"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* WhatAnIdiot:
** Otis is suddenly pistol-whipped and carjacked by a random thug. Junior is still in the car while the thug drives away.
*** '''You'd Expect:''' Otis to either a) shoot out the tires, b) tell Junior to jump out as he gets beaten up and thrown out (telling him to do so when the car is in motion is definitely a bad idea), or c) carjack someone. He had a gun and even shot one of the thugs following the other thug in another car.
*** '''Instead:''' He keeps running after the car, wasting precious oxygen to scream "'''JUNIOR!!!'''" at the top of his lungs. And he still somehow had enough energy to chase down Coco.
** Lucky gives Big Meat ''his own jewelry'' to pay Junior's ransom. Even Big Meat notices his initials on one of the watches. This could be excused by nobody telling Lucky that the key was from Meat's stash house but that alone should raise a red flag.

** Otis' street name(s), "Oxygen" or "O2". He claims that he got the name "Oxygen" because he has a tendency to disappear after making an impact on different blocks he'd sell drugs on. Eventually, he became so notorious that they "upgraded" him to "O2". [[CriticalResearchFailure The thing is, the most common form of oxygen is O2, so it's not really an upgrade]]. Also, the idea of oxygen being used as a metaphor for something disappearing is a bit silly. There's also the fact that "O2" could've easily just been a PunnyName instead of this needlessly complex reason.

Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser. If both people display toxic behaviors, it's Romanticized Abuse. If the romantic partner is an unpleasant person but not outright abusive, then they are just a Jerk Ass.


** Otis beats up Coco's BastardBoyfriend for hitting her, barking at him for "putting his hands on a woman". [[{{Hypocrite}} This coming from the same person who was chasing, manhandling, and pointing a gun in her face just a few minutes ago]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Otis and Coco's romance and sex scene with very little buildup and chemistry (all while Otis' son is held for random) could emit a chuckle or two from ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' players, which, depending on player choice, can happen to two of the player characters when they meet.

Otis' use of SayMyName concerning his son '''JUNIOR!''' is also hilariously reminiscent of '''[[MemeticMutation JASON!/SHAUN!]]'''

** P-Money being a pimp.. but not really? He forces women to sell clothes on the streets and return the profits to him. It comes across like the original concept of the film had P-Money as a straight-up pimp but they decided to {{Bowdlerise}} for whatever reason, even though the film is already a gritty, R-rated crime drama.

* TheWoobie: Junior. He is apparently picked on a bit in school, is visibly shaken by his father showing up late, and then gets kidnapped. Right when he's finally rescued in the hostage situation, he is very nearly shot and killed by one of Big Meat's henchmen, and witnesses a large-scale shootout ([[FridgeHorror and who knows what he's witnessed in captivity]]). Finally, he is forced to leave the country with a woman he's never even met for Mexico. Assuming he's made any friends in school, [[TearJerker he will probably never see them again]].
