2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The film includes a full score by Kurt Stenzel, which often aptly mimics Music/PinkFloyd and Music/{{Magma}}, the bands that Jodorowsky tried to hire. Highlights include "Coming of a God", "Ships with Souls", "Total Extermination", and "I Am Dune".
3* HeartwarmingInHindsight: His ''Dune'' was going to end with Paul being killed, but then transcending and making everyone around him the Messiah he was. Since the people who worked on the film's production would've gone on to use some of the designs and concepts for ''Film/{{Alien}}'', ''Film/FlashGordon1980'', ''ComicBook/TheIncal'' (which may or may not have inspired ''Film/TheFifthElement'' as well) and ''Film/{{Prometheus}}'', the fate of Jorodowsky's Paul can be seen (as Jodorowsky himself does) as a metaphor of his whole project: it died, but it lived on by influencing many other ScienceFiction works.
4* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
5** Shooting the documentary brought director Creator/AlejandroJodorowsky and producer Michel Seydoux (uncle of Creator/LeaSeydoux, who would end up playing Margot Fenring in ''Film/DunePartTwo'', interestingly) back in contact with each other and lead to the production of ''The Dance of Reality'', Jodorowsky's first film in 23 years.
6** When Jodorowsky is trashing the ''Film/{{Dune|1984}}'' that was eventually made, he adds this coda: "[[ExecutiveMeddling It must have been the studio.]] Creator/DavidLynch is a great director, he couldn't have made that film."
7* HilariousInHindsight: Jodorowsky had Music/MickJagger in mind to play Feyd-Rautha. Feyd would be played by fellow rock icon Music/{{Sting}} in [[Film/Dune1984 Lynch's film]] and Creator/AustinButler, who [[Film/Elvis2022 portrayed]] [[Music/ElvisPresley the King of Rock and Roll himself]], in Creator/DenisVilleneuve's [[Film/DunePartTwo second movie.]]
