* WhatAnIdiot: It probably wasn't a great idea for Mike to drive to a dead end at the observatory... on a weekend. A '''holiday''' weekend.
** Mike is really, really trigger happy.
** Jane at the beginning of the film: Standing around to gawk at Terry and Mike's attempted mugging, rather that fleeing from them (and from Al, who was about to rape her).

* JerkassWoobie: Terry is certainly not a very nice person, but then you have moments like her crying to herself and learning about her childhood where she [[UnreliableNarrator claims]] her elder sisters treated her like a scullery maid, and that her parents were significantly older when she was born.[[note]]Not an unusual occurrence in large families of the time, where the eldest child could be as much as 20 years older than their youngest sibling[[//note]] It's suggested that many of her actions is misdirected anger combined with Mike's ToxicFriendInfluence.

* DesignatedHero: Ben, and this is even lampshaded by Mike, because Ben is not very heroic, not in any way. Actually, his near-constant antagonism of Mike (even though he's right to be angry) nearly gets his mother and everyone else killed. It's actually Terry's cooler head that prevents things from getting worse from the family. The only vaguely heroic thing he does is chasing and punching Mike in the face ''after'' getting shot on the shoulder (which is quite a feat, considering).

* DepravedBisexual: Terry may be this. Mike's her boyfriend but she leers at the picture of Jane in a bathing suit and makes suggestive comments.
** Some of Mike's reactions to Ben might also suggest this.

* {{Narm}}: Plenty but especially: ''"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!"'', and each time everyone freezes up when the phone rings.
** Wait, there's more! Ben's bobbing head as he fights Mike at the observatory, or [[spoiler: Mike's crying over Terry.]] So much narm!
