Snooker films are few and far between. Snooker musicals, even more so. But a snooker musical vampire flick? With a main character that stylises himself after Billy the Kid? '''''Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire''''' is the definition of one-of-a-kind, and an immediate [[Cult Classic]].

* [[Crowd Song]]: ''Quack Quack''.
* [[Down to the Last Play]]: With eight frames a piece, the final game comes down to the final ball.
* [[Genre Busting]]: It's a comedic sports-drama-musical-horror.
* [[Miracle Rally]]: The Kid is down eight frames in the seventeen frame game before he manages to turn it around.
* [[No Budget]]: It's clear that whatever budget the film had was used in securing the (excellent) musical and acting talent, as most of the film is shot in back-alleys or barely decorated rooms. One scene which is presented as an arcade has all the machines turned away from the camera, so all that's shown is plain black cabinets. 
* [[Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness]]: The titular vampire isn't quite evil, just a massive jerk.
* [[Throwing the Fight]]: The Kid's manager is initially ordered to make this happen, but he refuses.
* [[Training Montage]]: Complete with the song ''Practice Practice Practice''.
* [[Underdogs Never Lose]]: The Kid manages to win, against all odds.
* [[Vampire Musicals]]
* [[Villain Song]]: ''I Bite Back''.
