* AluminumChristmasTrees: The [[http://reelsf.com/motel hotel built around a parking garage]] and Archie's [[http://reelsf.com/petulia-archies-apartment-interior Mid-Century apartment]] seem like sets created for the film to make ironic commentaries on America's infatuation with Modernism in TheSixties, but they're actual San Francisco locations that still exist today.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: It's very much a time capsule of San Francisco in TheSixties (including cameos by Music/JanisJoplin and Music/TheGratefulDead), which gave it an added layer of meaning over the years.

* HollywoodPudgy: Several lines of dialogue reveal that Archie's son Mike is supposed to have weight issues, but when we see him he looks quite thin, even taking into account that he was said to have lost 11 pounds after his parents divorced.
