YMMV / Innerspace

• Awesome Music:
  • Jerry Goldsmith's score is so sweet, though it borrows heavily from his own Explorers from two years earlier.
  • "Cupid" and "Twistin' The Night Away" by Sam Cooke. Rod Stewart's cover of the latter song, which played over the end credits. Then there's The Spinners' "Cupid".
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The dancing scene to "Twistin' the Night Away" in Tuck's apartment is this, ignoring the seriousness to the situation (and giving the audience a break).
• Demographically Inappropriate Humor: Mr. Igoe puts on a new hand attachment while on a hot date with Dr. Canker. We hear it vibrating off-screen. Dr. Canker looks pleased to see it.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • Tuck crying Tears of Joy when he finds out Lydia's pregnant.
  • Tuck's return to full size, him embracing Lydia after the ordeal and hugging Jack like a friend. In the course of a 24 hour period, he made a new friend he wouldn't have met through any other circumstances and has reconnected with his ex-girlfriend and knowing he's about to become a father.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: This wouldn't be the last time Vernon Wells has a bad experience caused by lab scientists.
• One-Scene Wonder: Gravel-voiced, longtime character actress Kathleen Freeman steals the show as the Dream Lady.
• Strawman Has a Point: The Big Bad actually monologues to Jack that miniaturization would revolutionize the world, making whoever developed it fantastically rich - one word: Nanomachines. And the government is only developing it to fit schmutzes like Jack with sensory-jacking surveillance equipment. Reed Richards Is Useless at its best/worst. He's not Unintentionally Sympathetic because he works for violent criminals and dictators, but he's not wrong either.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The Cowboy's theme is suspiciously like an Ennio Morricone Spaghetti Western score.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The FX still holds up today, especially the heart valve scene.^note The obvious matte FX don't, though. The film actually won an Academy Award for Special Effects, and has been the only film from Dante's filmography to win an Oscar.
