* ShockingSwerve + FridgeLogic: The split-screen sequence between Dr. Elliot listening to a phone message from Bobbi vs. Liz making various financial transactions while being (supposedly) watched by Bobbi is presumably meant to ''completely'' throw viewers off the track. The strong implication seems to be that the two events ''are'' simultaneous--especially considering how Dr. Elliot and Liz end up both watching the same episode of Phil Donahue. The problem is...how does this reconcile with Dr. Elliot ''being'' Bobbi?
** The sequence in the police station near the end seems to explain that the woman following Liz around is the woman working for Det. Mannion. It wasn't ''really'' Bobbi.

* FairForItsDay: The portrayal of trans people has not aged well in the slightest, being based off of fears of Cis people and harmful stereotypes. However, the sex worker protagonist (whom is never judged or treated as lesser due to her profession) is notabley progressive, and rare even today.

* HilariousInHindsight: The "secondary hero" Peter looks a ''lot'' like Franchise/HarryPotter (particularly Harry's EightiesHair look in his [[Film/HarryPotterandTheGobletOfFire fourth movie]]) with his untidy black hair and round glasses, so much that it can be distracting. This film predates the Potter books and movies by almost two decades.

* ShockingSwerve + FridgeLogic: The split-screen sequence between Dr. Elliot listening to a phone message from Bobbi vs. Liz making various financial transactions while being ( watched by Bobbi is presumably meant to ''completely'' throw viewers off the track.
