* VillainSong: The final credits feature the song "We Do T'ings My Way", performed by Mafia boss Nick Duran.

''Street Trash'' is a 1987 horror/splatter movie written by Roy Frumkes and directed by James Muro. Neither are well known for anything else, although Muro's steadicam work in this movie was so impressive that he later found regular work as a Hollywood camera operator. You may have heard of one of the films Muro worked on - ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''.

* ExploitationFilm: Let's see ... exploitative use of controversial themes (homelessness in this case)? Check. Over-the-top gore and violence for its own sake? Check. Explicit nudity and sex for its own sake? Check.

* BlackComedyRape: Frank Schnizer, the owner of the junkyard, makes an attempt with Wendy, his young assistant. The tone of the scene, along with the background music, makes it clear this effort is meant to be {{played for laughs}}. This goes into CrossesTheLineTwice territory when that same music plays while Frank sees a woman's corpse...

* BodyHorror: Every time someone drinks the Viper.

* LosingYourHead: After Bronson is decapitated, his brain lives long enough to take a look under Wendy's skirt and die smiling.

* DeadBabyComedy: This is probably the best category available for this movie and virtually every scene in it.

* [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous What Do You Mean, It's Not Heinous?]]: When Wizzie, Bronson's smarmy sycophant, is captured by the police, they threaten to give him a shower. He is horrified.

* MotorMouth: The doorman at Nick Duran's restaurant, while sitting in a police station next to Duran himself, won't stop slinging insults. He evidently thinks the police will protect him as a witness. Even when he's told they can't, he ''still'' keeps mouthing off. The fact that the role is played by James Lorinz from ''{{Frankenhooker}}'' has a lot to do with his apparent [[TooDumbToLive death wish]].

** RapeAsDrama: Another scene in which a crowd of derelicts brutally gang rape a poor drunken woman to death has a much, much darker tone.

* FashionVictimVillain: Duran's hitman wears a plaid jacket and pink pants.

* CampingACrapper: Hitman hired by Duran tries to do this to Fred.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Mentioned by a concerned bystander when Bill the cop won't help a partially melted businessman. Bill, already handling the incident guy who got his head put through his own windshield by Bronson, says, "Lady, I can only save one person at a time!" "Why? Because he's male?" asks the woman.

* [=~I'm Melting~=]: Anyone who drinks the Tenafly Viper meets their end this way.

* RapeAsComedy: Frank Schnizer, the owner of the junkyard, makes an attempt with Wendy, his young assistant. The tone of the scene, along with the background music, makes it clear this effort is meant to be {{played for laughs}}.
