Added DiffLines:
* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The most remembered detail about the film is Anna May Wong doing sexy dances in skimpy costumes.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Despite being second-billed, and Mabel and Wilmot technically being the protagonists, the film is regarded as an Anna May Wong starring role.
* HilariousInHindsight: Mabel is jealous of Shosho upstaging her - which proves quite prophetic of critics saying Anna May Wong stole the show from Gilda Gray.
* OneSceneWonder: The woman who gets reprimanded for dancing with a black man. After being mocked by the other patrons, she responds with a fantastic ShamingTheMob and storms out with her head held high. Modern fans lament that we can't hear exactly what she's saying to defend herself.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Charles Laughton is the man who complains about his dirty plate and results in Shosho being fired.
** Ray Milland is one of the extras in the nightclub.
* ValuesDissonance: The blatant exoticising of Shosho would be impossible to play seriously today.
