YMMV / Star 80

• Award Snub: Eric Roberts' performance was highly acclaimed and netted a Golden Globe nomination, but he wasn't nominated for the Academy Award, a snub that numerous critics and Hollywood colleagues loudly decried. Roberts' later Supporting Actor nomination for Runaway Train may well have been to make up for it.
• Nightmare Fuel: The ending. If you didn't think Eric Roberts could be terrifying, you'll be proven wrong.◊
• One-Scene Wonder: Carroll Baker as Dorothy Stratten's mother, delivering a monologue addressed to the camera. "I never signed."
• Retroactive Recognition: Keenen Ivory Wayans makes his film debut as a comedian in a club.
