Hairspray was the one that came later


* SpiritualSuccessor: Amusingly enough, to ''Film/{{Hairspray}}''. Tracy Turnblad is essentially the sweet, good-natured version of Dawn Davenport.

"A lot" is two words.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The scene where Dawn fires into the crowd at the nightclub before getting into a shootout with the police and where numerous dead bodies are seen littering the floor is a lot less funny after one of the worst mass shootings in American history took place at a gay nightclub in 2016, claiming 50 lives. It gets worse when, during her trial, she says "[[http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/13/us/orlando-victims-profiles/ How could they not love dying if they're going to become famous for it?]]" That was the message of the film: people are obsessed with fame and don't care what they become famous ''for'', as seen by Dawn's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33BcqQLDCs4 acceptance speech]]" at the end of the film.

** "Mr. Wineberger, Dawn Davenport is eating a meatball sandwich ''right out'' in [[FunetikAksent CLAES]]. And she's been passing [[FunetikAksent NOATES]]," is heavily pointed out by viewers due to the actress's thick Baltimore accent right as she says the line.

Flame Bait and lacks the context to convert it to the correct You'd Expect/Instead format


* WhatAnIdiot: Taffy should've known better than to show up in front of Dawn after having joined the Hare Krishna movement and is still stubborn as ever after [[IllKillYou her mother's warning]]. [[OffingTheOffspring You can see what happens from there]].

* ParodyDisplacement: The song is actually "Black Velvet Soul" by Cookie Thomas, but most people know it as "Female Trouble" by Divine complete with new lyrics to fit the movie's story. Downplayed in that the theme song is not meant to be a parody of the original song. They just so happen to use the same backing track.

* ToughActToFollow: The film had to top one of the most trashy films in history, ''Film/PinkFlamingos''. While it's not as shocking, Waters thinks the story is more cohesive.

While this doesn't have the same type of cult following Pink Flamingos has, it surprisingly has a lot more critical respect as seen with the 88% Positive on Rotten Tomatoes.
