The Devil's Rejects

""I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work.""

- Otis B. Driftwood

The Devil's Rejects (2005) is a Horror Film directed by Rob Zombie. It is the sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, picking up two years later as the remaining members of the psychotic Firefly family are on the run from a posse of of State Troopers who want them to answer for over 75 murders and disappearances over the past several years.

Of course, we all know this isn't going to be easy, and when Baby and Otis escape from the resultant firefight, they'll be out for one thing: Mayhem. Gory, stomach-wrenching mayhem.

Good times.

This movie contains examples of:
""I happen to be a self-proclaimed Marx Brothers expert, if I say so myself.""
 * Badass Boast: See page quote.
 * Bash Brothers: The Unholy Two are so badass that they take on the Firefly clan and win!
 * Bavarian Fire Drill: "I need to borrow your car. Official clown business."
 * Berserk Button: If you ever, ever say a derogatory word about Elvis Aaron Presley in Sheriff Wydell's presence, he will kick the living shit out of you!
 * Big Damn Heroes: Averted. "You want badass? I'll show you badass!"
 * Black and Grey Morality: Arguably progresses to Evil Versus Evil during the course of the movie. Ultimately very few named characters and no major characters in the film wind up being entirely sympathetic. A film where the protagonists are vicious serial killers and their opposition is a religiously fanatical Cowboy Cop  is ultimately how the story winds up. A telling example of the fact that this film leans very heavily to the cynical end of the spectrum is that all the named characters that are not in some way involved with either the Firefly family in some manner or the police wind up being innocents get caught up in the situation and wind up dying horribly.
 * Black Comedy: The movie is hilarious when treated as this.
 * Blondes Are Evil: Baby.
 * Bolivian Army Ending: The surviving trio goes out like this.
 * Chekhov's Gunman:
 * Cluster F-Bomb
 * Cold-Blooded Torture: The Firefly family is notable for engaging in this quite a lot. The sheriff turns it back on them towards the end.
 * Daylight Horror
 * Defictionalization: A supposed Banjo & Sullivan Greatest Hits Album was released as an official tie-in with the movie. In reality it's an Affectionate Parody of 70's country by Jesse Dayton.
 * Department of Redundancy Department: This line from Marty Walker, the film scholar:

"Otis: There's no fucking ice cream in your fucking future! *cuts to Spaulding and Baby eating ice cream*"
 * The Family That Slays Together
 * Flaying Alive: Let's just say Otis has quite a hobby.
 * Gorn
 * Gilligan Cut:

"Adam Banjo: Fuck...you...
 * I Am the Trope: See page quote.
 * I Hit You, You Hit the Ground: "I hit you, your dick hits the dirt!"
 * It Runs in The Family: The Fireflys.
 * Knight Templar: Sheriff Wydell.
 * Large Ham: A lot of characters, but especially the Fireflys.
 * Laser-Guided Karma: After spending most of the movie (and untold years before that) torturing, raping and killing, the three Firefly's are captured, tortured and beaten by Sheriff Wydell.
 * One-Scene Wonder: Robert Trebor as Marty Walker, the aformentioned film scholar.
 * Pet the Dog:
 * Politically-Incorrect Villain: Otis uses some homophobic slurs.
 * Precision F-Strike: For a movie that holds the record for F-bombs, it has an F-strike made all the sweeter by the fact it actually lampshades the F-strike itself!

Otis B. Driftwood: That's what they all say. (mocking) "Fuck you!" Well it ain't gonna save you. It don't scare me none and it don't suddenly make you a fucking hero."


 * Arguably becomes Ironic Echo toward the end when Wydell has Baby at his mercy.
 * The Savage South: Where else can you find  Captain Spaulding's Fried Chicken?
 * Soundtrack Dissonance: The ending scene is set to "Freebird"
 * Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Several Firefly members are killed, captured, or disappear after the opening shootout with police.
 * Suicide by Cop:
 * This Is for Emphasis, Bitch: "Did I stutter, bitch?"
 * Villain Protagonists: The Fireflys, Otis, and Captain Spaulding.
 * Villains Out Shopping: Enjoying some "Tutti-fucking-Frutti!"
 * The Voiceless: Tiny.
