- One-Scene Wonder: Philip Seymour Hoffman as an obnoxious gambler.
- Retroactive Recognition: In addition to Philip Seymour Hoffman making an early appearance as the obnoxious gambler (see above), Melora Walters plays the woman Jimmy brings home right before Sydney shoots him dead.
- Tear Jerker: When Sydney tells John that he loves him like he was his own son. Even though the audience knows at this point Sydney killed John's father several years ago, it's still a powerful moment.
