History YMMV / Help

** Seeing John being threatened with a gun, especially since Foot actually fires it right at ''him,'' of all people, though it jams. Also, seeing George attacked with a melee weapon in his own home now seems very wrong.

** The movie's especially funny in light of the fact that The Beatles later tried to get the rights to make their own film version of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' ([[WTHCastingAgency no, really]]). They probably figured they had experience acting in a film about a ring that all the bad guys are trying to take...

** ''This'' is the film that got George Harrison, and the rest of the Beatles through him, interested in Eastern religion.

** Ringo, George, and John's disguises in the airport make them look much like they would later in life.

** Seeing John being threatened with a gun, especially since Foot actually fires it right at ''him,'' of all people, though it jams.

** George saying "I've never seen any drummers with one, you know..." doesn't seem as silly in light of what happened to [[DefLeppard Rick Allen]].

** 'This'' is the film that got George Harrison, and the rest of the Beatles through him, interested in Eastern religion.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "The Exciting Adventure of Paul on the Floor", in which Paul shrinks to a minuscule size and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin has a brief exciting adventure on the floor]].

* FridgeLogic: How does owning a ring that can't be removed from one's finger help one gain global domination? Perhaps one could argue the value of replicating the metal, but it appears that there's no way to cut it and take samples...
** It does seem to be acknowledged: "With a ring like that, could I interest the military? No, I could not."
* FunnyAneurysmMoment - ''This'' is the film that got George Harrison, and the rest of the Beatles through him, interested in Eastern religion.
** Seeing John being threatened with a gun would probably be a much bigger FAM.
*** Especially since Foot actually fires it right at ''him,'' of all people, though it jams.
** There is also the scene where a bunch of vaguely Middle Eastern/South Asian cultists are rounded up and put into a prison camp and a Caribbean island.
** Due to their morbid and [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs surreal]] humor, most of the Beatles movies are full to bursting with [[FunnyAneurysmMoment FAMs]] to varying degrees.

** Juxtapose the Beatles' concern not to step on shrunken Paul as "it's his best suit", or George cracking on Paul's goofy "Indian scout" delivery when he discovers fake footprints on the road in the Bahamas, by saying, "Don't encourage him. You've got the part, Paul", with the band's later CreativeDifferences with Paul five years later in RealLife.
*** To say nothing of the earlier scene where George lunges for the throat of one of the bad guys and gets John, instead.

* HilariousInHindsight - Ringo, George, and John's disguises in the airport make them look much like they would later in life.
** Everything about the Beatles being on the run from (essentially) Indians and making (joking) comments about their 'filthy Eastern ways', considering they would later embrace that culture. In particular, a scene where the cultists quickly replace a band in a restaurant and start playing an Indianised instrumental version of ''A Hard Day's Night''.
*** GeorgeHarrison first got interested in the sitar seeing it used in that scene.

* {{Flanderization}} - The film versions of the band were supposed to exhibit exaggerated versions of their own personalities: John as a snarky smartaleck, Paul as a smooth lady killer, George as a miserly spendthrift, and Ringo as... well, Ringo. Most of this gets lost in the finished version, though.

** The band's attempts to induce Ringo to part with his finger, since they figure he doesn't need it to play the drums. In 2006, Capitol Records edited the cover of a Beatles boxed set they were releasing, [[NoSmoking clumsily airbrushing the cigarettes out of the band member's hands]]. The result was that Ringo lost ''two'' fingers.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome - Should go without saying in a {{Beatles}} movie!

* Contrast the band members' stories that they were stoned on marijuana when they filmed the movie, with this bit of dialogue, as Ahme is attempting to inject Ringo's finger with a formula designed to shrink his finger so that the ring will fall off:

->''''George''': (sticking gum in his mouth) Not as long as you don't swallow it.
