| 1 | * DesignatedHero: Rod; highlighted by the bots when they note (whilst erroneously labeling him an AntiHero) that the only "heroic" action he takes the entire film is to flash his headlights at a passing police car. To elaborate on the "error" mentioned: their definition of AntiHero is pretty much accurate (in particular, Rod fits into the definition of the "classical" antihero -- spineless, ineffectual, etc.); but the film plays Rod up as a straight-up Hero, not as an antihero of '''any''' stripe. On the other hand, it's worth noting that he '''was''' willing to infiltrate a notoriously dangerous biker gang. Eventually. |
| 2 | * MoralEventHorizon: The gun shop robbery-murder scene. The uncut version is actually a lot more brutal. The salesman isn't just shot (as seen in the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] version)... he gets his head kicked like a football during a field goal. His neck is apparently broken in the process & he bleeds from the mouth (Banjo & Fats mock his bloody mouth). It's a rather edgy scene in an otherwise rather goofy musical (somewhat)/biker film. [[https://youtu.be/w-nx2MkU1Ko?t=48m16s Here's the bit, starting around the 48:20 mark.]] |
| 3 | * RetroactiveRecognition: Believe it or not, that's Santa Claus from ''Film/AChristmasStory'' as Fats. |
| 4 | * RootingForTheEmpire: Sure, the Satans Angels are a group of sadistic bloodthirsty psychos, but they're a lot more interesting to watch than bland Rod. |
