* AluminumChristmasTrees: Many reviews have stated that the major plot point regarding the D.A. appealing a guilty verdict and demanding a harsher sentence is impossible and against the Fifth Amendment. However, even though the USA have an unusual law which prohibits the prosecution from appealing acquittals in criminal cases, the prosecution can still appeal guilty verdicts and demand harsher sentences. Such appeals are a common practice[[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/06/05/can-a-federal-court-of-appeals-increase-an-appellants-sentence/]] all over the world.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Chains Cooper]] is the leader of a ruthless [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain white supremacist]] biker gang called the Brotherhood, who live under one creed: "God forgives, the Brotherhood doesn't." Overseeing the wanton violence of the Brotherhood, including a giddy killing spree and the murder of a judge who indicts one of their members, Chains enacts a plan to assassinate district attorney Brent Whipperton during the trial of the Brotherhood member.

After learning about the presence of undercover cop [[TheHero Joe Huff]] in his midst, Chains [[UngratefulBastard murders the man who sold Joe out]], shoots his own girlfriend Nancy to spite Joe, and orders Joe chucked from a helicopter and blown up, before leading the Brotherhood on an assault on the courthouse which ends with Whipperton and several judges presiding the trial dead and the rest of the audience made hostage. Viciously intolerant of any perceived threat to his freedom as a criminal, be it legal prosecution or mere questioning of his authority, Chains lives and dies a smooth-spoken psychopath willing to pile up a trove of corpses [[ForTheEvulz to jolly himself]].

Added DiffLines:
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Joe's bizarre attire in particular as well as the faux-heavy metal/hard rock soundtrack are dead ringers for an early 90s film. There are also lots of bandanas, poofy hair, acid washed jeans, and boxy men's suits.

Added DiffLines:
* NauseaFuel: Every single member of the Brotherhood, including Nancy, seems to be covered in grease, dirt, or sweat at all times. You can practically ''smell'' this film. Not to mention how despite their general filth, Chains tosses Nancy at Joe the first chance he gets, which implies she's been ridden like a bike by every guy initiated with the Brotherhood.
Added DiffLines:
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The film seems to try to be painting Nancy as a sympathetic character, but she willingly has been cavorting around with drug dealing white supremacists who kill gleefully every chance they get. She comes across as a whiny DamselInDistress moreso than someone we feel Joe should go out of his way to help. It's possible the film realized this considering her fate: [[spoiler: getting her head blown off by Chains.]]
