** TheSixthRanger: Penelope.
* ThemeAndVariationsSoundtrack: Three main themes appear throughout the movie, and ''boy'' does Samuel T Weston milk them for all they're worth!
* ThirdActMisunderstanding: {{Defied}}. Once things start to get hairy between Mark and Gleahan, they step aside and have a much-needed argument, opening up to each other about their true backstories and motives. Because of this talk, they finally become TrueCompanions.
* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: Most of Gleahan's problems would be solved if he would take a moment to step back and consider the situation. But no, he's dead-set on finishing his quest however he can.
* {{Troperiffic}}: In their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksr2S_4LCPw crowdfunding video,]] the production team called this "a movie full of tropey goodness." It helps that director [[Tropers/AwSamWeston Samuel T Weston]] is a [[TroperWorks Troper]] himself and created this very page![[note]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Kyi0WNg40 Dun-DUN-dun!]][[/note]]
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Mark, Gleahan, and Madison end up forming a pretty strong trio all on their own.
* WeirdnessCoupon: Gleahan has a whole season pass, letting people accept a lot of the crazy (and sometimes illegal) things he does.
* WholePlotReference: Downplayed. The movie has been described as "''Literature/DonQuixote'' for the Millennial age," but they only share the same initial premise. The actual plot varies wildly from the classic Spanish novel.
