiction such as ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' or ''Literature/{{Divergent}}'' than more typical Post-Apocalyptic fiction. |
| 6 | * NarmCharm: Creator/DonaldPleasence is very clearly phoning in his performance, but this actually just ''increases'' his usual ColdHam tendencies while playing villains and serves to make him even creepier. |
| 7 | * TheScrappy: As previously mentioned, Einstein is rather loathed by viewers of the film due to the movie's attempts to make him "cute". |
| 8 | * StrangledByTheRedString: The Rider and Nastasia inexplicably get together at the end of the film, even though he was nothing but rude, selfish, and neglectful to her. In fact, the only reason she needed rescuing at the end of the film is because he refused to actually help her when it would have been rather simple to. Plus, she shot him. She had [[HeroicWillpower enough willpower]] to resist shooting her father [[spoiler: and shoot Prossor instead]], but not the Rider. One could speculate she wanted to shoot him. |
| 9 | * RootingForTheEmpire: Not for the Omega itself but Megaweapon, the near-invincible tank that works for them. Mainly because its first act is to violently murder [[TheScrappy Einstein]]. |
