History Film / Stag

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Pete arrives at this conclusion as the night drags on, and decides that if Serena and Dan will not go along with the plan to cover up Kelly's death, then Dan and Serena will have to die as well. HE tries to convince the other guests, and a disturbing number of them seem willing to go along.

* AccidentalPublicConfession: Dan--while BoundAndGagged on the couch with Serena--accidentally knocks Jon's video camera off the coffee table. It hits the floor and starts recording: capturing the words of everyone in the room as the debate the merits of murdering Serena and framing her for the other deaths. In the epilogue, Dan mentions that the tape became the main piece of evidence in the subsequent trial.

* DeathByFallingOver: The drunken revelers are tossing Kelly in the air in a blanket. One of them slips and lets go of the blanket, causing the others to drop. Kelly lands awkwardly on the tile floor, breaking her neck.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Serena delivers one to the surviving men after she refuses their latest offer of her going into hiding while they hold her son hostage. She lambastes them ; asking what gives them the right to declare her life worthless, when they are the ones who killed her sister, and are proposing killing her just to spare them from jail time.

* YouCanLeaveYourHat: Sisters Kelly and Serena perform a raunchy striptease for Victor at his stag party, to the whooping and cheers of all the men present.

* GunStruggle: When Stoker finds Kellly's body, he panics and starts shooting; wounding a couple of the guests. Taylor and Pete tackle him and attempt to wrest the gun off him. In the struggle, Stoker is shot and killed.

* SuicideBySea: Timan--seeing no way of the spiraling CrimeAfterCrime situation he is trapped in--drowns himself in Victor's swimming pool.

Victor Malick has it all--money, looks, charm, and he is about to marry the woman of his dreams. But, most of all, he has total control--until the night of stag party. As his buddies from the old days mingle awkwardly with his new professional friends and associates, a coupe of strippers arrive to spice up the evening. But in the middle of the SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll, tragedy strikes, as one of the strippers is killed when an innocent party game turns into a nightmare. Facing the possibility of a jail sentence for their part in her death, the ten men must decide what story to tell the world and most importantly, what to do with the only innocent witness--the other stripper.

* ExtremeDoormat: Jon, who immediately agrees enthusiastically with whatever plan anyone suggests for dealing with [[CrimeAfterCrime rapidly spiraling situation]]. Even if that plan involves dumping bodies, framing innocent people, or murder.

* FakeStatic: Randall breathes on the mic to simulate static when Bud tells him to take off. The connection is already spotty, but it's a ''video'' call, so he's not fooling anybody.
* In ''Film/{{Stag}}'', Pete uses Stoker's phone to call the agency to tell them that the strippers are leaving Victor's place and that they won't be able to make the next job. He does this so that--if anyone does report them missing--it will be assumed that it happened after they left Victor's. He pretends that the connection is bad to keep the call short and cover that he doesn't sound much like Stoker, and quickly hangs up.

* SuicideBySea: Timan--seeing know way of the spiraling CrimeAfterCrime situation he is trapped in--drowns himself in Victor's swimming pool.

* AccidentalMurder: The deaths of neither Kelly nor Stoker were planned. Kelly suffers DeathByFalling over after the men tossing her in the air drop her on the tile floor and she breaks her neck. Stoker gets shot in a GrinStruggle as Taylor and Pete attempt to wrestle his gun off him.

* DeathByFallingOver: The drunken revelers are tossing Kelly in the air in a blanket. One of them slips and lets go of the blanket, causing the others to drop. Kelly lands awkward on the tile floor, breaking her neck.

* BringTheAnchorAlong: Serena is duct taped to chair. She manages to tip the the chair over and drag herself across the floor using her elbows.

* IntoxicationEnsues: The straightedge Michael consumes several of the brownies Jon bakes, not realising that they contain hash.
