Tropes for the film:
- Tagline: "Two boys found a way to make one summer last a lifetime".
- Tragic AIDS Story: The movie is about Dexter and Erik trying to find the cure to AIDS, since one of them, Dexter, contracted HIV from a blood transfusion. He dies from complications by the film's end.
- You Don't Want to Catch This: This example is the rare case where the person pulling off the trick actually is: Dexter, who is HIV positive from a blood transfusion, chases off an attacker by cutting himself and chasing the bad guy away while screaming "My blood is poison!".
