• Awesome Music: Several, but Rahad Jackson getting high to "Sister Christian" and "Jesse's Girl" is by far the best.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Reed Rothchild, who's basically Dr. Steve Brule if he worked in the porn industry.
• Everybody Remembers the Stripper: Even amongst the copious nudity in the movie, Heather Graham's nude scene and Mark Walhberg's fake wang stand out. Both induced a lot of sucking noises in theatres.
• Hey, It's That Song!: Dirk Diggler, getting his singing career going, sings "The Touch". Yes, THAT "The Touch".
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Thomas Jane running around with a gun, blasting everything in sight. Sound familiar?
  • And then getting blown away by Doc Ock.
• Painful Rhyme: Reed's poetry. Also counts as Stylistic Suck.

"I love you, you love me. Going down the sugar tree. We'll go down the sugar tree, and see lots of bees: playing, playing. But the bees won't sting, because you love me."

• Parental Incest: Implied. Eddie's mom seems a little too jealous of his relationship with Sheryl Lynn.
• The Woobie: All the main characters spend a little time being the Woobie, but Little Bill is probably the prime example. It helps that he's played by William H. Macy.
  • Eventually, Little Bill becomes Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.
  • Is it strange that I found that dude who got beaten up and killed by Rollergirl to be a Woobie, because he didn't deserve to be killed.
    • He wasn't killed, just badly beaten up.
• Values Dissonance: This being the 1970s Los Angeles porn scene, attitudes towards sex and gender are in several ways quite different to the modern standard.
