- Award Snub: Michelle Pfeiffer's performance and Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" were overlooked for Academy Awards.
- Awesome Music: "Gangsta's Paradise." These days more known than the film itself (and it inspired the Weird Al parody!).
- Glurge: Chances are if something parodies the "Save Our Students" plot, it will be based on this movie. The real Lou Anne Johnson hated the film for precisely this reason.
