YMMV / Body Heat

• Award Snub: It received zero Academy Award nominations.
• Awesome Music: The theme, composed by John Barry.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
  • Ted Danson's famous tap dance. It's visually appealing and surreal, and set up earlier by his walking into the diner doing his dance moves, but has no relevance to the plot and is never mentioned after that scene.
  • The creepy clown that drives past Ned in Miami. Ned's expression says even he doesn't know what to make of it.
• Magnificent Bitch: Mary Ann Simpson, known as "The Vamp" in her teenage years, is a beautiful, beguiling woman who breathed new life into the Femme Fatale trope. She seduces the sleazy and incompetent lawyer Ned Racine, engaging in a torrid affair with him before convincing him to kill her wealthy husband Edmund Walker by subtly exposing the man's shady business affairs to soothe Ned's possible moral qualms. Mary Ann then has her husband's will improperly changed behind Ned's back so it will be declared null and void by a judge and render her the sole beneficiary of her husband's estate. She fakes her own death and implicates Ned, while also being revealed to have assumed the identity of her supposed friend Matty Tyler and killed her as well. Mary Ann's scheme took years of planning, ultimately leaving her with a fortune and living scot-free in a tropical island paradise.
