| 9 | !Tropes for the film: |
| 10 | * BriarPatching: Joe Braxton begs a judge not to release him to his parole officer. When the judge ignores him, he and the parole officer exchange warm handshakes. |
| 11 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even though many of the children (and adults) on the bus are non-white, the Klansmen volunteer to help push the bus out of the mud when they're told that the kids are all blind. |
| 12 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Joe Braxton is a sleazy petty crook with a cynical outlook, but he grows to deeply care for the troubled children that he takes across the country. |
| 13 | * TheKlan: Humorously portrayed, as they end up helping a busload of schoolchildren get out of a mud hole, only to fall face-first into the mud. |
| 14 | * ShoutOut: To ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', as Joe sings the theme song when fishing. |
| 15 | * {{Tagline}}: "He's mad, he's bad, and he's Bustin' Loose!". |
