* CultClassic: The film has gained a lot of fans online over the years, especially for people interested in xenofiction with more mature themes and content, and/or adult-oriented animation that ''isn't'' in the comedy genre. The books have gained a minor cult following too, though to a leser extent as they're even more obscure than the film, plus most of them haven't received foreign translations.

The cat seen at the end of the film wasn't Nhozemphtekh, but a different cat of a similar breed.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The sex scene, which comes literally out of nowhere, with a character we'd ''never seen before'', and thoroughly distracts the protagonist from his hunt for the killer. [[spoiler:Her breed - which he does not recognize - does get him thinking about the case eventually, though, and ultimately points him toward the real killer.]] To be fair, it is pretty realistic behavior for cats, and [[spoiler:they are seen together as the film ends, implying a more regular relationship may happen between them]].

* TheScrappy: Nhozemptekh is unpopular with fans, and is especially loathed by Francis/Felicity shippers.

** Selectively breeding domestic creatures to create something similar to their wild ancestors is a real practice called breeding-back. Its scope, however, is somewhat limited - Tamaskan dogs, for example, bear about as strong a resemblance to wolves as can be gained without actually introducing wolves into the breeding program, yet behaviorally and temperamentally they are still more like dogs than wolves (which is exactly what Tamaskan breeders want anyway, so it works out).
** Recreating a wildcat type would likely be incredibly easy, as domestic cats are closer in both behavior and appearance to their ancestors than dogs are, and a cat who has had little to no human contact will tend to act quite wild anyway. There are even arguments that cats are not truly domesticated, and should instead be considered semi-domestic wild animals.

** When Nozemphtekh is trying to get Francis to mate with her a second time, she drops this gem:
--->'''Nozemphtekh''': Come and get it, baby.

*** Really, the sex scene ''in general''.

** The rooftop chase is quite [[Series/TheBennyHillShow Benny Hill worthy]].
