- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The original film received major recognition in France, and was proposed by Pierre Rissient to the Cannes Film Festival, and while agreed to by Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel, the producers declined. It would be widely screened in France later and is considered one of Eastwood's finest works by the French.
- Memetic Mutation: The "old enough for kisses" scene had second life as a meme format for anything regarding Memetic Molesters.
- Values Dissonance: The original novel and the first film can very easily be regarded as offensive to women, portraying them as very insidious and spiteful, including those who are ready to cripple or even kill a male for showing interest in another girl. And that's not to mention the fact that the first film supports an offensive stereotype that people in Southern states are incestuous Lovable Sex Maniacs.
- The Woobie: In both versions, Amy is such a kind-hearted young girl, who cares dearly for wounded animals, and is the first one to find the wounded McBurney and bring him in, in spite of him being a Yankee. But even she isn't spared when McBurney loses his mind, hurting her and killing her beloved pet turtle.
