* BlackComedy: The climactic fight between [[spoiler:the fight club alongside the football team and the Huntington team, as most of the latter team ends up dead by the end, but the ending treats this like a heroic victory, with the school cheering the girls on and Josie and Isabel sharing a kiss while there are dead bodies around them.]]
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: The fight club tries to exploit this near the end to distract the football players [[spoiler:so that the Huntington team won't kill Jeff]] by having two of the cheerleaders make out. PJ ends up kissing Hazel, which gets them their distraction.
* HypocriticalHumor: After the aforementioned distraction kiss, one spectator complains about cutting the "dyke fest" so they can proceed with the football game and he can watch some "man on man grabbing".

''Bottoms'' is a 2023 comedy film from writer/director Emma Seligman (''Film/ShivaBaby''). Seligman co-wrote the script with Rachel Sennott, who stars alongside Creator/AyoEdebiri, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Nicholas Galitzine, and Marshawn Lynch.
PJ (Sennott) and Josie (Edebiri) are dorky queer high school seniors hoping to get lucky before they graduate. After an incident involving their school's star quarterback Jeff (Galitzine), the girls cover up their problem by telling their principal that are starting a self-defense club for female solidarity. In reality, PJ and Josie use their "fight club" as a way to hook up with the respective cheerleader crushes, Brittany (Gerber) and Isabel (Liu).

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:One of the Huntington football players gets run through with a sword.]]
