YMMV page for the Ivan the Terrible film duology.
- Awesome Music: Just like with Alexander Nevsky, the soundtrack by Sergei Prokofiev is appropriately grand and epic.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Going from the amount of fan art, fan fiction and fan videos he has been the muse of; Fyodor Basmanov
- Ho Yay: Ivan and Fedor Basmanov the Cross-Dressing Oprichnik. Truth in Television, as rumours of a "sodomic liaison" between the two were spread by the tsar's enemies and sorta confirmed by Ivan himself.
- Signature Scene:
- Ivan's coronation with the shower of gold coins and his New Era Speech, and the angry/jealous Boyars making no effort to hide their contempt and readiness to conspire against him.
- The procession of people with religious symbols in the snow coming at a church to seek Ivan and begging him to come back on the throne, with said crowd being framed by the archs of the church's stairs and Ivan taking some dramatic pauses with his stick, including a shot of his bearded face dominating the crowd.
- The Dance of the Oprichniki sequence in colors.
