History Film / TheDevilsRejects

A sequel, 3 From Hell, is currently in production.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: The Fireflys finally get their commuppance at the end of the movie, where they are gunned down by the police. And it was well deserved because of all the horrific things they have done]].

%%* AxCrazy:
%%** The Firefly family themselves.
%%** Also [[spoiler:Sheriff Wydell]] by the end.

%%* BlackComedy: The movie is hilarious when treated as this.

%%* BolivianArmyEnding: The surviving trio goes out like this.

* 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 death as an act of showing him "how heroes die").

* ActionPrologue: The opening house shootout.
* AxCrazy:
** The Firefly family themselves.
** Also [[spoiler: [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Sheriff Wydell]]]] by the end.
* BadassBoast: See page quote.

* BlackComedy: The movie is hilarious when treated as this.
* BloodierAndGorier: This film is much more bloody and gruesome than Film/HouseOf1000Corpses.
* BolivianArmyEnding: The surviving trio goes out like this.

* ActionizedSequel: To describe it at best, it's a road movie that also features intense action and touches of horror

* AscendedExtra[=/=]BreakoutCharacter: Sort of; in the original film Captain Spaulding's connection to the Firefly family was tenuous at best and after the opening half was absent from the rest of the film. In the sequel it's revealed that he's the family patriarch and has a considerably more prominent role in the film.

* BerserkButton: If you ever, ''ever'' say a derogatory word about Elvis Aaron Presley in Sheriff Wydell's presence, he will kick the living shit out of you!

* BigDamnHeroes: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. "You wanna see badass, motherfucker? I'll show you badass!"

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

* BrickJoke: One of the prostitutes suggests using a Star Wars theme for attracting more customers. Later on she is seen wearing Princess Leia hair.

* HeroAntagonist: Wydell to some.

* AxCrazy: The Firefly family themselves.

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

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Sheriff Wydell

* HeroAntagonist: Wydell to some.

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

* Hero Antagonist: Wydell to some.

* [[HeroAntagonist Anti-Hero Antagonist]]: Wydell to some.

* DarkerAndEdgier: By comparing this to the previous movie you'd swear that you're watching two different movies.

* ClusterFBomb: Its a Music/RobZombie movie, what did you expect?

* AwesomeMcCoolname: A ton of them: Otis B. Driftwood, Captain Spaulding, Billy Ray Snapper, John Quincey Wydell. '''Wolf J. Flywheel''' deserves a fucking award.

* ActionizedSequel: to describe it at best, it's a road movie that also features intense action and touches of horror

* ActionPrologue: The Opening House Shootout

** If you don't give Captain Spaulding a reason why you hate clowns, he'll kill your whole fuckin' family..

* 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").

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Captain Spaulding trying to protect Baby during interrogation.]]

-->'''Adam Banjo''': Fuck...you...

** Arguably becomes IronicEcho toward the end when Wydell has Baby at his mercy.

** In any horror movie the Firefly Family would have survived long enough whenever the sequels demand it. This movie doesn't play that KarmaHoudini card.

* ThemedAliases: The Firefly Family all use names of characters from Marx Brothers films. It gets them caught in this film.

''The Devil's Rejects'' (2005) is a {{horror}} {{film}} directed by Music/RobZombie. It is the sequel to ''Film/HouseOf1000Corpses'', picking up two years later as the remaining members of the psychotic Firefly family are on the run from a posse of of State Troopers who want them to answer for over 75 murders and disappearances over the past several years.

* EvilVersusEvil: The Firefly family vs. Sheriff Wydell. Ultimately very few named characters and no major characters in the film wind up being entirely sympathetic. A film where the protagonists are vicious serial killers and their opposition is a religiously fanatical RabidCop [[spoiler: seeking vengeance]] is ultimately how the story winds up. A telling example of the fact that this film [[SlidingScaleofIdealismVsCynicism leans very heavily to the cynical end of the spectrum]] is that all the named characters that are not in some way involved with either the [[AxCrazy Firefly family]] in some manner or the police wind up being innocents get caught up in the situation and wind up dying horribly.

* ActionPrologue: The Opening Shootout

* Action Prologue: The Opening Shootout

* Actionized Sequel: to describe it at best, it's a road movie that also features intense action and touches of horror

** Also [[spoiler: [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Sherriff Wydell]]]] by the end of the movie.

* ClusterFBomb: it's a Rob zombie movie, what did you expect?
* ColdBloodedTorture: The Firefly family is notable for engaging in this quite a lot. The sheriff turns it back on them towards the end.
* CutSong: kinda sort of, there is a self titled theme song but it wasn't used in the film
