Line 20:
* [[Carnival of Killers]] - Mr. Arkadian's response to Leeroy's repeated [[Curb Stomp Battle|beatdowns]] of his thugs.
* [[Delivery Guy Infiltration]]: Leroy succeeds only because the guards are all drunk and stoned. It's not that they're too blitzed to recognize him either, it's because they had the munchies and he was carrying a pizza.
* [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting]] most notable in the Theater.
* [[Foreign Culture Fetish]] Leeroy is decidedly an Asian-phile; wearing stereotypical "rice paddy" garb, speaks Chinese and eating everything (including movie popcorn!) with chopsticks. He's taken it so far that he no longer fits in with his own culture at all, but would probably be perfectly at home in China.
** Leroy isn't the only one. Consider the Chinese guys who run the fortune cookie factory. They dress and act sterotypically black and speak jive turkey slang. Leroy runs into them part way through the movie. When they meet it could also be considered a [[Stereotype Flip]].
Line 32:
** Sho'nuff went on to play Lord Bowler alongside Bruce Campbell in Brisco County Jr.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: Sho'nuff allegedly all but controls Harlem. However his gang consists of about five people, and even though he has a reputation, no one seems particularly intimidated by him until he starts beating people up.
** When Eddie recruits Sho'nuff at his dojo, a lot more of his pupils/lackeys can be seen.
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Angela isn't as bad a singer as she's supposed to be, especially considering this is the 80's.
** Considering her actress has had a mildly successful career on Broadway it's probably [[Stylistic Suck]].
Line 39:
* [[Loved Ones Montage]]
* [[Magic Feather]] - Leeroy's mentor gives him what proves to be a beltbuckle, telling him it was a secret talisman used to unlock "The Glow".
* [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] -- "Sho'Nuff!!"
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: "Catches bullets, WITH HIS TEETH?! N*gga Please..."
* [[Non-Actor Vehicle]] - Vanity remains better known as a singer than an actress
Line 51:
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] - Mr. Arkadian's gang of fighters is... colorful.
** Special mention goes to Sho'Nuf's gang of thugs dressed in camouflage, sporting pads, and silk robes.
*** Albino. Biker. Santa.
**** With a MOHAWK.
* [[Scary Black Man]] -- "Sho'Nuff!!"
