Line 42:
* [[Passion Play]]
* [[Patter Song]]: "Tower of Babble" and "All for the Best".
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|The Reason You Suck Song]]: "Alas For You".
* [[Scooby Dooby Doors]]: In the movie (and obviously could be done on stage too).
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Jesus speaks the Passover Seder prayer in Hebrew. Most Christians forget that Jesus was a ''rabbi'' and The Last Supper was a ''Passover Seder''.
Line 54:
* [[Wham Line]]: "Then the man they called Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests, and said "What will you give me to betray Him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver -- and from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity to betray Him." (Matthew 26:14-16, KJV) The line signifies the transition from John to Judas in the musical.
** In the film, the final line of the speech is accented with a percussive sound not unlike [[Dramatic Thunder]].
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Gilmer. In the film, she's the auburn-haired girl with the tiger puppet (and the actress who originated the role on stage).
* [[Writing Around Trademarks]]: In the film, Jesus can't wear a [[Superman]] insignia, so instead he wears a shirt with a stylized "S" that suggests it instead.
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: All the songs, and maybe the entire play.
