* Philbin might deserve a minor note for keeping his head, immediately assessing that the Phantom was responsible for Beef's death (as opposed to some on-stage accident or something), and getting Phoenix on-stage quickly before anything else (well, one murder) could happen.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fICx5tE_EM Phoenix's audition]]. Just the fact that she shows up again after what happened the [[AttemptedRape first]] [[CastingCouch time]] is in itself badass, but when she first arrives everyone there is either hostile and/or looking down on her. What does she do? Knock their socks off with an awesome performance of course! YouGoGirl UpToEleven

* A meta one: that big machine in the page image? It's actually a single massive synthesizer called the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonto%27s_Expanding_Head_Band#The_TONTO_synthesizer TONTO]] synth. Not only does it ''still exist'' in restored form, due to its analog state, it's capable of creating music that modern technology will have some trouble with, and its capabilities are ably demonstrated in the film itself.

* After realizing that Swan has stolen his music again after waking up from a drug fueled night of composing, Winslow goes to confront Swan, only to find the door to the room being bricked. However, after letting out a scream that startles Beef, Winslow has an off screen crowing moment of awesome. Not only does he break through the bricked up door, he takes out the two bikers guarding it. [[spoiler: Looks like signing the contract gave Winslow some extra perks in addition to being unable to die.]]
