* EndingAversion: Most fans aren't very fond of the ending where [[DeathByAdaptation the Phantom is killed by an angry mob]], which was added in very late. The intent seems to have been to avoid making him a KarmaHoudini, but the result comes across as a bit cruel when it comes right after he lets Christine go--he already learned his lesson, so why kill him now? Even Lon Chaney wasn't big on it.

* ItWasHisSled: Everyone who has ever so much as Googled the film knows what the Phantom looks like, which makes it a bit hard to realize how shocking he would have been to a new audience.

* FunnyMoments: In the iconic masquerade scene, the Phantom in his Red Death guise bumps into a drunk partygoer, who goes ballistic and cusses him while his friends hold him back. The friends then tell him that he just cussed the Phantom of the Opera, and the man faints on the spot.
