* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler: Octavio stabbing el Jarocho. After spending the first segment antagonizing him, making his dogs attack others, and then shooting the innocent Cofi, el Jarocho getting his just deserts is extremely satisfying]].

* SignatureScene: The ContrastMontage with Octavio having sex with Susana, while Ramiro is beaten to an inch of his life, is widely seen as the movie's most intense and iconic scene.
