Line 43:
** Also literally invoked by an interracial couple at a Halloween costume party.
** See also Professor Phipps's [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|repeated line]]: "Peppermint?"
[[[* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: {{spoiler|Malik flees the campus at the end.}}
* [[Screaming Warrior]]: Omar Epps, dramatically. Busta Rhymes, hilariously.
* [[Something Completely Different]]: In this film, we are presented with something not seen in a mainstream American film since ''[[The Birth of a Nation]]'' 80 years earlier: white-supremacist characters who are actually relatable and semi-sympathetic (though without the blatant hero-worship of D. W. Griffith's film, of course). We get a definite sense of what prompted {{spoiler|Remy's}} [[Face Heel Turn]] and why he would think himself [[Knight Templar|justified in his attitudes and actions]]. (It could even be argued that this film helped to set the stage for ''[[American History X]]'' three years later, in which the skinhead is actually ''redeemed''.)
