YMMV / Split Second (1992)

• Alternative Character Interpretation: About the creature and its origins, since a] it never talks, and b] all information about it is pure speculation by the main characters. Is it a shapeshifting human serial killer? Some sort of rat-demon from hell? A predatory space alien similar to the polymorph from Red Dwarf?
• Complete Monster: The Serial Killer plaguing London is revealed to some form of demonic, alien creature who commits his murders to devour the souls of innocents. The killer routinely tears out the hearts of citizens and consumes them, using the resulting blood to paint satanic, mocking messages for the police. He murdered Harley Stone's beloved partner in the past, and when the killer begins his spree again, he torments and taunts Stone over the death of his partner. Eventually kidnapping Stone's Love Interest, the killer tries to murder her, Stone, and his new partner as well so nothing will stand in the killer's way from murdering more people.
• Fanon: Harley Stone isn't just a Fake Brit played by Rutger Hauer; he's a Dutchman born Harold van der Steen who emigrated to London after the far more severe flooding in his famously below sea level country.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Literally a year later after the movie was made, a certain videogame would have a gun literally called BFG, along with a fitting fan nickname "Big Fucking Gun".
• Humor Dissonance: There's a very odd part midway through the movie where Dick Durbin starts laughing his ass off at Harley Stone's name. While the name is kind of over the top, it's nowhere near as funny as he seems to think it is. It could be that it's not meant to actually be funny, but rather, evidence of Durbin's Sanity Slippage.
• Memetic Mutation: "We need bigger fucking guns!"
• So Bad, It's Good: If you gave a hyperactive 10-year-old boy $7,000,000 and a case of Mountain Dew, this is exactly the movie he'd make; it strikes the perfect balance between breathtakingly stupid and cool as hell. Pop it in, fix some daiquiris, and have a ball.
• Spiritual Adaptation: As Den of Geek pointed out, this is probably the closest we'll get to a pure rated-R Venom movie.
