Line 22:
* [[A Friend in Need]]: When his wife fails to believe he is cursed (and in fact conspires with a local doctor to commit him to a Mental Institution should he return home), Billy turns to [[The Don|Richie Ginelli]], a Mafioso who he is acquainted with. Richie sends Billy a doctor, then shows up himself to wreck havoc on the Gypsies until the they agree to lift the curse. {{spoiler|He dies for his troubles, but accepted that fact beforehand.}}
* [[Gypsy Curse]]: Three, to be precise: The titular one, the "lizard" one on the judge, and the mega-acne one on the cop.
* [[Hey
** He probably should have stuck to [[Criminal Minds|helping track down Un-Subs.]]
* [[Hot Gypsy Woman]]: Gina Lemke is one. Kari Wuhrer plays her in the film.
Line 34:
** The movie pushes it towards a [[Cruel Twist Ending]] with the added subplot of {{spoiler|Dr. Mikey, who Halleck suspects his wife is cheating on him with. After the original ending, he's just about to tuck in to a piece of pie, Dr. Mikey knocks on the door...and he invites him in for a piece of pie.}}
* [[The Mafia]]: Halleck's friend, Richard Ginelli is an Italian mob boss, who uses his connections to terrorize the Gypsies.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Halleck says this almost word-for-word in the movie, when he finds out that {{spoiler|his daughter had some of the cursed pie that he brought home for his wife.}}
* [[Never My Fault]]: Billy Halleck blames everybody but himself for his having run Susanna Lemke over, including Susanna herself.
* [[Playing Gertrude]]: Irma St. Paule, who played the woman Halleck runs over in the film, was one year older than Michael Constantine, the actor who played her father. (Of course, it is hard to find 106-year-old actors, and the guy isn't supposed to look 106.)
