- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: A comical montage of Bess and Dodo trying to set Jan up in the house. It's already stylistically out of step with the rest of the film, but what really pushes it over the edge is T.Rex's "Hot Love", the only non-diagetic music in the film discounting those used in the intertitles.
- Narm: Jan's clearly-ADR'd shout of Bess's name when he and his friends bury her in the ocean. Editor Anders Refn considers it to be his only issue with the film.
- Shocking Moments: There's probably only one, but considering it involves God Himself honoring Bess, it's likely to be a big one.
- Tear Jerker: Bess' death is possibly one of the worst in all of cinema.
