YMMV / Blue Monkey

• Nausea Fuel: Doesn't even begin to describe it. Particularly the part where the doctors attempt to revive Adams using defibrillators, and his chest explodes in a shower of blood, drenching the terrified physicians.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Joey is played by Stuart Stone, who would later go on to become better known for voicing Ralphie on The Magic School Bus.
  • A young Sarah Polley plays one of the kids.
• The Scrappy: Just about everyone who has seen Blue Monkey agrees that Joey and the other kids are the worst characters — a quartet of blatant Kid Appeal Characters in a movie that definitely isn't for children, who end up kickstarting the plot by feeding the mysterious insect larva an entire bottle of growth hormones clearly labeled as biohazardous. And no, they're never punished or reprimanded for it, either.
