The Band

- Signature Song: "Understanding in a Car Crash".
The Film
- Best Known for the Fanservice: Paulina Porizkova stripping naked in the scene where her character forces herself on a man is perhaps the film's best known scene.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In the scene where Billy Hill comes to Casey’s house and kills Dallas, the camera suddenly cuts to outdoors when an ice cream truck drives by with its chime on. It serves no purpose and is never brought up again.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Dallas is the most recognizable character in the movie, due to being portrayed by the attractive and statuesque Paulina Porizkova, her twisted sense of humor, perverted mindset, eagerness to murder and that she rapes the main character. She's the first of the visiting criminals to die and doesn't have relevance for more than half of the film, but she made the biggest impact. The fact that she's on the cover of the DVD case, and the poster of the main page, proves her to be this.
- Fashion-Victim Villain: Dallas in her red rubber dress. For a sociopathic woman who would rape a married man just to kill time, it's far from the most attractive or threatening thing she could be wearing.
- Magnificent Bastard: Casey Wells is a former career criminal whose past eventually catches up on him. In the past, Casey and his partner-in-crime Nick successfully killed a drug lord and all his henchmen, but when one of the dead people turned out to be a pregnant woman, Casey decided to quit the criminal lifestyle for good. In the present time, Nick comes to visit him and leaves his briefcase of drugs and has hidden his $2 million somewhere near the house. Several people including a hitman and two of Nick's associates shows up to get the drugs or money but Casey gets by each and everyone of them. When a corrupt detective shows up and gives Casey some time to find Nick's money, Casey finds it and decides to call the hitman's employers to come and pick up the drugs, only to escape with the money while the detective gets killed by the gangsters when he returns.
- Memetic Mutation:Billy: They got the Wong house! They got the Wong house!
- Moral Event Horizon: Each person who visits Casey during the film crosses this.
- Nick was shown to have crossed this years ago via murdering a pregnant girl. This even caused Casey too much disgust that he quitted.
- Ice crossed it for trying to kill Casey.
- Dallas crossed for deciding to rape Casey for no reason other than to kill time, even stating she'll kill him afterwards, gloating about how she's essentially forcing him to cheat on his wife and even hoping she'll get pregnant from it.
- Billy crosses it for killing Dallas during said rape (not to save Casey, but because he didn't like her) and deciding to torture Casey.
- Realism-Induced Horror: One of the most well known aversions of Double Standard Rape: Female on Male. It's not depicted as sexy or comical in the slightest, as Casey is shown genuinely traumatized by Dallas forcefully giving him an erection and raping him, even taunting him on the idea of making him cheat on his wife. Not only that, but he and Dallas have no history; she just met him, has no interest in him romantically or sexually and just didn't want to be bored. Not all rapists target people they know, some do it just for fun as Dallas herself did. The one saving grace of this is that she was killed before she could finish. Furthermore, Dallas toyed with the idea that this would get her pregnant; if that had happened, Casey would have lived with the horror that he brought a child into this world behind his wife's back with a woman he doesn't love, and given how Dallas is, she more than likely would not have treated her bastard child with any love or concern.
- Spiritual Successor: To the work of Tarantino. Many viewers and critics have assumed this was one of his works before realizing it's Skip Woods's.
