!Tropes for film:
* AlliterativeName: Paula and Priscilla Powers.
* FruitCart: There is a chase scene where a crazy hillbilly family attempts to stop Sam and Paula's car with thrown sticks of dynamite. Then one of them inexplicably yells "''frickin' fruit stand!''" and proceeds to detonate one that is just lying the by side of the road.
* ThePreciousPreciousCar: The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud owned by Paula Powers' parents. True to the film's tagline, it, like many others throughout the story, were utterly destroyed.
* {{Tagline}}: "See the greatest cars in the world destroyed!".
