Here's probably one of the more contentious scenes (major spoilers for the ending of the film) To play a bit of a devil's advocate that reaction specifically also seems a dig at the then contemporary Crying Game 'revelation' scene of running off to the toilet to vomit in disgust (to the extent of playing the theme tune over the disgusted reactions), which was treated without much criticism at the time, so I'd give that a bit of a pass for at least highlighting the absurdly over the top nature of such a reaction! I'm less thrilled about the rather flippant and cruel dismissive treatment of Sean Young's character as a whole though (even if the character does get to brutally beat up Ventura just before!), but then that could be argued to be the way that many comedy films in their haste to celebrate the victory often end up treating their antagonists as less than human once their heroes inevitably gain the upper hand again.
