  • Awesome Music: The film's eponymous theme song performed by none other than, whaddya know, The Presidents of the United States of America.
  • Best Known for the Fanservice: Aside from its catchy theme song, the film is perhaps most remembered for Hallie's sexy pink minidress. In recent years, custom made versions of the dress have been made by various clothing designers. Following the film's release, actress Elisabeth Harnois stated that whenever she was recognized in public, the dress was the main thing people wanted to talk about.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Hallie's iconic pink mini-dress or Will Friedle are pretty much the only thing that people remember about this film.
  • LGBT Fanbase: If social media is any indicator, the scene featuring Hallie's pink dress reveal was responsible for the sexual discovery of many female viewers within the LGBT community.
  • Signature Scene: The scene when Hallie emerges from a dressing room now wearing her sexy pink dress is perhaps the most iconic scene of the movie, as it was shown in a lot of the promos.
  • Vindicated by Reruns: While it first premiered on ABC's revival of The Wonderful World of Disney, the film gained its popularity after being shown on Disney Channel during the early 2000s. This has led to the common misconception that the film is a Disney Channel Original Movie.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: All the scenes involving the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial were accomplished through the use of green screens.
  • WTH, Costuming Department?: Despite the cult following it has gained over the years, one would figure that Hallie's pink minidress would be too sexy for the Disney Channel network. Actress Elisabeth Harnois was initially hesitant to wear it for this very reason.
