This magnificent line from Rod [=McCain=].



** Bugsy accidentally killing Rod? Shocking. Rollo going into a ''vicious'' tirade over how he's screwed all of them with this mindless action? Shocking ''and'' funny.
** Vince hating Rod for his abuse is tragic. His ''punching'' his father's corpse [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing while acting like he won the lottery is fantastic.]]



* LoveToHate: Vince is a massive douche, and he's also pretty brilliant at it. His sheer desire to get Willa into bed despite her obvious indifference almost makes him endearing.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** The extended sequence where the zookeepers try to make Rollo think the animals have gone carnivorous - complete with fake blood prosthetics. Rollo realises what's happened and shoots some cutlery just to scare the keepers. But another one - who wasn't in on the joke - comes in from the aftermath. Seeing the 'wound' and having heard the gunshot, thinks Rollo has shot Lotterby. Later when the angry mob is all riled up, he shows them Lotterby's 'wound'. Cue mass angry screams.
** Rollo also thinks that a woman who fell is part of the joke. Convinced that her blood is fake, he licks it. This is badly timed to Willa and Vince arriving.
---> '''Willa:''' So ''you're'' Rollo Lee?
---> '''Angry Woman:''' Christopher Lee more like!
** Pip and Cub find out that Rollo didn't kill the animals after all, and immediately jump into his arms to smother him with kisses. This coincides with Vince and Willa walking by with investors. [[NotWhatItLooksLike It looks like Rollo's about to have a threesome]].
---> '''Vince:''' This is a family zoo, not the Playboy mansion, you pervert!
** When Rollo and Willa finally start making out on the desk, Vince walks in while Rollo has Willa's face concealed.
---> '''Vince:''' For God's sakes, Rollo, not again. How do you do it?! I'm gonna call the zoo vet and have you fixed! Just get the bimbo out of Miss Weston's off--
---> ''(He sees it's Willa. Cue panic.)''

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Cub isn't the most prominent of the keepers, but she may be the best-liked (after [[MotorMOuth Buggsy]], who's fourth in the credits) for some comedic MsFanservice moments and for the dedicated efforts she puts into helping all of the animals, even though her own are safe under Rollo's fierce creatures policy.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Mrs Pike, the woman whose blood [[ItMakesSenseInContext Rollo licks]], might be recognisable to ''Series/CoronationStreet'' fans as Bev Unwin.
* SoOkayItsAverage: Critical reception was mixed, favouring that it was a decent film but nowhere near as good as ''Film/AFishCalledWanda''.
* ToughActToFollow: ''Film/AFishCalledWanda'' got three Oscar nominations, and Kevin Kline a win for Best Supporting Actor. Michael Palin and John Cleese also got BAFTA awards, while Jamie Lee Curtis was nominated. This film didn't get any awards love and was viewed as inferior to its predecessor.

* CompleteMonster: Rod [=McCain=]. The only thing he cares about is his stash of billions of dollars and doesn't care about his own workers or the people's business he takes over. But what makes him a CompleteMonster is his [[AbusiveParents horrible treatment]] ''of his own son'' (Vince). It gets worse when he even tries to have his own son arrested only because he stole his father's money, money that he never share with his son anyway. When Rod has his KarmicDeath, the audience will definetly cheer.

* CompleteMonster: Hilariously subverted. On first viewing, anyone who hears gunshots after the keeper's ultimatum scene will immediately assume Rollo has just [[MoralEventHorizon shot 5 adorable animals in cold blood]]. The very next scene is Rollo in his room with said animals, trying to keep them secret. As an added PetTheDog, he even remembers them all by name.
** Willa thinks she has overheard sextalk, and then sees a sheep coming out from Rollo's room. What is one supposed to think?
