Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The boys from Angel Beach have clearly been friends their whole lives, and maybe there was a time when they actually enjoyed Pee Wee's company, but it's clear that by now they just tolerate him out of habit. [[TrueCompanions They can still count on each other when the situation gets serious, though]].


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousBreakdown: Porky is understandably devastated when his bar is destroyed. You almost pity him when he stumbles out of the ruins saying "Porky's is gone". Then he becomes genuinely scary as he pursues the boys. He was already a violent man, but this time, when he says "I'll kill 'em", you know he's not exaggerating. If he catches them, he will actually murder them.

Not a nurse, I reviewed the trope description to see if it included women outside the medical field, it does not, and it also describes a far more dangerous and violent type of character than Ms. Balbricker.

* HomeFieldAdvantage: Porky is a king in his home county, where he's the richest man around and has control of the police via his brother, but the ''exact second'' he crosses the county line, he's powerless and has to take whatever the local police (who are themselves untouchable in their home jurisdiction) choose to dish out.

** He would have been right to kick them out for being underage, but he wasn't right to dunk them in the swamp. He seemed to have done that because Tommy offended him. His door guard didn't seem to mind letting them in with Pee Wee's obviously wrong ID.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The titular Porky is undoubtedly the main villain of the film for throwing the boys out of his club, but he's also ''right'' in doing so because they're underage. He even explains outright to them that he can lose his liquor license if the boys are caught in his club.

* JewishSmartass: Brian Schwartz ends up on the receiving end of a lot of anti-Semitic antagonism and stereotypes; he usually responds by mouthing off, notably correcting a boy who called him a "kite" by explaining that the word he was looking for was "kike" before proceeding to tell him he was too stupid to be a good bigot.
