The only dog shown in the movie - a pet terrier named Myron - was no harmed at all. In the closing scene we can see him leaving the house with his owners, unharmed and alive. One of the protagonists talks about his past and mentiones his murdered poodle.

Characters are meant to believe circumstances about the house that are not true; a character repeatedly changes his story when it comes to his potential bisexuality, or homosexuality.

A snake is heard, and later seen presumably dead while gripping a character mid-attack.

One of the film's major characters is a Chinese-American man, played by a white actor in yellowface. Just about every anti-Asian stereotype shows up in his characterization.

Many Asian slurs are used throughout. The film also has a yellowface portrayal of a Chinese man by a white actor that speaks in broken English and continually spouts fortune cookie platitudes. There is also a character who is Belgian but nevertheless is often the target of Francophobic slurs.

Blind butler. Deaf and mute and can't read English maid/cook. Doesn't age well, imo; humor is Mel Brooks-esque.
