Line 105:
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: In numerous ways, real-life Beatlemania being an obvious example. Other minor examples are George tripping and sprawling over the suitcases during the opening chase (a real accident that was [[Throw It In|left in]]), and Ringo's [[Sad Clown]] sequence walking along the lake (it was praised as some of the best acting in the movie, but Ringo himself later admitted [[Serendipity Writes the Plot|he was extremely hungover and genuinely miserable that day]]).
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: John delivers an unusually good-natured one towards Paul's Grandfather after all the trouble he's caused.
{{quote|'''John:''' You know your trouble, you should have gone west to America. You would have been a senior citizen of [[Boston (useful notes)|Boston]]. But you took a wrong turn, and what happened? You're a lonely old man from Liverpool.
'''Grandfather:''' ''[Sour]'' But I'm clean.
'''John:''' ''[Cheerful cynicism]'' Are you? }}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Ringo is invited to the Le Cercle casino, which was where we first meet James Bond at the beginning of ''[[Dr. No]]''. And the girl with Paul's Grandfather is played by Margaret Nolan, who played Dink in ''[[Goldfinger]]''.
