This film contains examples of:[]
- Cool Car - Cars that are still renowned among car enthusiasts today
- Did Not Do the Bloody Research - The upside-down V hand sign McQueen does in the film. It can be considered an insult in some English-speaking countries.
- Every Car Is a Pinto - An unusual event for a movie that is otherwise quite realistic
- Scenery Porn - Both of France's countryside and of its cities, this movie can feel downright existentialist at times
