* DecontaminationChamber: Chatty, one of the neighbouring power plant workers, mentions having to take ''seven showers'' in ''one day''. This further emphasises how poorly maintained and unkempt the power plant is.



* {{Expy}}: Eddie's three friends from the neighbouring power plant (Chatty, Sickly and Worried) bear similarities to characters from the series.
** Chatty is the chubby one, and he tells what he thinks are interesting stories in strange ways, making him the Spudgun of the group, [[DecompositeCharacter although Steven O'Donnell plays the incompetent chef in this film]].
** Sickly fills Dave Hedgehog's shoes, being the shortest and also telling odd stories, only more sensibly than Chatty.
** Even though Nigel Planer had no role in ''Bottom'', Worried serves as a stand-in for Planer, being the tallest of the group, being the most concerned about the effect the power plant's poor maintenance is having on the environment like [[Series/TheYoungOnes Neil Pye]], and acting as a voice of reason for Chatty and Sickly like [[Series/FilthyRichAndCatflap Ralph Filthy]], as well as having a gruff and stoic attitude in both cases.

It was actually Gina who brought up Gino being the only fatality.


* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Gino is the only character confirmed to have died by the film's end. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.]]



* EyeScream: Richie gets a lit candle in the eye at one point. When he explains to Eddie, Eddie thinks he wants another one.
* GlassesCuriosity: Related to the Main/BlindWithoutEm entry above, Richie donned Eddie's glasses as a disguise. They were both rendered nearly blind as a result.

* GeorgeWashingtonSleptHere: After learning they have no food to serve at dinner, Richie laments that he was planning on having a plaque made saying "Gina Carbonara stayed here".
-->'''Eddie:''' Well, now you're gonna have to get a slightly bigger one, mate, saying: "Gina Carbonara stayed here... and thought it was shit."

* KarmaHoudini: Eddie and Richie are ''not'' nice people. They get two suitcases full of money and live the rest of their lives on a tropical island receiving blowjobs from Gina
* LampshadeHanging: In the final scene, it is pointed out that it is lucky that [[spoiler: only Gino]] died from the nuked fish, otherwise there would have been a moral question mark over our "heroes"' escape. Sadly, we only have Eddie's word for it; it sounds more like he's trying to convince Gina.
* LastWords: Hilariously Gino, before being knocked off the cliff-side into the ocean below.
-->'''Gino''': All I wanted was a shag!

* LiteralMinded:
** When Mrs. Nice asks Eddie if breakfast is "thrown in", Eddie replies "It depends on who's serving. I usually bring it in on a tray."
** When Gina tells Richie she would like her dinner salad "undressed" (as in, without dressing), he believes she means she wants to eat naked.

The Mean Brit has been disambiguated per TRS:[1]


* TheMeanBrit: Richie is even worse than [[Series/FawltyTowers Basil Fawlty]] in that a lot of what he does would make the United Nations wet their pants.

Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser. If both people display toxic behaviors, it's Romanticized Abuse. If the romantic partner is an unpleasant person but not outright abusive, then they are just a Jerk Ass.


* BastardBoyfriend: Gino Bolognese. Not only is he violent, possessive, and a suspected drug runner, he also slept with all three bridesmaids the night before his and Gina Carbonara's wedding.
