* KickTheSonOfABitch: The deleted scene in which Sebastian slaps Kathryn. Good God, did she deserve it. Unfortunately, the scene had to be deleted because Sebastian then went too far ''after'' the slap, almost forcing himself on Kathryn sexually.

* BlackComedyRape:
** Sebastian essentially date-rapes Cecile by first getting her UnsuspectinglySoused and then using coercion to make her relent to him performing sex acts on her. And it's PlayedForLaughs the whole time. For an added dose of irony, the [[CringeComedy cringey]] scene is set to dulcet tones about love.
** Averted in ''Cruel Intentions 3'', in which there's an [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil awfully disturbing]] [[RapeAsDrama full-on rape]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Unlike other versions of the character, Annette is no DamselInDistress. Instead of allowing herself to be the victim of the story and [[DeathByDespair dying of a broken heart]], she fights back and [[spoiler:serves Kathryn her JustDesserts in the end]].



* GoodIsNotSoft: Unlike other versions of the character, Annette is no DamselInDistress. Instead of allowing herself to be the victim of the story and [[DeathByDespair dying of a broken heart]], she fights back and [[spoiler:serves Kathryn her JustDesserts in the end]].


Added DiffLines:

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In Literature/DangerousLiaisons, the character that Annette is based on, Madame de Tourvel, [[spoiler: suffers grief over Valmont's death and dies from fever]]. In this modern retelling, Annette as the Madame de Tourvel stand-in survives, gets her revenge, and gets to drive off into the sunset. And as revealed in a spinoff television series that never got picked up, Annette even [[spoiler: had Sebastian's son and lived on for many years after the events of ''Cruel Intentions'']].

While he still gets in a fight with the Danceny stand-in, it's an oncoming car that hits Sebastian and does him in]].

* BlackComedy: If Sebastian's angst and the [[CerebusSyndrome tragic climax]] and [[Main/{{Melodrama}} denouement]] were edited out, then the whole film could pass as one. The opening scene alone is a comedic masterpiece.

Getting rid of that Betty And Veronica if it's solely based on viewer interpretation. Also formatted properly.

* {{Betty and Veronica}}: BettyAndVeronica: The sweet, {{Hair of Gold Heart of Gold}} blonde Betty to Kathryn’s Kathryn's mean, cruel cruel, dark-haired Veronica.



* {{Beta Bitch}}: Spends the Summer thinking she’s Kathryn’s best friend, avoiding the bitch part so she thinks, but Kathryn secretly dislikes her and is plotting against Cecile hoping to ruin her reputation.
* {{Betty and Veronica}}: With Court Reynolds as the Archie, she could be considered the Betty to Kathryn’s Veronica, though many other fans would consider her the Veronica to Kathryn’s Betty seeing as Court did leave Kathryn to date Cecile. To be fair, Cecile didn’t know Court abandoned Kathryn for her.
* {{Butt Monkey}}: The butt of all Kathryn’s viscous, mean pranks for revenge against Cecile unknowingly stealing Kathryn’s boyfriend.
* {{Spoiled Sweet}}: She doesn’t mean any harm and is merely sheltered and naive. Then again, she does make some mean comments about eating disorders amongst other things.
