* HamAndCheese: Michael Pataki looked like he was [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously really making an effort]] with his role as JC. His performance may be over the top, but it's also genuinely disturbing.
* HoYay: JC with pretty much every other male character in the film.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** JC is [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow George Liquor]] and [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE6TheUnderdwellers Sewer King.]]
** After a great many b-movies and minor TV roles. Rommel's last role? [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption Landon Ricketts.]]
* TheScrappy: Crapout for his obnoxious attempts at being funny and because [[spoiler:he ditches Rommel during the battle against J.C. to save his own skin, though he does at least take out all his minions first]].
* SweetnessAversion: The opening montage of Rommel and Rita frolicking around a field, which feels straight out of an especially goopy RomanticComedy and fully out of place in a film like this.
* TearJerker: Honestly, watching Rommel wander aimlessly after Rita's death while "Only Love" plays in the background is pretty depressing.
* TooBleakStoppedCaring: It can be pretty hard to watch this movie if it wasn't for [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]].
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The film wants us to feel sorry for Paisley, but that's kind of hard considering every bad thing that happens in the movie is because she lied about getting raped by Rommel. Although considering that JC is a murderous psycho with a HairTriggerTemper, it was only a matter of time before he snapped.
