* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first shot has members of the Kid Kellys drawing an unflattering caricature of Annie on a wall. Annie sees them, and flings a brick. A massive brick-throwing brawl breaks out.
* TitledAfterTheSong: A latter-day viewer might not know, and might be puzzled by a reference in the film to "the hated song"--but "Little Annie Rooney" was a popular dance hall song that dated back to the late 19th century.
