1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: Basically every time the band manages to turn it around on the Nazis is ''amazing.'' Pat's RefugeInAudacity trick, Amber [[spoiler: opening Big Justin up with a boxcutter,]] and [[spoiler: Darcy getting his brains blown out]] probably top the list.
2* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler:After watching the neo-Nazis slaughter an entire punk band, seeing the final survivors turn the table and kill Darcy is ''incredibly satisfying'']].
3* CompleteMonster: [[EvilOldFolks Darcy]] is the aging leader of a gang of [[ThoseWackyNazis Neo-Nazis]], out to cover up his massive drug running business when the Ain't Rights band stumbles into it. Though playing himself off as a reasonable man to try to trick the band into surrendering to him and keep his men in line, Darcy [[BadBoss abuses his gang on a whim]] and actually intends to have the entire band either ripped apart by fighting dogs or butchered with machetes, then [[ThisBearWasFramed frame their deaths as wild animal attacks]] to cover his tracks. Darcy maims and kills several of the Ain't Rights this way--having one of his own members shot dead when he tries to help the group escape--and later fatally poisons the drug stash of some of his other minions, killing them all [[YouHaveFailedMe as punishment for unintentionally exposing Darcy's heroin trade]] to the Ain't Rights.
4* CultClassic: This movie did ''[[BoxOfficeBomb astoundingly]]'' poorly in theaters, but between its massive critical acclaim and its almost immediate ValuesResonance, it's picked up a noticeable cult following.
5* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
6** Even in an impressively dark and intense movie such as this, the BrickJoke at the end regarding desert island bands is ''hilarious''.
7** Also, the fact that once the Ain't Rights realize they're in a Nazi bar, they start their set off with [[RefugeInAudacity 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off']] by the Music/DeadKennedys.
8* HarsherInHindsight:
9** A summer thriller about violent, murderous Neo-Nazis murdering teenagers became much harder to watch the following year, when ''actual'' Neo-Nazis descended on Charlottesville, Virginia, sparking violent clashes with police and protesters that left at least one young woman dead.
10** The film opens with the band having gotten in a car accident, which is incredibly uncomfortable given how Creator/AntonYelchin would die in ''a similar car accident'' a year later.
11* JerkassWoobie: If you listen closely, you can hear Amber give her explanation for why she hangs around neo-Nazis. She heavily implies[[labelnote:note]]And in the script, confirms it[[/labelnote]] that she was raped by men of color at one point. She's also the most violent and ready to kill out of the good guys.
12* {{Narm}}: If Creator/PatrickStewart's performance isn't [[NightmareFuel frightening]] to you, hearing [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Captain Picard]] spout racial slurs can be oddly hilarious.
13* NightmareFuel:
14** Werm dragging Emily around the floor by the handle of the [[spoiler: knife stuck in her head]].
15** What happens to [[spoiler: Pat's]] [[{{Fingore}} arm]].
16** The deaths of [[spoiler: Tiger and Sam]]: being mauled to death by an angry pit bull.
17** [[spoiler: Reece's death]] as well: after leaping headlong out of a window he is stabbed repeatedly by the Nazis, who are then instructed by Darcy to let him slowly bleed to death to simulate a realistic death from wild animal injuries.
18** Amber's killing of [[spoiler: Big Justin,]] if you don't land on the side of finding it [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments awesome.]]
19** Creator/PatrickStewart's performance as Darcy. Just hearing a voice one would normally associate with grandfatherly wisdom say racial slurs is cringe-inducing.
20* {{Squick}}: The violence and gore in the film is extremely realistic: Big Justin and Daniel's deaths stand out, as does [[spoiler: Pat's mutilated arm]].
21* {{Tearjerker}}:
22** The agonised screaming and crying of [[spoiler: Pat]] after his arm is mutilated.
23** [[spoiler: After Clark is killed, his injured dog seeks him out and [[UndyingLoyalty lies down to die next to him.]]]]
