* MsFanservice: Jenna is an attractive young blonde who spends the majority of the movie in a revealing "renaissance wench" costume. This is apparently true in-universe as well, seeing as how her own brother seems to have a [[FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother weird incestuous crush on her]] and says that he's going to marry her.

Added DiffLines:

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Alex somehow thinks Satan Man might be his father in a costume (as there's an implication he might have seen him inside his father's house), because he nods positively after being asked "Dad?". And he really thinks it even after taking Alex's pistol and does, well, in the man's own words:
-->He could've killed me when he had the chance. Instead he took the gun, and he shot his own hand and then handed it back to me just to humiliate me, to show me he can keep on doing it forever.

* TheVoiceless: "Satan Man" never speaks. He implies that he can, but just doesn't. When he's with Jenna it's justified, since they were getting intimate with each other and hearing him speak a different voice would have ruined the moment.
