* DidntThinkThisThrough: Billie, upon finding the diamonds, tossing them up in the air and coos, "It's raining diamonds!" Half of them fall into the swamp, but none of the characters seem to care. Tom Servo mutters, "''Not'' a good idea."

The film opens in the middle of Mardi Gras, with up-and-coming oil tycoon Bob Matthews promising to take his girlfriend Marie out into the Louisiana marshes to inspect some of his land holdings. Cut to the police station where plucky lady cop Lee Hampton learns she must undertake a dangerous mission to [[TheInfiltration infiltrate]] an all-girl gang, currently in prison, and recover a cache of stolen diamonds. Unfortunately, the only way to recover the diamonds is to join the so-called Nardo Gang and break them out of jail so they can lead Lee to where the diamonds were hidden - deep in the Louisiana marshes. The gang stumbles across Bob and Marie exploring the bayou and promptly takes them hostage. Lee, already having trust issues with the gang, now finds her cover story [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain increasingly harder to maintain as she tries to protect the hostages]] from the vengeful ladies. It's highly questionable whether ''any'' of them will make it out of the swamp alive.

* NonActionGuy: Bob the Hostage. Although he does get one action moment right at the end, when he blindsides Billie and knocks her out (while still tied up, no less) during Lee's big fight with Josie. There's another moment mid-film where he tries to help Lee save Marie from an alligator, but by the time he manages to swim out there the action is over.
