* EnsembleDarkhorse: Dallas is the most recognizable character in the movie, due to being portrayed by the attractive and statuesque Paulina Porizkova, her twisted sense of humor, perverted mindset, eagerness to murder and that she rapes the main character. She's the first of the visiting criminals to die and doesn't have relevance for more than half of the film, but she made the biggest impact. The fact that she's on the cover of the DVD case, and the poster of the main page, proves her to be this.
* FashionVictimVillain: Dallas in her red rubber dress. For a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] woman who would rape a married man to kill time, it's far from the most attractive or threatening things she could be wearing.

* RealismInducedHorror: One of the most well known aversions of DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale. It's not depicted as sexy or comical in the slightest, as Casey is shown genuinely traumatized by Dallas forcefully giving him an erection and raping him, even taunting the idea of making him betray his wife. Not only that, but he and Dallas have no history; she just met him, has no interest in him romantically or sexually and just didn't want to be bored. Not all rapists target people they know, some do it just for fun as Dallas herself did. The one saving grace of this is her death happened before she was finished. Dallas toyed with the idea that this would [[ChildByRape get her pregnant]]. If that had happened, Casey would have lived with the horror that he brought a child into this world behind his wife's back with a woman he doesn't love. And given how Dallas is, [[AbusiveParents she more than likely would not have treated her bastard child with any love or concern]].

** Nick was shown to have crossed this years ago via [[spoiler:murdering a pregnant girl]]. This even caused Casey too much disgust that he quitted.
** Ice crossed it for trying to kill Casey.
