History YMMV / FatalDeviation

** The Drug Baron, in general. The film clearly wants to portray him as a menacing, charismatic and classy villain in the vein of someone like Creator/LanceHenriksen in Film/HardTarget but the ultra low budget, terrible dialogue and Michael Regan's completely wooden and non-charismatic performance which make clear that he was only cast because he put up some of the money for the budget make him impossible to take seriously as a threat.

** In one scene, two {{Mook}}s are cutting up cocaine with a Dunnes Stores Value Club Card.

* WTHCastingAgency: Mikey Graham of the Irish boyband Boyzone as TheDragon. Yes, seriously. It just adds to the film's {{Narm}}. This was at the height of their fame too, so it's not as if he needed the money from a film that cost less than ten grand to make.

* {{Narm}}: "Fuck you and your gun, ya prick!"

* SpecialEffectFailure: It's glaringly obvious where muzzle flashes have been added in post-production.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Mikey, being played by the biggest name cast member, is the only one who looks like he's capable of acting in any way shape or form. [[EnsembleDarkhorse He's probably the most memorable character in the film.]]

* MartyStu - Jimmy. He doesn't even bother to change the name of his protagonist from his own.
* {{Narm}} - "Fuck you and your gun, ya prick!"

* SoBadItsGood: This film combines [[DullSurprise poor acting]] with [[{{Narm}} ridiculous dialogue]] wrapped up in a hilarious ExcusePlot with a side order of SpecialEffectsFailure. The result is priceless.

** The explosion from the car crash looks fairly tacked on too.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: It's glaringly obvious where muzzle flashes have been added in post-production.

* * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Just before the final battle (and the infamous car crash), a man in a cowboy hat and a speedo appears, takes off his speedo and jumps into a heated open-air bathtub (which is literally just an old bathtub propped over an open flame). The scene then changes to Jimmy driving and shooting at the Drug Lord bodyguards before crashing his car. After the crash and the ensuing explosion, the naked cowboy jumps out of his bathtub and runs off screen. His sudden presence in the film is never explained and he is never seen again. Bizarrely enough, he's ''credited'' for the role.

** After Nicola's capture by the bad guys, Jimmy has a {{Flashback}} to his memories of her. In the middle of the generic picnic/lovemaking memories, one scene is of him driving a motorbike and firing a handgun, while Nicola clings to his back in fear.
