The Film
- Awesome Music: Jerry Goldsmith does it again, with "Theme From Powder" being especially beautiful. Sarah Brightman's Timeless album even features No One Like You, a song that uses the theme with lyrics by David Zippel.
- Overshadowed by Controversy: Whatever impact Powder might have had commercially was damaged by director Victor Salva's sex-offender record and the related boycott against the film.
The video game
- Demonic Spiders: Cockatrices, green dragons and water elementals.
