Line 28:
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Kids film, no swearing, some odd words used
* [[Lighter and Fluffier]]: Than history. Interestingly this director went on to direct ''[[The Wall]]''.
** The story goes that the director was inspired to make this film after refusing to let his son watch ''[[
* [[Literal Metaphor]]: One of Fat Sam's workers says he can't stop Dandy Dan's gang because "he's all tied up" (he's actually tied up). Fat Sam replies "I don't care how busy you are."
* [[Meet Cute]]: Bugsy and Blousey
Line 34:
* [[Neighbourhood Friendly Gangsters]]: Fat Sam and his Gang are sort of the good guys in the story, although they are of course still gangsters. (It helps that Fat Sam is a much nicer employer than [[Bad Boss|Dandy Dan]].)
* [[Nerf Arm]]: pies are deadly
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Characters who are pied or splurged disappear from the action. They're said to be "finished" rather than dead. Everybody who gets splurged in the big showdown is still lively enough during the final song.
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: The kids are lip synching to adult voices. The only time this isn't used is for the [[Cute but Cacophonic]] Lena Marelli.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: argubly Bugsy
* [[Pie in
* [[Power of Friendship]]: the last song along with:
* [[Power of Love]]
Line 43:
{{quote| '''Lina Marelli''': Oscar! Oscar! I'm back! I'll give you one more chance, you hear me? I'll give you one more chance, you hear me, Oscar? Otherwise I'm out for ''good''! Out, out, ''out''! I'm not being ''humiliated'' in this place! You know I ''am'' the star and I should be treated like it absolutely all the time!}}
* [[Smug Snake]]: Dandy Dan.
* [[Surrounded
** Fat Sam with his gang, while Dandy Dan's are slightly more competent.
** Bugsy himself
Line 54:
----
=== Specific to the stage version: ===
* [[Rewarded
* [[Spy From Weights and Measures]]: In the stage version, Pop Becker's Bookstore is the front for Fat Sam's speakeasy.
