| 1 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The [[OneSceneWonder One]]-''Shot''-[[OneSceneWonder Wonder]] of the dog with giant sunglasses. |
| 2 | * CultClassic: Has increasingly become this as one of Creator/RobertRodriguez's first major works. |
| 3 | * DancingBear: While regarded as a great movie in its own right, most of the attention received was due to its extremely small budget of $7,000. |
| 4 | * MemeticMutation: Anyone carrying two guitar cases full of firearms (Such as in ''VideoGame/TotalOverdose'') is likely going to be referencing this movie or its sequels. |
| 5 | * MisaimedFandom: A harmless example. The film was hugely successful on the American indie circuit at least partially because it was in Spanish, which Americans took to mean that it was a chić foreign art film. Creator/RobertRodriguez would later admit that it's actually a {{black comedy}} spoof of low-budget, DirectToVideo Spanish-language action movies and that the only reason [[UntranslatedTitle the title was in Spanish]] was because ''The Guitar Player'' [[MarketBasedTitle wasn't a catchy title]]. It's safe to assume that he doesn't have many complaints otherwise. |
