** And nobody can agree on exactly what chord it is. Entire armies of guitarists keep trying to repeat it.[[note]]It's basically a G9 with an F in the root position, played on a 12-string electric, but that's not ''quite'' it, because it's two guitars at the same time, and they aren't both playing the same voicing. Try playing (from the bottom string up) FCFACG and you're getting there.[[/note]]

* When John, Paul and George find out that Ringo has been wrongfully detained, they head out to pull the BigDamnHeroes thing. Hilariously, [[NoTimeToExplain instead of explaining the situation]], they just get the police to chase after ''them'', too. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome All to a delightfully unexpected reprise of "Can't Buy Me Love."]]

* The film itself arguably counts. It was intended to be a cheap quickie to cash in on a pop phenomenon that no one really serious to last much further beyond the end of the year it was made. Over fifty years later, it's still well-loved and often considered not just one of the best rock music films of TheSixties, but one of the best ''films'' of TheSixties period.

* The ''Oxford English Dictionary'''s [[http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/81801?redirectedFrom=grotty#eid entry on the word "grotty"]] cites John Burke's novelization of this movie as the earliest example of the word in print. Since Burke's novelization was based on Alun Owen's script, which in turn was largely based on the Beatles' own conversations, this means that the band officially ''added a word to the English language'' with this movie.

* The opening guitar riff at the start of the movie, with the boys getting chased by fans in a pure expression of what Beatlemania was really like. Rock n roll movies were never the same after that.
