* MobDebt: During the film's opening, Poor Girl's mother has racked up a lot of debt to the local loan shark, Big Razor, resulting in Poor Girl reluctantly agreeing when Big Razor demands a night with her in exchange for paying off the debts. Fortunately, it turns out that Big Razor is, in fact, Big Razor Sister, a cross-dresser who just wants someone to hang out and do girly things with.

* MistakenForIncest: Poor Girl is briefly deterred from pursuing her crush Anthony after her mother mistakes Anthony for a son that she gave up for adoption years ago, as the son was adopted by a Swiss couple, just as Anthony was. It later turns out that Anthony is ''not'' her son; her actual long-lost son is a vagrant named Hans.
