* HilariousInHindsight: Of a dark humor sort. The idea that a corporate-run world would be a paradise where we lack for nothing -- save independent thought -- feels ''laughably'' naïve in today's world, where massive corporations have no problems screwing people to increase their profit margins (not to mention good old fashioned incompetency).

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Modern audiences may find it baffling why a corporation would want to stamp out individualism or not take advantage of Jonathan's popularity. This is due to the fact that modern neoliberal capitalist society encourages "individualism" (so long as it involves buying stuff to make you "stand out"), but this was less of a case for the pre-Reagan era business world which was associated with stifling conformity, which the film was critiquing.

Deleted line(s) 4 (click to see context) :
* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The 1975 version was a brutal, R-rated sci-fi dystopia/action film with a message against the glorification of violence, and is considered a classic. The 2002 remake, though, went through a truly epic TroubledProduction. A well-received script focusing on the social commentary was heavily rewritten, abandoning the sci-fi setting and the commentary in exchange for attempting a BloodierAndGorier modern sports film. Afterwards, much of the violence, gore, and nudity was reshot, edited out, and digitally censored to earn a PG-13 rating. The result was a remake hated by fans of the original, and an exploitation film too tame for exploitation fans. Reviews were savage, and the film bombed.

Misuse: simply complaining about the premise without giving evidence that it actually alienated people.
