| 2 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Rocky Sullivan. [[spoiler: In the end, did he truly freak out at being sent to the electric chair, or did he act scared just to let all the kids know he was a bad example to follow?]] |
| 3 | * AwardSnub: It received UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nominations for Best Director, Actor and Screenplay, but not for Best Picture. |
| 4 | * EvilIsCool: In fact a main plot point of the movie is Connolly trying to convince the Dead End Kids that what Sullivan does ''isn't'' cool, without much success, [[spoiler: until perhaps at the end, after Sullivan went to the electric chair screaming. As to whether ''that''s cool, it's left extremely unclear if he did so in order to convince the Kids, or if he actually freaked out]]. |
| 5 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/HumphreyBogart! |
| 6 | * TearJerker: The ending. [[spoiler: Rocky ends up screaming and begging on his way to the electric chair, leaving it ambiguous if he is faking to destroy his image to the Dead End Kids or if he genuinely broke down. Father Jerry ends the film by telling the shocked kids "Let's go and say a prayer for a boy who couldn't run as fast as me."]] |
