- Crosses the Line Twice: What's worse than a Minotaur's erect penis? A Minotaur's severed penis being worn as a necklace. And what's worse than that? The Damsel in Distress trying to stick it in her mouth when the hero arrives to save her, because she's been hypnotized in order to rape her.
- Designated Hero: Thadeous. Other than finding the sword and immediately murdering an apparently still horny but otherwise pacified Minotaur with it, he does nothing of importance and screws up things a few times. Even his assistant is more skilled than him. Of course, this is part of the joke. He's a big, fat fuck up who does absolutely nothing of note but we root for him anyways because Fabious comes off as a little annoying.
- Questionable Casting: James Franco, Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel have this trope covered over several demographics. The trailer for the movie even lampshaded this for the former two by mention being an Academy Award nominee and winner respectively.
- Spiritual Adaptation: This film is the closest we will likely see to Oglaf getting a live-action adaptation.
- Took the Bad Film Seriously:
- This may have been a paycheck gig for Natalie Portman, but her Blood Knight scenes are incredibly funny because she plays the whole thing absolutely straight.
- Charles Dance delivers his lines with all the gravitas and dignity of Tywin Lannister.
