5!! This movie provides examples of:
6* BlandNameProduct: The method of combat used to fight for the FP is a rip-off of ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' known as ''Beat Beat Revelation''.
7* FamilyThemeNaming: The characters J-TRO and B-TRO.
8* FunWithAcronyms: In this movie, "nigga" is an acronym that means Never Ignorant, Gettin' Goals Accomplished. This wasn't something invented for the movie (Music/TupacShakur used it as a song title), but it hasn't really caught on, and a few reviewers have suggested that the movie uses this convention solely so that [[NWordPrivileges it can have white people saying the n-word.]]
9* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: J-TRO is forced into playing ''Beat Beat Revelation''[[spoiler:while under the influence of a drink that was spiked with narcotics. He begins hallucinating, yet he still manages to win]].
10* InitialismTitle: ''The FP'', which stands for Frazier Park, the setting.
11* MundaneMadeAwesome: Two cliques in the sleepy mountain town of Frazier Park playing a video game to settle disputes is turned into an cyberpunk battle between good and evil.
12* ThePlace: The FP stands for Frazier Park, the setting.
13* PokeThePoodle: The heroes fight the villain because he's assumed control of the local liquor store and refuses service to people who aren't his friends. With no liquor, there are no bums, and with no bums, no one feeds the ducks.
14-->"How's a nigga gonna sort his shit out without ducks?!?"
15* SeriousBusiness: Battles for gang territory are fought with a DDR-style dance game.
