Line 37:
* [[Detective Patsy]]: Jake's getting hired by "Mrs. Mulwray" is what sets the whole plot in motion.
* [[Downer Ending]]: One of the nastiest. Perhaps the most famous aspect of this film outside of [[The Reveal]].
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Jack Nicholson was genuinely nervous during the nose-cutting scene because the knife being used could actually have hurt him badly if not held correctly. In the end, Roman Polanski did the scene himself to get it right.
* [[Eureka Moment]]: {{spoiler|The salt water pond}} is what is 'bad for glass.'
* [[Everybody Smokes]]: Appropriate for the period. Lampshaded when Jake asks the coroner, Morty, how he's doing, to which Morty complains of a cough - puffing away all the while, [[Historical In-Joke|blissfully unaware of things like emphysema or lung cancer]].
