* ValuesDissonance: Although this minor, during speech class one girl actually said she wants to be the love slave of Creator/AlPacino, despite the fact he was in his 50s at the time of the movie’s release. If someone like her had actually said that in school today, the school would most likely call her parents about this and have her see the school psychologist.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The movie could have not only been more interesting but also gain itself a likable underdog if the film just centered on Wiley overcoming his struggles through high school and winning the affections of Nikki, while taking Mitchell out of the film entirely.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film was created as a response to the in-line skating fad of TheNineties. Also feels like a commercial for said decade.

* BrokenAesop: The film apparently tries to convey the message that being peaceful is the best way to handle things, and the protagonist refuses to fight anyone...but he has no problem antagonizing bullies, and ultimately he teams up with a group of violent thugs.
** Speaking of such, the final race was to get the 'Preps' to stop treating people like they're better then them. To do so, he teams up with the school bullies, ones who treat the preps just as badly.
