1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYQmsyYxSFk "Telescope"]] by Music/PinoDonaggio has become a staple StockTrailerMusic for erotic thrillers.
2* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Jake's scene in the porn movie he's infiltrating consists of him entering a club where Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood leads him around the club singing "Relax" and poses on a bar before getting carried away by club goers. It's certainly...elaborate for a porn scene.
3** It was basically a music video for the song which had been banned in the UK and Creator/{{MTV}}, providing a JustHereForGodzilla reason to see the film. A second "Body Double" official music video [[https://youtu.be/oQMr351ib2k was made]], though rarely seen.
4* JustHereForGodzilla: As mentioned earlier, a chance to see a "Relax" music video.
5* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Critical (and viewer) opinion of this movie at the time was varied, ranging from fantastic to abominable. The only thing just about every critic has agreed upon is that Creator/MelanieGriffith's performance is excellent.
6* RetroactiveRecognition:
7** A very early role for Creator/DennisFranz, but he's instantly recognizable as Scully's frustrated director.
8** Creator/RobPaulsen, in a rare live-action role, shows up at the end of the porn movie scene as a crew member.
9** Scream queen Creator/BarbaraCrampton makes her acting debut as Scully's cuckolding girlfriend Carol.
10* SpecialEffectsFailure: it might be because of the re-mastered film for the DVD/Blu-Ray release, but if you look carefully in the few close-ups of Gloria's stalker, [[spoiler: his skin doesn't look quite real. Making it easy to figure out that said stalker is wearing movie makeup, and therefore must be someone Gloria ''would'' recognize without it.]] Quite possibly why there's so few shots of the Stalker.
