** Even better: The beautiful women actually hang out around a local landmark that tourists usually avoid due to it being [[{{Irony}} "boring"]], and that one of the main characters had initially suggested visiting, only to be ignored.

* FanService: Michelle Trachtenberg has definitely grown into her looks (the first time we see her [[BabyGotBack she's bending over in tight jeans]]), but it takes a long time for the other characters to realise. Even after she flashes passing drivers in a bid to get them a ride ([[NotDistractedByTheSexy it doesn't work]] - see also ShowSomeLeg below). And then, of course, there's [[EverybodyRemembersTheStripper the girl in the hot tub]].

** It also turns up in the European release of the movie [[HilariousOuttakes and during the credits]], with Jenny actually ''jumping up and down and shouting'' while topless as more drivers go by. (That she has her back to the camera in the process [[YourMileageMayVary may qualify]] as more of the film's FanDisservice.)

* BondageIsBad: Club Vandersexx personifies this trope. Anybody familiar with BDSM knows that it doesn't work like that at all. BDSM establishments always clearly advertise themselves as such, and sessions always start with a domme interviewing her client to find out his likes, dislikes, and pain tolerance. And even the most hardcore dommes would balk at electrifying a client's testicles. Club Vandersexx comes off less like an S&M joint and more like a torture lair that poses as a sex club to lure victims.

* FridgeHorror: When Cooper first walks into Club Vandersexx, [[Music/LucyLawless the Dominatrix]] acknowledges the fact that he's American. If she's well aware that he's an American, she must have known that he wouldn't be able to pronounce the safeword that she wrote down. And as pointed out above, the safeword is written in some weird Scandinavian tongue that isn't even spoken in Amsterdam. So when she does the whole "session" with him, she's not providing the usual services that she would to a customer...she's just torturing Cooper for the hell of it and taunting him with the fact that he can't make her stop.
