!Tropes for the film:
* AsHimself: Creator/BillyDeeWilliams makes an appearance.
* BigApplesauce: Takes place in New York City.
* HeadTurningBeauty: In the opening scene, every passerby can't taker their eyes off of Darlene "Woo" Barnes when she walks around the city.
* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Jada Pinkett and Duane Martin previously worked together on ''Film/Scream2''.
* MarilynManeuver: A breeze blows under the helm of Woo's loose-fitting, pink mini dress as she walks down a sidewalk, nearly high enough to show her goodies. A bicyclist ogling at her gets so distracted he doesn't watch where he's going, crashing into the side of a sewer pipe and falling off his bike.
* OneWordTitle: '''Woo'''.
* {{Tagline}}: "It's Woo's world... we're just living in it".
