The Black Hole/YMMV


 * Alternate Character Interpretation: Did Maximillian abandon Dr. Reinhardt at the end, or did he just not have the ability to send the elevator back up? Either is possible for such a cold and murderous machine.
 * For that matter, Reinhardt mutters "protect me from Maximillian" at one point; he may just be trying to play the sympathy card on Kate, or Max may really be the one in charge.
 * Everybody Is Jesus in Purgatory:.
 * Special Effect Failure: While most of the film still holds up today, the wires holding up V.I.N.CENT and the actors are often plainly visible.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: This was the first Disney movie to bear a PG rating. This trope ultimately led to the creation of Touchstone Pictures, to deal with more adult fare. Further, there was no PG-13 rating until 1984, meaning that PG included everything just short of being rated R (other films that were rated PG include Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (yes, with the hearts getting ripped out) and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (with the mind-controlling parasites that crawl in your ear and the murder victims hanging from the ceiling). The notion of a PG-rated Disney film in which characters are brutally Killed Off for Real and the last few minutes consist of an idealized depiction of Hell, was extremely controversial in 1979 and was a primary reason why the film underperformed: diehard sci-fi fans ignored it because, well, it was Disney, and many parents kept their kids at home rather than take them to a PG-rated Disney film (in the pre-home video age, parents had a lot more control over what their kids were exposed to).
