- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The outdoor orgy isn't explicable. According to John Frankenheimer, it wasn't even intentional.
- Jerkass Woobie: Arthur Hamilton (and Tony Wilson). He's not the most pleasant person, but what happens to him is horrible.
- Nightmare Fuel: Dear God, the ending.
- How scary is this movie? This is the movie that drove Brian Wilson crazier and helped derail Smile. He eventually came to think that Phil Spector had made the film to mess with his head.
- One-Scene Wonder: Murray Hamilton as Charlie. He shows up towards the end for 5 minutes but still leaves more than an impression.
- Richard Anderson as the surgeon who transforms Arthur into Antiochus and ultimately kills him.
- Vindicated by History: Was not very acclaimed when it was first released, but became a classic after The Criterion Collection released it and is considered Rock Hudson's finest film to this day.
