History Film / TheDevilsRejects

* Actionized Sequel: this is more of an action film that has touches of horror, nice combo if you ask me

* Bloodier And Gorier: it's WAY more bloody and WAY more gruesome than house of 1,000 corpses

* Cut Song: kinda sort of, there is a self titled theme song but it wasn't used in the film

* DefiantToTheEnd:
** DeconstructedTrope when Otis kills Adam: as the former points out, using your last breath to insult your killer with a PrecisionFStrike doesn't suddenly makes the killer want to run for the hills or really makes your death any less undignified (he ''even escalates'' the brutality of Adam's kill as an act of showing him "how heroes die").

* ClusterFBomb

* BigDamnHeroes: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. "You want [[{{Badass}} badass]]? I'll show you [[{{Badass}} badass]]!"

* {{Badass}}: Averted with the Firefly family. While they are murderous psychos who try to come off as tough it is only against people who cannot really fight back. Otis is nearly overpowered and killed by Adam and Roy, two slubs he has bullied only when behind a gun. The entire family is captured with little fuss or fight by Sheriff Wydell and the Unholy Two.

* AllInTheManual: The official website had character bios that explained the backstories of Otis, Spaulding and Baby.

* {{I Love the Dead}}: It is strongly implied that Otis is a necrophiliac.

* BlondesAreEvil: Baby, Otis and Mother Firefly.

* ShoutOut: [[Theatre/AnimalCrackers Captain Spaulding]], [[Film/ANightAtTheOpera Otis B. Driftwood]], and [[Film/DuckSoup Rufus T. Firefly]] are all named after characters played by Groucho in various Creator/MarxBrothers movies.

* ShoutOut: Captain Spaulding, Otis B. Driftwood, and Rufus T. Firefly are all named after characters played by Groucho in various Creator/MarxBrothers movies.

** Insulting clowns in front of Captain Spaulding isn't a particularly smart idea either, especially when you consider the opening scene of the first movie.

* BashBrothers: The Unholy Two are so badass that they take on the Firefly clan and win!

* ItRunsInTheFamily: The Fireflys

* LargeHam: A lot of characters, but especially the Fireflys.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After spending most of the movie (and untold years before that) torturing, raping and killing, the three remaining Fireflys are captured, tortured and beaten by Sheriff Wydell. [[spoiler: After escaping thanks to Tiny, they don't get very far because of a roadblock of pissed off cops with guns. They go out fighting, but still go out.]]

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Wydell's torture of the Fireflys. Although he embraces HeWhoFightsMonsters, the people he was horrifically abusing and butchering had seventy-five bodies (minimum) worth of victims, ranging from torture and rape to horrific mutilation. The fact that they actively brag about their kills in detail doesn't help their situation.

* {{Villain Protagonist}}s: The Fireflys, Otis, and Captain Spaulding.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The ending scene is set to "Freebird" [[spoiler:as Baby, Otis, and Spaulding ride to their deaths at a police barricade.]]

* AlasPoorVillain: '''Cause I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you can not change.''

* TheVoiceless: Tiny.

-->'''Spaulding's lover'': What's the matter? Bad dream?
-->'''Spaulding''' Eh, 50/50...

->''"I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work."''

* BlondesAreEvil: Baby, Otis and Mama Firefly.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Baby is reduced to a shaking, tearful mess when Wydell taunts her about how he killed Mama Firefly. She is also visibly terrified later on when he is chasing her.

** Insulting clowns in front of Captain Spaulding isn't a particularly smart idea either... (Especially when you consider the beginning scene of the FIRST movie)

* BlondesAreEvil: Baby and Otis

* BlondesAreEvil: Baby.

* BrickJoke: One of the prostitutes suggests using a star wars -theme for attracting more customers. Later on she is seen wearing Princess Leia -hair
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Tiny appears at the near end of the film to kill Sheriff Wydell.]]

* DaylightHorror: Much of the film takes place in the day. The scene where Otis kills Adam and Roy was originally to take place at night but upon discovering an abandoned chicken farm Rob Zombie decided that it would be a waste to not show it.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It's clear by the end how much the Firefly Family loves one another.

-->'''Otis:''' There's no fucking ice cream in your fucking future! *cuts to Spaulding and Baby eating ice cream*
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Sheriff Wydell.

* {{I Love the Dead}}: It's hinted Otis is a necrophiliac.

* ItRunsInTheFamily: The Fireflys.

-->'''Spaulding's Girlfriend'': What's the matter? Bad dream?

* KnightTemplar: Sheriff Wydell.

-->'''Otis B. Driftwood''': That's what they all say. (mocking) "Fuck you!" Well it ain't gonna save you. It don't scare me none and it don't suddenly make you a fucking hero.
