YMMV: The Hooker With A Heart Of Gold
  • Complete Monster: Both Zalman and Steele are played for laughs. Mike's role, however is played very seriously.
    • The hooker's brother, Freddy. He faked the letter from her dad, since her dad died months before (and she didn't know), just so he could get her to turn up and he could see how bad her life was.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: In part 2, the hooker knocks Matty out, takes his gun and shoots Zalman with it.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The whole entire soundtrack! Not one single song is out of place.
  • Fetish Fuel: Hookers, Brad Jones's voice, a Woobie drunk Mad Scientist, mobsters in nice suits, Brad Jones's voice, Jillian's ... tracts of land ... the movie is a goldmine of Fetish Fuel.
  • Nausea Fuel / Nightmare Fuel: One scene has Steele threatening his love interest (actually Brad's Real Life wife) by threatening to kill her like he did his ex girlfriend. He does this by showing her the body of his ex, which is locked away in a room bathed in Red lighting, then proceeds to have sex with his current girlfriend in front of the dead body.
    • ...so... No mention of the heart removal scene from the end of part 4, set to Neil Young's "Heart of Gold"?
  • What an Idiot: During the chase scene in Part 1, the hooker runs into an alley and looks around the corner. As soon as Zalman appears, what she should have done was pull back... what she did do was keep looking, allowing him to see her.
  • The Woobie: The hooker.
    • Janet. She gets forcibly given to Steele.
