* FollowTheLeader: The scene of Siegfried confronting the dragon and other special effects were borrowed and stolen from the Creator/DouglasFairbanks film ''[[Film/TheThiefOfBagdad1924 The Thief of Bagdad]]'', and it had a huge influence on Creator/SergeiEisenstein's historical films.



* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/FritzLang dedicated this movie to the German people in the opening credits, which becomes a lot more depressing when one considers that Lang, who has a Jewish background, would later leave Germany after the Nazis took over.



* ValuesDissonance: Audiences of the 1920’s probably saw Siegfried battling the dragon as a KnightInShiningArmor confronting an evil beast while modern audiences would probably perceive it as a EgomaniacHunter attacking an animal that is minding its own business.

* EvenBetterSequel: The second part, ''Kriemhild's Revenge'', is considered superior to the first part. This is mostly because of how different it is in tone, being DarkerAndEdgier and completely doing away with the supernatural aspects of ''Siegfried''.
