History YMMV / TheDevilsRejects

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire soundtrack, but especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np0solnL1XY&feature=kp "Free Bird"]] by Music/LynyrdSkynyrd.

* EvilIsSexy: Baby Firefly.

* ToughActToFollow: None of Zombie's movies since ''Devil's Rejects'' have received the critical and audience appreciation that this one did. Halloween and its sequel made way more money than this but they got a mixed to negative reception with all the movies after that being box office and critical disappointments.

* [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment of Awesome]]:
** The "Free Bird" scene.
** Any time Otis speaks. Action movies ''wish'' they had lines that quotable.
** "I been lookin' for you, clown."
* [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]]: The ice cream scene. ''Tutti-fucking-frutti!''
** The "chicken fucker" scene -- "THAT GODDAMN CHICKEN WILL GO CRAZY ON YO' ASS! KAAAAAW!"
-->'''Wolf:''' "Are you sayin' that I'd cut off a chicken's head, stick my dick in it, fuck it...and go 'Aaaaawh!'? You accusin' me of fuckin' a ''chicken'', mothafucker?!\\
'''Chicken Farmer:''' "Now, I ain't callin' ''you'' a chicken fucker, but...*points to Clevon*...that boy over there lookin' sexually frustrated, and...''I'' don't approve of chicken-fuckin'.\\
'''Clevon:''' "[[{{Angrish}} D'jyou hea' wha' he jus' call' me, foss, I ain' no fuck'n sexully frustrate- I]] [[TheUnintelligible aughakigagagaholiopagahama-!]]"[[note]]"Did you hear what he just called me, boss? I'm not fucking sexually frustrated! I ([[TheUnintelligible devolves into rapid, angry shouting that's completely impossible to understand]])"[[/note]]\\
'''Wolf:''' "Man, everybody just stop yackin' and grab the fuckin' chickens, Clevon!"

--> '''Otis:''' ''I am the devil. And I am here to do the devils work''.

* TearJerker: While unexpected for a film like this, [[spoiler: Tiny's final fate]] could still easily fit this trope, especially considering Otis' final words to him. [[LetThemDieHappy Even sadder is he never keeps his promise]].
* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Having villain protagonists, it's difficult to root for anyone in the film.
** Perhaps the intention of Rob Zombie. There are no black and white, just the flawed vs the worst kind of people.
-->[[spoiler: '''Otis:''' We'll come back for you.]]

* RootingForTheEmpire: Although Rob Zombie said that the movie was intended to have no good guys, some fans felt that Sheriff Wydell's torturing of the Fireflies was morally justifiable and that the Fireflies richly deserved it. Conversely, there have been reports of entire theaters clapping during Wydell's death.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The movie was made at the height of the "War On Terror", and it shows.

--> '''Wolf:''' "Ah, quit yo whinin' and grab the fuckin' chickens, Clevon!"

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Having villain protagonists, it's difficult to root for anyone in the film.
** Perhaps the intention of Rob Zombie. There are no black and white, just the flawed vs the worst kind of people.

* CrazyAwesome: Captain. Fucking. Spaulding.

* CryForTheDevil: Although Wydell did terrible things in the name of justice, it's difficult not to sympathize with his grief and rage over his brother's death.

* CryForTheDevil:
** Although Wydell did terrible things, it's difficult not to sympathize with his grief and rage over his brother's death.

* TearJerker: While unexpected for a film like this, [[spoiler: Tiny's final fate]] could still easily fit this trope, especially considering Otis' final words to him.

** Similarly, although Wydell is a loathsome man who does terrible things, it's difficult not to sympathize with his grief and rage over his brother's death.

** The Fireflies may be some of the worst people imaginable, but at the end, [[spoiler:when they all reconvene, horribly injured from Wydell's tortures with Tiny choosing to stay behind and die in the burning house, it's difficult not to feel at least somewhat sorry for them.]]

** Similarly for those who rooted for them seeing Wydell get his neck snapped counts as this.

** Whereas the DVD menu for ''Film/HouseOf1000Corpses'' was funny. The DVD menu for this movie is downright freakish.
