Line 117:
* [[Meaningful Name]] / [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: "Der Schmale", meaning "the thin one" ([[Slender Man Mythos]]?)
* [[Milking the Giant Cow]]: Rotwang only loves one thing more than Hel, and that is wild gesticulation. Robot-Maria shares his liking for it, too.
* [[Missing Episode]]: Missing ''a third of the entire movie'' for many years.
** Even with the rediscovered version, there are still two missing scenes; one of which is heavily plot-relevant.
** To make matters even '''worse''', there have been rumors that there are even ''more'' missing scenes that were cut from the film before it's German premiere to help shorten the time of the film. It may be very likely that Lang didn't destroy these scenes and there may be even more unseen footage for this film.
* [[Monologuing]]: Rotwang.
* [[Mobile Maze]]: Rotwang's house. The doors can be completely sealed at a whim, which his uses against Freder and Maria at different points.
