| 1 | * FirstInstallmentWins: Of Creator/BazLuhrmann's ''Red Curtain Trilogy'', in terms of both Website/RottenTomatoes Tomatometer score (95% compared to ''Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet''[='=]s 72% and ''Film/MoulinRouge''[='=]s 76%) and Metacritic metascore (72 compared to ''Romeo + Juilet''[='=]s 60 and ''Moulin Rouge!''[='=]s 66. However, this comes with the caveat of this film getting fewer certified professional reviews between both sites; 41 RT reviews for this film compared to 64 RT reviews ''Romeo + Juilet'' and 198 RT reviews for ''Moulin Rouge!'', and 16 Metacritic reviews for this film compared to 20 Metacritic reviews for ''Romeo + Juilet'' and 35 Metacritic reviews for ''Moulin Rouge!''. |
| 2 | * HamAndCheese: Barry Fife is made of this trope. |
| 3 | * HilariousInHindsight: Paul Mercurio has gone on to become a [[https://new.parliament.vic.gov.au/members/paul-mercurio/ Victorian State MP]] representing the seat of Hastings — which is the surname of his character in the film (Scott Hastings). |
| 4 | * HollywoodHomely: Arguably a rare subversion. While Fran [[SheCleansUpNicely cleans up nicely]] she doesn't become conventionally beautiful. |
| 5 | * MoralEventHorizon: Barry is just a conservative authority figure until the revelation that he [[spoiler:lied to Scott about his father and fixed the competition beforehand to destroy Scott's credibility like he had done to Shirley]]. |
