  • The TV reporter questioning Cobretti's tactics after the supermarket mass murder is repeated as aged worst.
  • Brigitte Nielsen's wig makes her look like Robert Plant, perhaps to differentiate her from Drago's wife.
  • The robot fashion montage, cut against Stallone on Skid Row, is laughably out of date; the robots are Stallone's heat check after Pauley's robot.
  • Robert Tepper's Angel of the City montage is a drop-off after No Easy Way Out from Rocky IV, though the song is liked now.
  • Casting the Dirty Harry villain as Stallone's cop foil and having Stallone punch him is called cruel, an overt shot at Dirty Harry that did the actor dirty.
  • Feel the Heat by Jean Bevoir plays over the second montage; it is then liked and moved to aged best, 'Apex Mountain from music'.
  • An original ending would have revealed a satanic tattoo marking the Dirty Harry actor's character as the real leader of the New Order; the host who read about it was bummed out, while the other, 'going the other way', says it would have been a great ending, and wishes there had been more spitballing for a better version.
