* AcceptableTargets: No one in the audience is really going to mind seeing neo-Nazi skinheads get mowed down in the course of the film.

Not YMMV


* AcceptableBreaksFromReality / AnachronismStew: It is extremely unlikely to the point of being essentially impossible for any post-90s punk band, especially one with implied anarchist views like the Ain't Rights, to accept and play a show for neo-Nazis, regardless of how much money was offered to them to do so. Had this film been set in the 1970s or 80s, when punk bands were often less focused in their politics and the DIY touring scene much rougher and more desperate, this scenario might be somewhat more plausible, not to mention the inherent lack of cellphones of that period creating a much more likely reason for the band's isolation.

* 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.



** The film opens with the band having gotten in a car accident, which is incredibly uncomfortable given how Anton Yelchin would die in ''a similar car accident'' a year later.

*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.

** Darcy is a murderous, dope-dealing white supremacist, but he's also an old man who just looks and sounds ''tired,'' long past the period where he believes in anything he espouses, and only keeps going because he needs the money the drugs bring in.

* HarsherInHindsight: 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.

Requires a 20-year waiting period.


* ValuesResonance: This is a movie about left-wing punks fighting for their lives against a gang of murderous, heroin-slinging neo-Nazis... and it came out ''before'' the aforementioned Charlottesville rally (see HarsherInHindsight). While the events since the movie's release have made the movie more viscerally frightening, they've also added an undeniable CatharsisFactor to the band turning the tables.
