* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Sometimes averted and sometimes played straight. The police are actually willing to search Turner's garage at Kale's frantic behest. Kale's mother plays this straight until the last ten minutes of the movie. However, Kale's mom has some reasoning as she is more worried that Kale is going nuts and going to do something that will result in him being taken away from her by the police. That, and his evidence isn't the strongest. |

* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Happens to both Kale and his mother. In a rare case in suspense films, this actually doesn't prevent them from retaliating—Kale's mother is ironically [[Adults Are Useless|at her most useful by far]] while duct taped up in Turner's basement. |
