* WolverinePublicity: Jim Parsons (better known as Sheldon from ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'') plays one of the prosecuting attorneys. His role is not a terribly substantial one, yet his character is featured on one of Netflix's promotional images for the movie, as if to tell people, "hey, look! Sheldon is in this movie!"

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Compared to the early sex scene between Bundy and Kloepfer, which cut away before real action, the sex scene between Boone and Bundy in jail looks vulgar and almost animalistic.

* AdultFear: The first time Kloepfer sleeps with Bundy, she wakes up to find him and her young daughter Molly missing (they are actually having breakfast downstairs). It also pains her to think that she trusted Bundy with Molly once she learns that his youngest victim was only 12 years old.

* BeardOfSorrow: Bundy grows a beard after he is held without bail for murder. It’s actually a pretty clever part of his escape plan. He goes on TV while he has the beard and shaves it off before escaping so that people are less likely to recognize him.

* DracoInLeatherPants: InUniverse: Ted Bundy gets a load of this treatment, particularly from women who find him too attractive to think about the attrocities he is being charged for. [[StalkerWithACrush Carole Ann Boone]] especially treats Bundy this way and actively tries to make him proclaimed innocent.
