* [[Agony of the Feet]]

** Lions from Tsavo, which is a particularly hot and arid region, generally have little to no mane because it's cooler that way. The particular pair of maneaters aren't special.

* [[Babies Ever After]]: Patterson is reunited with his wife and little child at the end of the movie.

* [[The Gay Nineties]]

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Patterson, an experienced soldier and hunter, decides to change his gun at the last minute and go to hunt the lions without testing it before. Remington calls him on it. Later, all three main characters (Patterson, Remington and Samuel) grab it and decide to party after killing one of the lions, assuming the second will just flee... {{spoiler|but instead comes back to kill Remington.}}
