1	!!From the movie:
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The incredibly eerie, tango-like main theme, taken from the Suite Punta del Este, by 20th century Tango Nuevo composer Astor Piazzola.
3	* AdaptationDisplacement: The movie is nowadays much more well known than the [[Film/LaJetee French short film]] that inspired it.
4	* DiagnosedByTheAudience: While James Cole is right about the time travel, it's implied he does have a genuine mental illness.
5	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Cole's fellow prisoner Jose probably has less than five minutes of screen time, but is still a much-discussed character for his own, lightly touched upon off-screen adventures on behalf of the scientists, and how he serves as a {{Foil}} to Cole for his weary acceptance of the situation.
6	* HilariousInHindsight:
7	** This quote:
8	-->'''[[Creator/BruceWillis James Cole]]:''' [[Film/TheSixthSense All I see are dead people]].
9	** Also, when Creator/BradPitt, the psychotic future terrorist, rants about TV commercials in the asylum. "[[Film/FightClub What are we then? We're CONSUMERS!]]"
10	* NarmCharm: The airport shooting [[spoiler: of James Cole]], anyone? Pretty narmy by all standards, but [[spoiler: by the final time the scene is played, it's turned into a TearJerker]].
11	* OneSceneWonder: Frederick Strother as L.J. Washington, a paranoid schizophrenic who believes he is a visitor from outer space trapped in the asylum. He rather creepily explains that he can see through his own insanity as James realizes he likely has the same condition of suffering "unnamed realities".
12	* SpoiledByTheFormat: Some versions of the movie have subtitles that label the voice on the recording [[spoiler:"Kathryn's voice"]], despite Cole specifically saying the voice was unidentifiable later in the movie.
13	* TheWoobie: Cole. His absolutely hellish TraumaCongaLine of a life and frayed mental state makes it really hard not to want to give the poor guy a hug.

15	!!From the show:
16	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Deacon the "psychopathic Han Solo", who was promoted to the main cast after season one.
