* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: Seymour says not to use the Rocket 11 under ''any'' circumstances before he lets the gang drive his car, as it hasn't been tested. Guess what Milward does.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Millward and Cavis are arrested for breaking, entering, and stealing from the church. Even if it wasn’t the star that they stole, it was still a crime.

** Earlier, Cavis states that "Unless [Prince Frederick] says otherwise, he's coming (to their play)." Cue said prince calling on the phone...to say otherwise.
* TooManyCooksSpoilTheSoup: Millward and Cavis want to put on a big spectacle to teach people to love, but in the end, they see that the simplest story can be the most powerful.
