* CompleteMonster: While ostensible BigBad Katherine dearly loves her boyfriend Steve, Steve himself only seems to try to use her for the prestige and power it gives him in the organization. Steve participates in hooking women on drugs and having them prostitute themselves with no recourse for freedom, murdering Foxy Brown's lover when he investigates them. Troublesome women are addicted to harder drugs and sent to brothels to be used and eventually killed in short order. When hunting for Foxy, Steve also murders her brother and his girlfriend, letting little stand in the way of his [[{{Greed}} hunt for profit]].

* ValuesDissonance: Foxy repeatedly uses "faggot" as a casual insult. To many modern viewers, this would just make her look like she's uneducated at best, and at worst like she's a disgusting bigot.
