| 1 | * FridgeBrilliance: The second time Ronny takes Loretta to his bed, after the "storybooks are bullshit!" speech, he offers her his maimed hand, as if to tell her, "You had a tragic end with your OneTrueLove -- so did I. We need each other." |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: Ronny, Cher's on-screen beau, and Rob Camiletti, Cher's real-life beau at the time the movie was shot, were both bakers. |
| 3 | * MemeticMutation: "Snap out of it!" |
| 4 | * NarmCharm: The film opening with Music/DeanMartin singing, "That's Amore!", which is so corny it loops around to self-parody, letting the viewer know this film is going to be as Italian as possible. |
| 5 | * OneSceneWonder: [=Gina DeAngeles=] (previously a OneSceneWonder in ''Film/BroadwayDannyRose'') steals the one scene she's in at the airport with Loretta. |
| 6 | * [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct They Really Can Act]]: Music/{{Cher}} and even Creator/NicolasCage to a certain extent. While Cher is more obvious with her Oscar, Cage up to that point had been known for very odd and off kilter roles until this film (where he still plays such a character) which showed his range and got him a Golden Globe nomination. The film was also Olympia Dukakis' coming out party as an actress; watch her eyes when Johnny wonders if men cheat because they fear death. |
