Genre Shift | |
| Without Warning (1980) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: Well, subgenre shift. It starts out the same as most other slasher films which were starting to get popular at the time, but it plays out like a suspenseful monster flick instead. | |

Bathroom Stall Graffiti | |
| Without Warning (1980) / int_222ca815 | comment |
Bathroom Stall Graffiti: A graffiti in men's lavatory at the gas station reads "No chance, no help, no escape", which catches Sandy's attention, and she asks Sarge who runs into her there about its meaning. He later repeats the phrase to himself as he gets more unhinged. | |

Aliens Are Bastards | |
| Without Warning (1980) / int_3a90dc63 | comment |
Aliens Are Bastards: The extraterrestrial in this film certainly qualifies as a "bastard," not caring whether its randomly-chosen victims are armed or not, rather unlike the aliens depicted in a later franchise with a similar premise. | |

Plunger Detonator: Joe rigs an explosive trap inside the shack that The Alien uses to store its game, which ends on a plunger detonator. For dramatic purposes, it fails on the first push because the wirings were off. | |
