- Awesome Music:
- "The Night" by Toni Basil (Phoebe), who also gets to show off her dancing skills, which are as good as ever.
- "Budpest by Blimp" by Thomas Dolby (Stanley).
- Ham and Cheese: Toni Basil is just a whirlwind in most of her scenes, and Thomas Dolby has Evil Brit down to a fine art, with gusto to spare.
- Quirky Work: Just try describing the plot of Rockula to your average moviegoer. Centuries-old vampire can go out in the daytime by just putting on sunblock, and he tries to court his reincarnated lost love by... forming a rock band with Bo Diddley, only to be met with resistance from his rival, Thomas Dolby, who owns a cryogenic coffin store from the future. That moviegoer will have either already mentally checked out by this point, or demand to see this crazy film.
- So Bad, It's Good: Aside from the fact that the movie has shown its age, it does have a small cult following that enjoys some of its elements. From the rather ridiculous plot, to some of the cheesy songs, as well as the Ralph's deformed bat transformation.
