Line 10:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: [[Played for Drama]] in some scenes by characters. Selena had one when she was ridiculed at school. She had more of it, especially with her dad's [[Berserk Button]] with Chris before having it again once again (on her final days of life). [[Loony Fan|Yolanda Saldivar]] had one at the end.
* [[Downer Ending]]: The movie ends with Selena's death and a candlelight vigil being held in her honor.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Yolanda gets one of these mentions that she was involved in murder. [[Tear Jerker|She cries and says to another caller that she wanted to talk to her mother, but not before saying to "look what I've done to my best friend!"]]
* [[Fake Nationality]]: The movie got into a little hot water when they cast Lopez to play Selena. Some people felt that they should honor Selena's Mexican heritage by hiring a Mexican actress, instead of Lopez, who's Puerto Rican.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: While marriage is not a crime, it happens when Selena married Chris had a headline.
* [[Large Ham]]: Abraham and Suzzette.
* [[Loony Fan]]: Yolanda Saldivar, hands down.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Abraham when he is angry at Selena. To a lesser instinct, Selena herself. Yolanda when she cries.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Before she was the diva J-Lo, she made her mark with this movie as Jennifer Lopez, talented actress.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy Selena who enjoyed playing outdoors, vs. girly girl Suzette who did not want to be a drummer because "girls don't play drums".
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Yolanda after shooting Selena. [[Sacrificial Lion|As for Selena, she was too nice despite turning against Yolanda Saldivar]].
