Line 31:
* [[Amusing Injuries]]
* [[Animated Credits Opening]]
* [[Ascended Fan]]: Of a sort — Peter Falk had said that he had long been a fan of Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, and was overjoyed to work alongside him in this film.
* [[Banana Peel]]: The very end of the movie.
* [[Bench Breaker]]: Lennie breaks the chair that he was tied to after breaking himself free from the pillar and duct tape that the gas station attendants tried tying up him to.

* [[Plot -Sensitive Latch]]: At the end the suitcase carrying the money pops open, {{spoiler|dumping the cash into a crowd of people.}}
* [[Powder Trail]]: This is one of the many methods by which the Crumps attempt to escape from the hardware-store basement in which they have been accidentally locked.
* [[Product Placement]]: Lots of it for Coca-Cola, including a billboard asking to pause for a Coke, 30 seconds before the intermission.
Line 98:
* [[Reality Ensues]]: After their death defying stunt on the fire ladder, all the men end up in traction, lucky to be alive.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Ernie Kovacs was scheduled to appear as Melville Crump (alongside real-life spouse Edie Adams) before being killed in a traffic accident.
* [[Re CutRecut]]: The film ran a whopping 210 minutes in its original preview cut. This was trimmed down, in succession, to 192 minutes (for its world premiere at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome), 161 minutes (for its 70mm "roadshow" presentation in select theaters), and 154 minutes (for general theatrical release). The 154-minute cut is the standard version for home video, although a partially-restored 182-minute "special edition" was made for laserdisc and VHS in the early '90s and occasionally airs on [[Turner Classic Movies]].
* [[Rule of Funny]]: The movie runs on it.
