- Awesome Music: The music score is wonderfully discordant and dissonant, leading to the crescendo when the band is playing for some waltzers in a danse macabre.
- Funny Moments: "Now I'm Free to see the WOOOOOOORLD!"
- Truth in Television: That was one of a series
of real ads for Hoveround that played ad nauseum late night in the 90's. For those who were half-asleep during those hours, that reference is a lot darker.
- Truth in Television: That was one of a series
- Harsher in Hindsight: Supposedly, the movie was a favorite of (alleged) Tuscon, AZ assassin Jared Lee Loughner.
- Memetic Mutation: "Super perfundo on the early eve of your day!"
- Retroactive Recognition: A young Alex Jones is shown driving around Austin lecturing over loudspeakers to the populace.
- Spiritual Successor:
- Linklater's 2006 A Scanner Darkly adaptation. Both were shot in the same rotoscoped style.
- Also, Waking Life itself to his first film, Slacker. Both go from character to character, discussing whatever's on their mind. Waking Life has slightly more plot, though.
