!Tropes for the film:
* CigaretteBurns: Price is investigating why several people tortured themselves to death, including a woman dubbed The Human Ashtray by reporters. Turns out a GovernmentConspiracy to develop chemically-induced MindControl has GoneHorriblyWrong, causing the test subjects to invert pain and pleasure.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Lisa enlists Price to prove her research scientist father was murdered by a GovernmentConspiracy. It turns out that her father is very much alive and part of the conspiracy, to develop a mind-control drug, and she ends up killing him for real. Ironically Lisa has herself spent time in a mental institution, diagnosed as paranoid for insisting her father was murdered.
* PeopleJars: The movie ends with Price confronting the people behind a GovernmentConspiracy to develop a mind-control drug in a laboratory with nude women trapped inside glass cylinders filled with water and kept alive by scuba-style breathing apparatus.
* {{Tagline}}: "There's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Alan Price is about to cross that line".
