'''''The Buttercream Gang''''' is a 1992 direct-to-video movie, distributed by an independent producer known as [[Feature Films For Families]].
 
The titular gang started in the 1800s, when young men would help local Civil War widows do household tasks (such as churning butter - hence the name) and has continued into the present day. At the time of the movie, the club consists of of Scott, Lenny, Eldon, and Pete who carry on the gang's tradition of helping those in need.

=== These films contain examples of: ===
* [[The Ace]]: Scott in the second film.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Eldon in the second film.
Line 28:
* [[The Determinator]]: Scott.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: The Buttercreamettes. A bit of a subversion as the older female members refer to themselves as members of the original gang, as opposed to this newer, girls-only gang
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Margaret at one point.
* {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]:}} The first movie.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Pete is absolutely confounded by {{spoiler|Scott's non-aggressive attitude whenever he's threatened by physical violence}}, he's even more confused when {{spoiler|the store owner outright offers him money when he tries to rob the store, just so he couldn't say he robbed him, which causes him to resort to outright trashing the store, demanding someone retaliate against him. When no one does, he runs away.}} He can't understand why someone would [[Turn the Other Cheek]] instead of defending themselves or seeking revenge.
Line 46:
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Eldon in the second movie.
* [[Meganekko]]: Pre-makeover Margaret.
* [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil]]
* [[Reverse Cerebus Syndrome]]: Whether you think it worked, the first movie ''tried'' to be a serious drama. The second movie, however, switched genres entirely and became an adventure-comedy.
* {{spoiler|[[Save the Villain]]}}
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Lenny in the second movie while trying to cheer Eldon up.
