Foreshadowing and the use of motifs are also prominent in the film.
As a bit of trivia, one line was changed for the DVD release. In the original film, the John Lithgow character Roberta says, "I had mine surgically removed, but to have it bitten off in a Buick!" For the DVD, the words "in a Buick" were removed.
