The Book
- Hilarious in Hindsight: One copy of the book from the 1970's advertises on the cover, "The Science Fiction Masterpiece That Predicted the Rise of the Flower Children!"
The 1960 Movie
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Considering the familiar accent that Alan Young skillfully provided for his character, he sure gave it to more popular use many years later.
- Can you even guess what Rod Taylor's voiceover narration connected with a year later?
- Misaimed Fandom: Of course the Morlocks are evil and the Eloi are good!
- Special Effects Failure: Granted, it was 1960, but the nuking of London look painfully like a model. The early episodes of Doctor Who actually look better.
The 2002 Movie
- Funny Background Event: In the 2030 library, one of the extras (a woman scolding her son) can be heard to say "...or so help me I'll resequence your genome!"
- Hype Backlash: Marketing for the film constantly remind us that Simon Wells is HG's great grandson. While Simon has proven himself to be a talented director, his work may be better suited to making Animated Feature Films.
- Misaimed Fandom: Of course the Morlocks are Magnificent Bastards and the Eloi are Idiot Heroes!
- Narm: "The Uber-Morlock"? Really?
- Took the Bad Film Seriously: The Trope Namer, specifically Guy Pearce, at least according to Roger Ebert.
