  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: All of the songs could qualify as this, but special mention goes to Chef Guy's impromptu musical number about carryout.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Action Fighter is likely the film's most beloved character. Along with being played by Jemaine Clement, he receives a substantial chunk of the most quotable lines.
  • Fountain of Memes: Action Fighter, though other characters such as Asian Sidekick also have large swathes of memorable dialogue.
  • Narm Charm: An entire movie filled with very deliberate amounts of this.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Features Jemaine Clement and choreography by Brett Mackenzie a good few years before Flight of the Conchords really started to gain notoriety. Taika Waititi appears in some bit parts as well, most visible during Chef Guy's musical number.
  • Signature Scene: Sione's final battle with Action Fighter.
