* CreatorBacklash: Although John Cleese loves this film, he felt that the ending was not right, and it should have been happier.
* ShoutOut: Detective Inspector [[Series/FawltyTowers Laundryman]]



* TechnologyMarchesOn: Most of the technology seen in the film was up to date for its time; indeed, the computerised timetable and public address system at the school may have been considered modern, and the Porshe car was brand new. However, many of the problems would be averted by modern technology, especially mobile phones. Brian Stimpson is possibly the one principal character who might have been important enough to have a mobile phone at the time.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The beginning of the film has a running gag where Brian keeps telling his students "9:20!", meaning they have to report to his office at 9:20 for violating his rules in some way. [[spoiler:The filmmakers missed an opportunity to bookend the film by having Brian yell "9:20!" to Laura as he is being taken away in the police car.]]
