Line 28:
* [[Red China]]: The bad guys.
* [[Rule of Three]]: The rule of thirds is dramatically averted in the first shot of Janet Leigh. She is presented right in the middle of the frame. It's a bit startling.
* [[Satellite Character]]/[[Shallow Love Interest]]: Rosie pops up out of nowhere, helps calm Marco down at a point where the nightmares are really getting to him, and then does absolutely nothing else except [[Ms. Fanservice|fill out some sweaters nicely]]. The singularly bizarre nature of Rosie's first two conversations with Marco, and the general pointlessness of her character, have led some to speculate that she is a [[Deep-Cover Agent]] deliberately sent after Sinatra (see Roger Ebert's [https://web.archive.org/web/20121026123504/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=
* [[Spy Speak]]: The strange rhythms of Marco's conversations with Rosie (see above) led some fans to theorize that they are elaborate codes (and then [[Epileptic Trees|you start wondering]] whether Marco is ''aware'' of this...)
* [[Telephone Exchange Names]]: "Eldorado 5".
