History Film / SpringBreakers

* TokenReligiousTeammate: [[MeaningfulName Faith]] is shown at a Bible study group near the beginning. She's not only the only one among the girls to leave early as she's disturbed by the hedonistic setting they vacation to. None of the rest ever show any religious sentiments.

* FetishizedAbuser: Alien gets lucky with two hot young blondes...good for him, right? Well, [[spoiler:they put loaded guns in his mouth, further humiliating him by having a cheerful little discussion with each other over his head...this discussion being about whether or not they should just kill him and take all his stuff.]] His reaction is to [[LoveMartyrfall in love with them.]]

* FetishizedAbuser: Alien gets lucky with two hot young blondes...good for him, right? Well, [[spoiler:they put loaded guns in his mouth, further humiliating him by having a cheerful little discussion with each other over his head...this discussion being about whether or not they should just kill him and take all his stuff.]] [[StockholmSyndrome His reaction is to fall in love with them.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: While Alien is an established rapper in-universe, it's strongly hinted that he has a learning disability and possibly might be a bit touched as well - he repeats himself ''constantly'' and we later see that his ''entire internal monologue'' takes the form of a repetitive rap poem that begins to sound like a VerbalTic after a while. The man clearly has problems.

** It's no surprise that Faith is depicted as being religious, in some aspect.

** Big Arch is the ArcVillain of the movie's final part and the confrontation against him puts a cap on the ''big'', over''arch''ing story.

** One scene shows two of the girls watching ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' on a laptop (to be even more specific, they're watching [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E11WinterWrapUp "Winter Wrap Up"]]).

* GenderBlenderName:
** Alien's name is pronounced like the traditionally feminine name "Aileen." This could be due to his extremely strong accent, but the girls pronounce it "Aileen" too.
** Many people not familiar with Harmony Korine's work were surprised to find out that he's actually a man.

* BottomlessMagazines: Played with. There was a reloading sound after Candy and Brit shot the gangster who killed Alien, even as no reloading motion accompanied it. To keep costs down, several "pop guns", or low-pressure blank-only guns intended for special effects, are used in the movie; their magazines are theoretically capable of keeping up with that many shots during the RoaringRampageOfRevenge, though.

** When the girls try to build up their courage prior to the Chicken Shack robbery, one of them says "Just pretend it's a video game." [[spoiler: The final shootout itself is very video game-like in its structure.]]

* BailEqualsFreedom: There is no mention of the girls receiving any further punishment or trial after they're cited and Alien bails them out.

* TokenReligiousTeammate: [[MeaningfulName Faith]] is shown at a Bible study group near the beginning. She's not only the only one among the girls to leave early as she's disturbed by the hedonistic setting they vacation to, none of them ever show any religious sentiments.

* ActionGirl: Brit, Candy and Cotty all seem like ordinary girls in their late teens, but embark on a violent armed robbery. They wield guns and hammers while doing so. [[spoiler:At the end of the film Brit and Candy go on a killing spree, gunning down Big Arch along with his men wiedling automatic weapons. Where the pair learned to do this is really anyone's guess.]]

''Spring Breakers'' is a 2013 [[GenreBusting comedy-drama-arthouse-crime-exploitation film]] written and directed by Creator/HarmonyKorine, starring notable {{teen idol}}s Music/SelenaGomez, Music/VanessaHudgens, and Creator/AshleyBenson in their first [[SheIsAllGrownUp "adult"]] film roles, alongside Creator/JamesFranco and Rachel Korine.

The film revolves around four female college students looking to split campus for spring break in Florida, but there's a snag in their plan: they don't have nearly enough cash to cover the trip. As a means of covering the costs, they do what anybody else in their situation ''obviously'' would, and that's to [[TheCaper rob a fast-food place for quick money.]] Once they have enough to go, they enjoy all the [[DrugsAreBad typical]] [[ReallyGetsAround activities]] of a spring break trip...[[{{Prison}} until they end up in jail]]. As if their trip couldn't go any more wrong, they're inexplicably bailed out by a drug-dealing, wannabe rapper. And somehow, [[FromBadToWorse it goes even more downhill from there.]]

** There's a number of lesbian make out scenes during the spring break party that the guys' like, too.

* TheyDo: Candy and Brit have oodles and oodles of LesYay with one another, and finally...yeah. They act on it while having a {{threeway|sex}} with Alien.

* TokenReligiousTeammate: [[MeangingfulName Faith]] is shown at a Bible study group near the beginning. She's not only the only one among the girls to leave early as she's disturbed by the hedonistic setting they vacation to, none of them ever show any religious sentiments.

* MrFanservice: The girls only wear their bikinis once they reach Florida [[spoiler:unless they decide to be PutOnABus]], while all of them are good-looking.

** There's a number of lesbian make out scenes during the spring break party, too.

* BattleHarem: Alien has Candy and Brit.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Except Faith.

* {{Fanservice}}: On the other hand, the girls only wear their bikinis once they reach Florida [[spoiler:unless they decide to be PutOnABus]] and Alien is almost always seen without his shirt...

* UsefulNotes/{{Florida}}: St. Petersburg, specifically. The film was, along with 2014's ''Film/SexEd'', part of a wave of movies filmed in the area during a period in which the Tampa and St. Petersburg municipal governments were providing heavy incentives to draw in the film industry.

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Brit and Candy invoke this during their threesome by making out in front of Alien.
** To be fair, they DID seem to be pretty into one another prior to their encounter...

** And Big Arch is getting two girls to make out in the shower before [[spoiler:he gets shot]].

* ShoutOut: Lots, with some of the most notable being a few ''Film/{{Scarface|1983}}'' references and a rendition of [[Music/BritneySpears "...Baby One More Time."]] And, of course, Alien keeping up the alien theme by referencing ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''Franchise/StarWars'' wherever appropriate.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The delicate ''Britney Spears'' ballad "Everytime" plays over a violent scene.

* ThreeWaySex: Brit, Candy, and Alien.
** TheyDo: Candy and Brit have oodles and oodles of LesYay with one another, and finally...yeah.

* TwoPersonPoolParty: Three person version with Alien, Brit, and Candy.
* [[WhiteGangBangers White Gang Banger]]: Alien, who claims to have been [[TokenWhite the only white guy in his neighborhood growing up]]. His twin cronies also count, not to mention Brit and Cotty.

* BastardGirlfriend: Alien gets lucky with two hot young blondes...good for him, right? Well, [[spoiler:they put loaded guns in his mouth, further humiliating him by having a cheerful little discussion with each other over his head...this discussion being about whether or not they should just kill him and take all his stuff.]] [[StockholmSyndrome His reaction is to fall in love with them]].

* HairContrastDuo: The only two people who experience any sort of regret for their actions are Cotty and Faith. Cotty has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pink hair]], while Faith has dark brown hair, in contrast to the Candy and Britt's very bleached blonde hair.
