Line 5:
According to some fans and critics who got their hands on the movie (circulated via bootleg video in comic-cons and such) not getting released was the best thing about it. Other viewers exhibit rabid devotion to it and demand its official video release. Most people are unaware that the film even exists.

=== Tropes found in this film include: ===
Line 18:
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Happens to [[Doctor Doom]] at the end.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: Alicia Masters is blind but when Ben Grimm bumps into her, she can "sense" that he feels sorry about it. Sure, she has no super powers to speak of and Ben did get through telling her how sorry he was, her blindness just gives her that ability to sense peoples' emotions somehow.
* [[Distracted
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Reed doesn't seem to react at all during the scene where the Four are irradiated, as opposed to the rather exaggerated reactions of the other three.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Doom's laugh is so epic that it appears in the background of a scene that has nothing to do with him, and even follows him to his death.
Line 33:
* [[Manly Tears]]: Reed starts to ball when the ER doctor tells him that Victor's burns "were too severe"
* [[May-December Romance]]: Reed's relationship with Sue should be this, although they don't look that much different in age once she grows up.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The movie is campy and owes a lot to the [[Batman (TV series)|old Adam West Batman series]] but we still see a surprisingly violent shootout between the Jewler's men and Doom's.
** When Ben wanders the streets, it's a surprisingly dark and depressing scene that might seem appropriate in some gritty 70's drama.
* [[No Budget]]: It was made for $1.4 million and on a shooting schedule lasting only one month, as its only purpose was keeping the filming rights.
Line 40:
* [[Shout-Out]]: A few examples:
** Believe it or not, the scene in which Sue grabs the zero-g pen while in space was obviously a direct homage of [[2001]].
** Then there's the line, [[Batman (TV series)|"Holy Freud, Batman."]] See the Personality Powers section for more info on that one.
** It may not have been on purpose but when Reed sees Sue for the first time since she grew up, it is almost identical to the shot in [[Blue Velvet]] in which the protagonist meets his love interest. [[David Lynch]] used the same shot in [[Eraserhead]].
* [[Spared
* [[Stalker
** Likewise, the Jewler has apparently been stalking her and falls in love with her.
* [[Take My Hand]]: Even in his moment of victory, Richards lacks the courage to deliver the final blow.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Kragstadt and Trigorin.
* [[Title Drop]]: Mrs. Storm does it with enthusiasm and little explanation.
* [[Urban Legend]]: Rumor has it that Marvel bought the film and locked the master copy in a vault so it would never see the light of day. Other accounts claim that Avi Arad ''[[Kill It
* [[Was Once a Man]]: Doom feels this way.
* [[What Happened to
