• Alternative Character Interpretation: Several. Jesus and Judas are the most obvious.
• Awesome Music: By none other than Peter Gabriel.
• Non Sequitur Scene: That "talking lion" was pretty trippy.
• Magnificent Bastard: You have to hand it to Satan for the titular "last temptation": it almost got Jesus to abandon God.
• Narm: Harvey Keitel's keeps his Brooklyn accent.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: The film's reception.
• One True Threesome: Jesus is implied to become one of these during the alternate future when, following Mary Magdalene's death, he ends up living with Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, and having many children with both of them.
• What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Willem Dafoe, known for taking dark, psychotic roles and looking generally Satanic, plays Jesus. Sergio Leone, at least, did not take it well.

"This is the face of a murderer, not of Our Lord!"

• • Also David Bowie as Pontius Pilate. Yeah.
  • It can be very alarming to realize that Judas is Mister White.
