Fridge Horror: The pilot of the crashed F-104 Starfire, being completely dressed (and parachute unused), either died right away from the crash or shortly after, possibly while being used as a toy, and was an MIA without a proper burial.
Fridge Logic: How old is that Brobdingnag girl if the plane was used (at the latest) by the USAF in 1969?
It could be a hand-me-down from an older sibling or her mom.
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Why the movie is something of a Presumed Flop, as in spite of terrible domestic box office ($42 million), international audiences actually made the film turn a profit ($237 million against a budget of $112 million).
Nightmare Fuel: The long-dead and skeletal US Air Force pilot in the Brobdingnag girl's doll house. Worse with fridge horror.
Signature Scene: The Brobdignag girl's dollhouse scene is the only thing most people remember about this film, and the first thing that pops up in YouTube's autosearch when the film is typed. That or Jack Black singing "War".
Trailer Joke Decay: The scene where General Edward gives Gulliver a giant Wedgie is played in a large portion of the promotional media, to the point it is not longer funny in the actual movie.
Took the Bad Film Seriously: Catherine Tate in her almost cameo appearance. She gets very little to work with as the Queen, but she does her best to make it funny. Compare with Billy Connolly, who's practically sleepwalking through the movie.
