* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic : The main theme, as well as the one of the Hasidic dance, ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBbmBlG7i8g here in orchestral version]]) are both recognized as terribly catchy. To the point, in fact, that the Hasidic dance is [[{{Defictionalization}} now part of French Jewish culture]] and is often performed in Ashkenazi Jewish weddings or Bar Mitzvahs.
* ProtagonistTitleFallacy: Given the title itself, it is easy to forget that in the movie, Rabbi Jacob is a ''different'' character from the one played by Creator/LouisDeFunes. Victor Pivert is the main character and he's impersonating Jacob. The real Jacob is played by Marcel Dalio, the film's title is a SecondaryCharacterTitle.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/GerardDarmon had his second film role here after ''Film/{{The Brain|1969}}'' (also by Creator/GerardOury), as one of the henchmen of Farès.
* SignatureScene:
** The chase in the bubblegum factory, with everyone bar Slimane ending up CoveredInGunge.
** The Hasidic dance scene in the Rue des Rosiers.
