- Memetic Badass: Rowsdower, in terms of popularity, might be up there with Torgo.
- Narm: "I'm Rowsdower. Zap Rowsdower!"
- Narm Charm: "I'm Rowsdower. Zap Rowsdower!"
- Snark Bait: The fate of any Mystery Science Theater 3000 target.
- So Bad It's Good: It's one of the few movies to appear on Mystery Science Theater 3000 that seems watchable on its own. Even Crow admits it's really not as awful as the usual MSTed flick. It's hard to truly hate this movie simply because you get the impression that the cast and crew really wanted to make a decent flick, but just couldn't afford to.
