* CreatorsOddball: Disney doing a raucous, slightly raunchy {{Comedy}} was way out of character in 1980, and its failure led them to shy away from that style again. But interestingly, tonewise it's not all that different from the Creator/DisneyChannel's house style for comedy shows and movies in the modern era.

* FollowTheLeader: This film was made by Disney during a time when they were in a cinematic slump due their films not being as successful as they used to be so in desperation, the House of Mouse took a gander at the amount of cash ''Film/AnimalHouse'' raked in and decided to release their own college comedy film aimed at an older audience. This was Disney's second film to have a PG rating after ''Film/TheBlackHole''. While Disney did eventually recover from this slump, ''Midnight Madness'' had nothing to do with it, being a critical and commercial failure and an OldShame for the company, though they would eventually come around when the film started gaining popularity.
Added DiffLines:
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film was originally titled ''The All-Night Treasure Hunt'' but was changed to avoid confusion with ''Film/ScavengerHunt1979''.
