Line 21:
* [[Needs More Love (Sugar Wiki)|Needs More Love]]: And A LOT of it. The movie itself is an homage/parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies, quite a risky move from today's California governor. Most things about which people complain, particularly its crappy and corny script during the in-movie scenes, are actually [[Self-Deprecation]] [[Played for Laughs|played for humor]].
* [[The Problem with Licensed Games]]:
** Although the film itself is a pretty interesting [[Deconstruction]] of action films, the developers of the tie-in game decided to play everything very straight. Admittedly, they weren't helped by [[Executive Meddling]] that prevented them from depicting Slater battling the enemies in any way other than via hand-to-hand combat — instead of the absurdly over-the-top array of weapons originally intended — forcing them to completely redesign the game into a more standard [[Beat 'em
** Of course, if you wanted to get meta with it, that's perfect because it's likely any ''Jack Slater'' video games sucked too.
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: At the time, [[Charles Dance]] (Mr. Benedict) was most well known for serious drama films, and he had an extremely limited presence in genre films. Nowadays, after the runaway success of ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' and Dance's memorable role as Tywin Lannister, he's a lot more recognizable to a mainstream audience viewing this film.
