Something is not right here...

  • On their first date at a diner, Rosemary's chair breaks due to her weight. Hal doesn't know this, and angrily asks the employee what the chair is made of: "steel." Hal doesn't know what to say for a few seconds.
  • Hal and Rosemary are having a milkshake together. When the waitress appears, Hal stops drinking it for a moment and turns around to address her. When he turns back, he finds that Rosemary has finished the whole rest of the milkshake. She immediately groans in pain over a brain freeze.
    • Rosemary isn’t doing it out of greed either. She seems to just genuinely need more food due to being so large and evidently used to eating endless amounts of food. This also means on your average day, she would’ve had the giant milkshake to herself without thinking about it, whereas while sharing it with Hal, she’s so hungry she guzzles it down when he’s not looking.
  • On their first night of sex, Rosemary takes off her underwear in front of Hal and throws it at him. To Hal's complete confusion, the panties immediately become gigantic...
    • A deleted scene would show the couple waking up the next morning. When Rosemary gets up, Hal moves to the side where she was lying and finds that the bed frame is completely destroyed.
  • "Let me put it this way: it's like he gave you Beer Goggle laser surgery."
  • Mauricio revealing he has a tail. That he can wiggle, no less!
  • At the end of the film, Hal tries to carry Rosemary in his arms triumphantly in a matrimonial style. Obviously, he fails miserably, and it is Rosemary who ends up carrying him in her arms.
    • And then, when Rosemary stands in the passenger seat of Hal's car (which he borrowed from Mauricio) to receive the applause of her friends, her side of the car immediately loses balance.
