| 1 | * AwardSnub: The film received four UsefulNotes/AcademyAward nominations and went home empty-handed. It wasn't nominated for Best Picture or Adapted Screenplay. |
| 2 | * FoeYayShipping: The homosexual undertones present in the original are made much more explicit by the remake: |
| 3 | --> '''Black''': You gave him... a ''pat''... on the bum?\ |
| 4 | '''Wyke''': Metaphorically.\ |
| 5 | '''Black''': You gave him a metaphorical ''pat'' on the bum? |
| 6 | ** Even in the original they were pretty obvious, especially in the second act when Andrew asks Milo to come live with him: |
| 7 | --> '''Tindle''': But what about Maggie?\ |
| 8 | '''Wyke''': Forget her. Let her rot. Stay with me. You're my kind of person. |
| 9 | * HilariousInHindsight: The first film is definitely not the last time those dressing-and-heavy-makeup ways got Michael Caine [[Film/DressedToKill in huge trouble...]] |
| 10 | * NightmareFuel: Those ''[[CreepyDoll freaking toys.]]'' They constantly show shots of Andrew's various toys and automata he has around the house, being far more menacing than dolls have a right to be. |
