* AdultFear: [[spoiler:Libby and Dennis panic when Jake has run away. Gordon is also pretty concerned when Dennis tells him. One could say that because Dennis is a ManChild for much of the film, this is the moment where he grows up and forces him to face his problems instead of running away from them.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: At various points in the film, you can see graffiti depicting Dennis's state at that moment. One is of a man clecnhing his fists and striking a pose on a wall, seen behind Dennis during the TrainingMontage as he runs in and out of bollards. Another obvious one is after [[spoiler:Dennis and Gordon fight]]. Dennis runs around the corner and clearly visible on the wall behind him is of a man hanging from a tree, because at that point, he's at his lowest ebb in the film.
