6	!!This film provides examples of:
7
8	* ActorAllusion: An interesting example; Creator/PaulLynde makes a reference to ''The Perils of Pauline'' in this movie. Lynde voiced the Hooded Claw on ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', which was based on ''The Perils of Pauline''. However, these movies was made about four years before ''The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.''
9	* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Parodied with Eric Von Zipper and his Malibu Rat Pack, who are anything but {{Badass Biker}}s.
10	* AsHimself: Newspaper columnist Earl Wilson plays himself.
11	* CardCarryingVillain: South Dakota Slim. "I got ideas...and they're all vile."
12	* CastingGag: Deborah Walley was in another surf and romance film, ''Gidget Goes Hawaiian''.
13	* CatchPhrase: Eric Von Zipper has two.
14	** "I adore her."
15	** "Why me? Why me all the time?"
16	* ConveyorBeltOfDoom: [[spoiler:Sugar Kane]] ends up in one. [[spoiler:Although she escapes, her place is taken by Eric Von Zipper, and he doesn't fare as well.]]
17	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Von Zipper's henchwomen free Sugar Kane from [[spoiler:being sawed in half by South Dakota Slim]] because "we may be rotten, but we're not ''that'' rotten."
18	* GreenAroundTheGills: Annette literally turns green while skydiving.
19	* InterspeciesRomance: Between Bonehead and a mermaid named Lorelai.
20	* IronButtMonkey: Eric Von Zipper suffers all manner of AmusingInjuries, culminating in [[spoiler:surviving being sawed in two!]]
21	* LoudGulp: Bullets gives a double-gulp after being introduced to the bikers Puss & Boots.
22	* LumbermillMayhem: The climax takes place in a sawmill, where [[spoiler:South Dakota Slim has taken Sugar Kane]]. Bullets even mentions that it's like something out of ''The Perils of Pauline''.
23	* NonIndicativeTitle: No, their bingo chips aren't bugged or anything...
24	* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Lorelai. She is able to grow legs for a short time and is over three centuries old.
25	* PublicityStunt: Sugar Kane's agent promotes her album by having a StuntDouble skydive out of an airplane. Later in the film, Sugar mistakenly thinks that Eric von Zipper kidnapping her is another one of these publicity stunts.
26	* Really700YearsOld: Lorelai is 300 years old, and Bonehead immediately points out she doesn't look it.
27	* ShoutOut: Buster Keaton's attire and movements are much like those in his silent movies. During the end credits he does a bit straight out of ''Film/SherlockJr'', jumping towards a trio of girls, only for the camera to cut to a new scene where the girls are now behind him.
28	* SlipperySwimsuit: Buster accidentally hooks a woman's bikini top while fishing.
29	* WalkingSwimsuitScene: As with all the beach party movies, most of the female cast is in bikinis most of the time.
