Line 61:
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Frank seems like this at first, but he takes far too much pleasure in his "crime fighting" and violence.
* [[Doing It for The Art]] - It is a very low-budget independent film, so everyone involved was paid scale.
* {{spoiler|[[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]]}} - Averted, sort of. {{spoiler|Libby raping Frank is portrayed as disturbing and uncomfortable, with Frank trying his very hardest to get her off of him. Afterwards, he immediately throws up. Even Libby looks disturbed at what she's done. However, the movie doesn't really deal with it, as Frank gets suddenly inspired to go rescue Sarah.}}
** Played straight insofar as, with the genders reversed, {{spoiler|it would certainly have destroyed any trace of sympathy anyone had for the rapist and raised a lot of eyebrows when the one who was just raped gets over it almost immediately and heads off to the final showdown with rapist in tow. It is at the very least [[Played for Laughs]] a whole lot more than Sarah's rape at the hands of a male client of Jacque's.}}
* [[The Dragon]] - Abe, Jacques' lead henchman.
Line 83:
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Jacques tries one on Frank after the [[Groin Attack]]. Frank just tells him to [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] and {{spoiler|stabs him to death}}
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]] - The Crimson Bolt and (even more so, due to a complete lack of remorse) Boltie.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]- [[The Office|Dwight Schrute]], inspired by [[Firefly|Malcolm Reynolds]]'s evangelical Christian TV show, teams up with [[Juno]] to save his wife [[Lord of the Rings|Arwen]] from the clutches of evil drug dealer [[Footloose|Ren McCormick]] and his minion [[Mallrats|Mr. Svenning]].
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: {{spoiler|Frank ends up as this to Sarah's kids.}}
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]- After telling Frank not to make a joke about her name ("Libby's on your label") after she introduces herself, Libby makes fun of him when he tells her his name.
Line 120:
* [[Sacrificial Lion]]: {{spoiler|Boltie}}.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Jacques's drug dealer client.
* [[Shout
* [[Spoiler Title]]: One of the songs on the soundtrack is titled {{spoiler|"Libby goes down".}} What makes this frustrating is that this song plays for a good chunk of the climax and could have easily been called something less spoilery.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The Holy Avenger TV show and [[Comic Book]], based on the character of [[Bibleman]] and the work of bizarre [[Golden Age]] comic artist [[Fletcher Hanks]], respectively.
