* UnfortunateImplications: One scene in ''Field of Screams'' involves [[SassyBlackWoman Black Cherry]] [[spoiler:getting lynched. By white ex-Confederates.]] It's PlayedForLaughs, of course. The actress who played her said that, when she described the scene to her grandmother, she flipped out.
** In the remake, Ricky, the bi guy, [[spoiler: has a spear rammed up his ass.]] Also played for laughs
