Beautiful All Along: Krystyna is made up to be somewhat plain when she is introduced. When they get on the boat she dons a bikini, lets her hair down, and is revealed as exceptionally attractive. | |

Camera Tricks: Famously, Polański managed to cram a camera and its operator inside the tiny yacht and shoot dialogues between the actors. He never revealed how he managed to do it, while the space was so small the actors already barely fit. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: In an extremely bizarre case, Polanski himself handled the subtitling of the DVD release, which features loads of missing dialogue and some outright mistranslation. If you want the full and true experience of the film, you need to know Polish. | |

The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In: The knife is thrown by both men a handful of times and always lands pointy-end in...until the climactic moment when it ends up overboard. | |
