1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Which Carpenter [[DoItYourselfThemeTune composed himself]], as per usual with his movies. It got SampledUp by Afrika Bambaataa and Bomb the Bass. |
2 | * CompleteMonster: The [[WhiteGangbangers White Street Thunder warlord]] is the most savage of the [[EqualOpportunityEvil gang]]'s quartet of leaders terrorizing Los Angeles. Emotionlessly swearing the [[BloodOath Cholo]] for all-out war in retaliation to a police attack; he spends the chaos driving around looking for civilians to shoot, settling on an ice cream man and [[WouldHurtAChild a little girl]]. |
3 | * CultClassic: Was originally panned in America and saw little release, but was praised in Europe and was re-released there to great acclaim and a cult following. |
4 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The film was a bigger hit in Britain than it was in America. |
5 | * MagnificentBastard: Napoleon Wilson is a snarky, yet honorable, convict on death row for murder. Forced to work with some officers to defend their station from a siege of gangsters, Wilson happily obliges, putting his skills to good work as he helps take down every gangster he sees. Abiding by a code that sees him refusing to abandon the cops to their fate, Wilson's able to warn everybody about the gangsters' deceptive tactics, while charming the officers into forming a genuine friendship with him as they all survive the night. |
6 | * MemeticMutation: |
7 | ** "I wanted vanilla twist!" *'''SHOT'''* |
8 | *** [[WebVideo/JonTron "Well, you're gettin' strawberry."]] |
9 | ** Given Kim Richards [[Main/TheOtherMarty replaced]] [[Series/MyThreeSons Dawn]] [[Main/CousinOliver Lyn]] after the Main/{{Pilot}} in the role of the young daughter on ''Series/NannyAndTheProfessor'', there have been jokes online about Dawn, rather than Kim, playing the little lady who is shot dead in the "vanilla twist" scene. |
10 | ** The shoot-out in the middle of the film, particularly a loop of Wilson firing a shotgun, became a reaction macro. |
11 | * MoralEventHorizon: The Street Thunder members cross it when one of them ''[[WouldHurtAChild shoots and kills a little girl point blank]] just because she was there''. |
