* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Slaughterhouse" by Powermad; "Baby Please Don't Go" by Them, "Up In Flames" by Koko Taylor and "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: As a Creator/DavidLynch film, ''Wild at Heart'' has many strange scenes, but the scene where Lula talks about her missing cousin [[Creator/CrispinGlover Dell]] takes the cake as Jingle Dell is, well, a [[CloudCuckooLander lunatic]].
* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** The opening scene where Sailor beats a hitman to death, due to how long it goes for.
** Bobby Peru's death is hilariously gruesome. He gets shot by the cops, drops to his knees and accidentally blows his head off with his own shotgun.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[spoiler:Bobby Peru is generally regarded as one of the best characters despite only appearing towards the end of the film. It helps that he is a creepy GigglingVillain that manages to outsmart Sailor and has a very gory [[YourHeadASplode death sequence]].]]
* NightmareFuel: The lipstick scene, [[spoiler: Johnnie's torture/death scene]], Bobby threatening to rape Lula and the car accident qualify as rather frightening moments.
* OneSceneWonder:
** Lula's cousin, Jingle Dell, appears in one flashback as a crazy man who loves Christmas to the point of dressing up as Santa everyday to make Christmas last all year long and believes that aliens are controlling his mind.
** Jack Nance plays 00 Spool, an old man who has interesting dialogue about his dog.
** Creator/SherilynFenn appears in one creepy scene as [[spoiler:a dying car crash victim.]]
* SignatureLine: Sailor's description of his snakeskin jacket is not only a funny quote but also a good summary of Sailor himself.
-->'''Sailor:''' This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.
* SignatureScene:
** The intro scene is notorious for its depiction of Sailor busting an assassin's head open.
** The two scenes in which Sailor sings Music/ElvisPresley love songs to woo Lula are some of the more popular parts of the movie.
