2	!!For the GameShow:
3	* [[CreepyAwesome Creepy]] SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The show's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEgM1KM9Tys theme]]. The HeartbeatSoundtrack [[SincerityMode certainly helps]]. In true ''[[Series/WhoWantstoBeaMillionaire Millionaire]]'' style, music played throughout most of this show. Particularly as it was all composed by one composer in just a few days, it's stunning.
4	* DifficultySpike: The eight questions are split into two distinct halves, with ''every'' question in the upper half exponentially harder than the last. In #5 you have to choose 4 right answers out of 6. In #6, 4 out of 7. In #7, 4 out of 8. In the final question, ''4 out of 9'', with questions so vague it's often a shot in the dark no matter how much the contestant knows. Example: identify which ''four'' of these ''nine'' smells is most recognizable to the human nose, according to Yale University. [[RunningGag Did we mention]] you have to pick the correct ''four answers out of nine choices''? Oh, and you only have [[TimedMission 30 seconds]] to talk it over, 10 seconds to give your answers, and no buyout offer.
5	** Only a few teams failed to make it to $100,000 (one team that failed was later brought back after the show's researchers uncovered that the answer they gave should have been accepted). About half made it to $200K, but only a few went on to win more than that. The second-to-last question only showed up three times (once in the regular episodes and twice during the ''Super Greed'' special, where teams going for more than million dollars were [[ConsolationPrize guaranteed $200K even if they lost]]; this question format was also used for the Million-Dollar Moments), and the jackpot question only appeared once.
6	%%* {{Narm}}: "The terminator is on the prowl."
7	* QuestionableCasting: After seeing Chuck's playful, bumbling demeanor on ''Wheel'', ''Series/{{Scrabble}}'', and (for those who saw it) ''Series/TheBigSpin'' plus his horndog side on ''Love Connection'' and ''Series/TheDatingGame'', it was very hard for many game show fans to buy Chuck as the StraightMan.
8	----
9
10	!!For the 1924 film
11	* EvilIsCool: [=McTeague=] easily gains a ton of fans who often find him has more tolerable than his wife, considering how timid he started off as and that he has a well-developed turn to darkness that feels earned and justifiable, to the point where he's near impossible not to like
12	* JerkassWoobie: John [=McTeague=] definitely becomes this after his dentist career goes out of business. He was unable to find a job to make up for his last wife and continue to provide them enough to help them. His greedy wife refused to use any of her lottery money to make repairs to the house or even provide them with enough food or anything to benefit the normal lives, and John was completely broke so he couldn't do anything to help. Sure he ends up having his patience limited his murders his wife, [[AwfulWeddedLife but after the terrible marriage they had]], he had a justifiable reason for doing so. Not to mention becoming a fugitive in the desert and eventually having a tragic inevitable death.
