| 1 | * CriticalDissonance: The film received very positive reviews from critics, but bombed in theatres. |
| 2 | * IronWoobie: Preston Tucker, a happy soul and a gifted innovator who only wanted to make safe automobiles, yet he is screwed over by his own company board and the Big Three led by Senator Ferguson, was charged with stock fraud and eventually went broke and died in obscurity from lung cancer. Nonetheless, he braves on with an optimistic smile on his face with hope how his beliefs would live on with future auto developers to follow them. |
| 3 | * OneSceneWonder: Creator/DeanStockwell as Creator/HowardHughes. |
| 4 | * RetroactiveRecognition: A young Creator/ChristianSlater appears as Preston's eldest son. |
| 5 | * ToughActToFollow: Like most of Creator/FrancisFordCoppola's non-''Film/TheGodfather'' movies, the film suffers from this. |
| 6 | * ValuesResonance: Considering that the American auto industry has been lagging behind that of Japan and Germany since the 1970s, the movie's message of innovation over aesthetics and condemnation of the blatantly [[OnlyInItForTheMoney profit-driven]] nature of monopolistic industries and their efforts to prevent progressive competition remain relevant to this day. |
