* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Creator/WarnerBros had so little faith in the film that, in an unprecedented move, it offered its first-time producer Creator/WarrenBeatty 40% of the gross instead of a minimal fee. The movie then went on to gross over $50 million. Jack L. Warner, who was already angry with Beatty over past disagreements, despised the film and clashed frequently with Beatty throughout the film's production. During his screening of the film, Warner excused himself three times use the restroom and later called it "a three piss picture".

* VindicatedByHistory: The violent demise of the title two characters was considered a dealbreaker for a number of critics at the time the movie was released, who argued that the film glorified violence. Not too long after, the sheer brutality of the scene instead became praised for its audacity, and the other aspects of the film were viewed in a more positive light.

* OlderThanTheyThink: This was actually the second biographical film about the couple, after 1958's ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Parker_Story The Bonnie Parker Story]]'', where she teams up with [[NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed "Guy Darrow"]] and his gang. Likewise, films on the OutlawCouple trope inspired by the duo include Creator/FritzLang's ''You Only Live Once'' and Joseph H. Lewis' BMovie classic ''Film/GunCrazy''. The latter film features much of the Freudian subtext between guns and sex in this film, and indeed Creator/FrancoisTruffaut made the film's screenwriters watch that film during his brief involvement during pre-production. There was also Edward Anderson's 1937 novel ''Thieves Like Us'', which was adapted by Creator/NicholasRay in 1948 as ''They Live By Night'' (and [[Film/ThievesLikeUs remade under the novel's title]] by Creator/RobertAltman in 1974).
