Line 43:
* [[Fan Disservice]]: A good amount. There's the rape scenes, the scenes where Mima is getting photographed naked, {{spoiler|Rumi in the CHAM get-up}}, etc.
* [[Foot Focus]]: The film is littered throughout with numerous closeups of Mima's bare feet, particularly during chase scenes.
* [[Freak -Out]]: Mima, coming home at the end of a particular traumatic day after filming a rape scene, finds her beloved pet fish dead, and loses control for a moment, trashing her apartment. She ({{spoiler|as well as Rumi}}) has numerous moments where she freaks out throughout the rest of the movie.
* [[A Glass in The Hand]]: Mima does this with a teacup at one point.
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: {{spoiler|Rumi in the ending, is seen permanently delusional and institutionalized at a mental hospital.}}
Line 49:
* [[Groin Attack]]: One of the murder victims is repeatedly stabbed in the crotch with a screwdriver.
* [[Harassing Phone Call]]: After Mima converts to acting from her pop-idol career, she receives at least one threatening message and phone call each from her stalker Me-Mania.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!|Hey, It's That Voice]]: In the original Japanese-language version, [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Hikari Horaki]] is [[Junko Iwao|Mima]] and [[Pokémon|Satoshi/Ash Ketchum]] is [[Rica Matsumoto|Rumi]]. Oh, and [[Naruto|Might Guy]] is the [[Masashi Ebara|pornographer]] that takes naked pictures of Mima.
** The dubbed version is made even weirder by the fact that Me-Mania is voiced by the same actor who played Jinnai in ''[[El Hazard]]''.
** Speaking of ''[[El Hazard]]'', Mima has the same [[Bridget Hoffman|voice actress]] as Rune Venus.
Line 82:
* [[Psycho Supporter]]: Me-Mania.
* [[Save the Villain]]: {{spoiler|Mima to Rumi at the end}}
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** In Mima's first acting role, two characters in the scene discuss a serial killer who removes his victims' skin because he wants to be a woman. That plot sounds [[The Silence of the Lambs|a little familiar]].
** Tadakoro also mentions "[[Jodie Foster|Jodie whatshername]]" in a later conversation about Mima's career. He was specifically referring to ''[[The Accused (Film)|The Accused]]'', in which Foster plays a rape victim.
