YMMV / The Castle

Go To

The 1997 movie:

  • Harsher in Hindsight: The Kerrigan's Arab neighbour Farouk threatening to get a friend to blow up the people harassing him, then quietly admitting to Daryl that he can do no such thing, but everyone believes all Arabs are terrorists, is a lot less funny in the wake of The War on Terror and the constantly escalating racial profiling and harassment of anyone of middle-eastern appearance.
  • Memetic Mutation: The movie is iconic among Australian audiences, and a lot of quotes from it ("Tell 'im he's dreamin'!") have become part of Australian vernacular.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Steve is played Anthony Simcoe, two years before he gained international recognition as Ka D'Argo on Farscape.
