Line 28:
* [[Crystal Ball Scheduling]]: With the exceptions of a clip of the President and Chance's talk show appearance, every clip seen on a TV in the film -- and there are many, including ones seen in the background -- is from a real show/commercial. And most of them were airing, new or as reruns, around the time of the film's making and release. They comment on or underscore the situation at hand or just Chance's personality; others become something Chance adapts to his own situation.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Eve takes Chance's comment that "he likes to watch" entirely the wrong way.
* [[Eiffel Tower Effect]]: The movie's set in Washington, D.C., but since the P.O.V. is confined to the townhouse until Chance leaves, ''and'' the townhouse is not in the nicest part of town, we don't see any landmarks until he's wandered far. (Up to that point, we only get one hint as to the setting: a ''Washington Post'' ad on TV.)
* [[Everything Is Racist]]: Louise assumes Chance's success is due to the fact that he's white.
