- Simpson’s later murders dominate the aging-worst discussion; the third film’s proximity to the1994killings makes the comic role difficult to separate from real life.
- The opening world-leader caricatures depend on once-familiar news faces that younger audiences may not recognize.
- The full-body safe-sex condom gag is disliked even in its original context.
- Presley’s limited later career disappoints one view of her potential; another questions whether the role demonstrated transferable acting ability, while defending her hurt reaction to the garter belt.
