Two inmates try to kill Baby. She disembowels them.them.
** As a non-fatal example, Baby enters a knife-throwing competition, and two contestants taunt her and make aggressive sexual advances. They insist she'll have to sleep with them if she loses... not knowing, of course, that Baby killed a victim in the previous movie by throwing a knife into her heart.



* ChekhovsGun: Baby steals a decorative bow and arrow from one of her victims, and later uses it to dispatch the Black Satans.



* DevelopingDoomedCharacters: Virgil Harper is an obviously doomed character, but the film takes time to establish him as well as his colleague before they're predictably slaughtered by the three.



* DrivesLikeCrazy: Foxy and Otis discuss that the cops would discover them if Baby were allowed to drive for even a few minutes.



* ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans: Día de Los Muertos is apparently being celebrated in Mexico when Otis and Baby arrive.

to:

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Despite being touted as the deadliest group of hitmen in Mexico, the Black Satans fail to defeat the three, and can't even really injure them. Two blast into the room where Otis is staying and riddle his two prostitutes with bullets, but there's not a scratch on him.
* ItsAlwaysMardiGrasInNewOrleans: Día de Los Muertos is apparently being celebrated in Mexico when Otis and Baby arrive. Justified as Baby got the idea from a tourist who was celebrating Halloween by dressing as a stereotypical Mexican, and the holiday is celebrated the day after Halloween.



* RapeDiscretionShot: Otis sexually threatens one of his victims. When we next see her she's naked and bruised.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler:Aquarius has the three dead to rights, with two of them bound and helpless, but frustratingly enough, elects to allow a drawn-out machete fight rather than just shooting them all and getting his revenge.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After breaking out of prison, Otis later eats a can of beans, calling them the greatest beans on Earth. Otis had been in prison for 10 years and had been eating nothing but unsavory food.
-->'''Otis:''' Is it just me or are these the greatest fucking beans on Earth?\\
'''Foxy:''' It's just you. Takes a while to get that prison slop out of your taste buds.

* DracoInLeatherPants: An In-Universe example. In the news cast segments during the opening of the film, it cuts to random people who believe that the Firefly family are innocent, that they’re a product of a flawed and corrupt system and believe that they deserved to be free. This is in-spite of the fact that they have tortured and murdered random people for their own sick, twisted pleasure.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: There is no mention of Rondo's business partner Billy Ray from the second film; Diamond Dallas Page was interested in returning for this film, but unfortunately Rob Zombie couldn't think of a way to naturally include him. Though following Billy Ray's absence from this film, it can be implied that he either was arrested along with Rondo (until he either was sent to a different prison, or was with another chain gang separate from Rondo and Otis if he were in the same prison as them), got killed by the police during Rondo's arrest, or is still at large.

** Surprisingly, ''Otis'' of all people gets a moment like this, similar to Captain Spaulding in the climax of the previous movie. He tries to take the blame for one of Baby's murders while Baby insists it's hers as Rondo is torturing the family.

** Surprisingly, ''Otis'' of all people gets a moment like this, similar few of these moments with Baby. Most notable when he tells Aquarius to Captain let her go during the final showdown, saying she had nothing to do with it. Baby yells defiantly, prompting Otis to tell her to shut up, just as Spaulding did in the climax of the previous movie. He tries film when he tried to take get her off the blame for hook with Wydell by claiming one of Baby's murders her kills.
** Another instance being their goofing around shortly after arriving in Mexico. Baby sniffs herself, saying she needs a shower. She then jokingly tells Otis to smell her, prompting him to refuse
while Baby insists it's hers making a cross sign with his fingers to keep her away as Rondo is torturing the family.they both laugh.

* LampshadeHanging: The scene where Otis and Baby remember all of the family members they've lost leads to both of them saying it's "just the two of us", a nod to the fact that Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie are the only two actors left from the original cast of ''House of 1000 Corpses.'' The fact that they completely ignore [[ConvenientReplacementCharacter Foxy]] for a few seconds while saying this only furthers the point, and Foxy ultimately saying "Come on, man, shit, what am I, fucking invisible or what?" afterwards [[UpToEleven may as well be a lampshade of its own]].
