* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgWvLkTkTBY During an interrogation, a large, muscular black man in a jock strap walks into the room and starts slapping the suspects]]. It's treated as perfectly normal and given no explanation. In a film set in leather bars with copious public BDSM acts, this is the strangest scene. It's presumably a reference to the alleged practice of doing something ridiculous to suspects during interrogations to make their claims of police brutality less likely to be believed.
* HarsherInHindsight: The film was made during exactly the period when HIV was already running rampant but nobody actually knew it yet, making its more sexually explicit scenes -- unsimulated and unprotected sex, remember -- ''intensely'' difficult to watch. Made even stronger by a reference to someone apparently having hepatitis at one point
