* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: Alan Bagh (who plays Rod) seems hyperconscious of the camera, trying his ''hardest'' not to look into it. The fellows at [[Riff Trax]] imply he's an alien learning to walk like a human for the first time. The Village Voice review says it seems like Bagh is in his first class of ESL. |

** The guns' recoil, muzzle flash, and sound effects are almost never timed so that any two of them occur at the same time. And instead of making the birds an [[He Who Must Not Be Seen|unseen, mysterious enemy]], which would have worked on their budget, the birds are always shown in broad daylight, for long, extended takes, revealing every possible flaw in their looping animations. |
