Tropes for the film:
- Chicken Joke: The movie begins with the characters working on the chain gang. One of them raises the question, "Why did the armadillo cross the road?". This turns out to be a trick question, as the armadillo is roadkill.
- Repetitive Name: Wayne Wayne Wayne, Jr.
- Tagline: "Escaped convicts disguised as beauty pageant experts? This could get ugly".
- Working on the Chain Gang: The movie begins with the protagonists' escape from a chain gang.
