!!This film provides examples of the following tropes:

* TheBigGuy: Stork, naturally, seeing as he's played by the two-metre tall Bruce Spence.
* ImagineSpot: While searching for a job advert in the local newspaper alongside Anna, Stork imagines himself storming the High Court of Australia while leading a workers' uprising and then being stranded in Antarctica with no "moles" (women).
* RuleAbidingRebel: A central theme of the film is how those who think they are unconventional are really anything but. Stork and his roommates may dream of revolution, but when given the opportunity to put their ideals into practice, they start bickering and ultimately fall back on the very societal conventions they despise, most notably when Anna announces her pregnancy. Of the four leads, [[WomenAreWiser Anna is the only true rebel]].
