- Award Snub: The film received four Academy Award nominations and went home empty-handed. It wasn't nominated for Best Picture or Adapted Screenplay.
- Foe Yay Shipping: The homosexual undertones present in the original are made much more explicit by the remake:Black: You gave him... a pat... on the bum?
Wyke: Metaphorically.
Black: You gave him a metaphorical pat on the bum?- Even in the original they were pretty obvious, especially in the second act when Andrew asks Milo to come live with him:
Tindle: But what about Maggie?
Wyke: Forget her. Let her rot. Stay with me. You're my kind of person. - Hilarious in Hindsight: The first film is definitely not the last time those dressing-and-heavy-makeup ways got Michael Caine in huge trouble...
- Nightmare Fuel: Those freaking toys. They constantly show shots of Andrew's various toys and automata he has around the house, being far more menacing than dolls have a right to be.
