  • Accidental Innuendo: I mean, seriously, One-Eyed Willie. That's like a thirty-innuendo pile-up waiting to happen.
  • Cult Classic: Another one of the 80s kid adventure films
  • Magic Franchise Word: "Hey you guys!"
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • Recently spawned a string of indie T-shirts in the UK, bearing slogans such as 'Sloth love Chunk' and 'Do the Truffle Shuffle!'
    • And on YTMND, there are various sites based around Chunk, like "Chunk is Indestructable", where Captain Picard from Star Trek First Contact tries to shoot down Chunk, and "Chunk Addresses Congress", where Chunk chastises the US Congress over the War in Iraq.
    • "HEY YOU GUYS!!!"
  • Ho Yay: The scene where Steph is comforting Andy when the gang encountered the skeleton of Chester Copperpot. Highlighted by Martha Plimpton in the commentary: "This is our love scene right here..."
  • Nightmare Fuel: The "It" in the basement. The pirate ship has a bunch of these with all the surprises and skeletons.
  • Special Effect Failure:
    • The reason for cutting the scene of the octopus, which was about as threatening as a bathtub toy.
    • On the DVD Commentary, Jeff Cohen berates Richard Donner for one unfortunate bluescreen shot of the kids standing in front of the beach coastline.

 Jeff Cohen: The worst bluescreen effect in the history of filmmaking!

Corey Feldman: Hey I saw Superman, and I believed a man could fly.

Jeff Cohen: You could show a man flying through the air, but couldn't show a bunch of kids standing in front of a coast?
