Wild in the Streets

Go To

  • Anvilicious: It would be wrong for society to punish all adults because we all become adults someday. Gee, you don't say.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Over fifty years after this film's release, another young man (aged 25) named "Max" Frost would be elected to the House of Representatives, becoming the first member of Generation Z to serve in the United States Congress!
    • The film's tagline of "If you're thirty, you're through!" could just as easily apply to the film adaptation of Logan's Run, released eight years later.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The entire movie premise operated during a time when Boomers were seen as the liberal-leaning young-adult generation. In an ironic sense, Boomer generation in the United States would become a lynchpin of politics after 1980's albeit in their older age and more conservative political stance.
