- Alternative Character Interpretation: With all the Les Yay, the movie practically invites you to view Debbie/Marcie/Ms. Frost as a tragic Love Triangle.
- Accidental Innuendo: Almost every mention of role-playing games in the film sounds ambiguous, especially when Nitro says with an orgasmic voice "this was the best role-playing game in my life!".
- Cult Classic: The role-playing community is so fond of this film and its literary original that for some people it has become one of the best works about RPG fans.
- Les Yay: Marcie is implied to be in love with Debbie. In one scene Debbie compliments Marcie's hands, saying that they would be great for casting spells, and Ms. Frost appears to harbor lustful feelings towards her as well. It reaches such a level that almost every scene between the girls can come across as homoerotic.
- Poor Man's Substitute: Anastasia Higham (Marcie) strongly resembles Anne Hathaway circa The Princess Diaries.
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: The movie being made in Attacking the Darkness is never named, and the few lines we see them recording don't actually appear in Dark Dungeons. That the two movies share a cast, set, and plot are presumably just coincidence.
- So Bad, It's Good: Obviously deliberately, but it also says that the original comic was so silly that the most authentic adaptation would be this.
- Tear Jerker: Marcie's preparing-for-suicide scene is surprisingly touching.
