1 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Rachael is ripe for interpretation. Did she feel anything for Jeff? It's notably after conning him that [[spoiler: she turns her back on Hidell]]. Did she love him or just like him enough to feel bad about what she's doing? Or was he just the last straw in a series of victims? For that matter, did Jeff feel anything for her or did he just see her as something to own? Even the actors themselves have different opinions; Rebecca Rose Flynn felt that they simply needed each other at that moment in time, while Bobby Calloway felt Jeff at least was madly in love with Rachael. |
2 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: |
3 | ** Sleep Thieves "Is This Ready?", both in the trailer and a montage halfway through the film. Haunting and eerie, it sets up the tension perfectly. |
4 | ** "Counterfeit" by Le Group Fantastique, which plays over the sequence of nabbing Vadik from the club. It's the perfect neo noir anthem, with an air of CyberPunk too. |
5 | * DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Jeff's method of scamming desperate singles is an incredibly nasty thing to do, but damn if it is effective. |
6 | * EvilIsCool: There's no denying that Hidell with his BigFancyHouse, always being one step ahead of everyone and how easily he's able to fool people is very cool. |
7 | * SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: |
8 | ** When discussing how best to find Vadik in the club, Jeff theorises that he'll probably be "low key" or "the quiet type". GilliganCut to Vadik wearing a pair of mad neon glasses, dancing wildly and drunk out of his mind. |
9 | ** Vadik tells Cormac that transport will be waiting for him. When Cormac goes to the location, it turns out it's a single bicycle. That he then has to cycle all the way out into the countryside. |
10 | ** Cormac's RefugeInAudacity, claiming that his job is tree surgeon. |
11 | ** Jeff's email to one of his admirers claims he's suffering from back problems. The voiceover for this plays over him not only doing yoga, but sticking his leg behind his head! |
12 | ** After Vadik has escaped, giving Jeff a good punch in the face, we cut to him and Cormac on the couch and the former has a bag of frozen peas nursing his head. |
13 | --> "I think your safe house has just been invalidated." |
14 | ** Cormac can't resist throwing some snark even when he's being held up at gunpoint. Both his "you mad whore" and "you kinky fucker" were ad-libs by Aidan O'Sullivan. |
15 | * GeniusBonus: The villain is called Hidell, and Kian suggests it might not be his real name. 'Hidell' was one alias used by Lee Harvey Oswald, who famously assassinated President John F Kennedy. |
16 | * HilariousInHindsight: Jeff previously tried to publish a book and got repeated rejections. Bobby Calloway later announced that he was working on a novel titled ''Young Blood'', which he actually started writing while filming ''Spears''. |
17 | * OneSceneWonder: |
18 | ** Kaireht Yovera appears halfway through the film to play a HighClassCallGirl. Her screen presence was so striking that she was featured prominently in a tie-in music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01t07lILM7o "Counterfeit"]] by Le Groupe Fantastique. |
