There is a horse shown in the song "The Phantom of the Opera" that Christine rides down a ramp and then they leave it there as they make their way to the boat, but it happens in-song so I'm not sure if it's actually a canon event.

Although they are not in a relationship, The Phantom does behave violently towards Christine. He doesn't hit her but he is aggressive and angry.

A lot of people drink, but it seems to be mostly in celebration. There's only a small amount of what looks like alcoholism.

Gerard Butler wears prosthetics to appear "deformed", but by the standards of most productions, it isn't as bad as everyone acts. He looks like a burn victim with red skin, missing an eyebrow, and deformed ear.

There is nothing truly incestuous, but there is the fact that the Phantom is very obviously attracted to Christine, but at first Christine thinks the Phantom is the spirit of her dead father... it does kind of toe the line a bit.

During the film's dramatic climax, the police shoot at the Phantom several times with rifles and pistols, but none of their shots hit anything, at least not visibly.
