12	!!Tropes for the film:
13	* CensorSteam: An (interrupted) almost-sex scene uses the shadow of the female character's own leg as her censor steam.
14	* ChainsawGood: Played straight when a frog-man (sporting an EyepatchOfPower, no less) uses a chainsaw to remove Sam's chastity belt. He somehow manages it without injuring Sam or himself.
15	** DontCelebrateJustYet: The frog-man is in the middle of mocking Sam while holding up the mangled chastity belt, when it explodes in his face.
16	* CoolCar: The Med-Tech vehicle used to travel to Frogtown is a pink '47 Chevy van that is best described as a mix of ambulance and APC, with an M-60 mounted on top. There's also the frogmen's car they unleash on the final act, a 1962 Plymouth Belvedere-turned-makeshift [[TankGoodness tank]].
17	* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: The group, led by Sam, find one of the fertile women they're trying to rescue, but she's uncooperative and they end up tying her up and injecting her with hormones. For some reason they've brought Sam, one of the few fertile men left, on the trip and he's forced to "get to work". The next morning she's pregnant and grateful. This seems to be a theme with Sam; in the opening scene he's being accused by an angry father of sexual assault, but no one will press charges when it turns out the daughter is pregnant.
18	* EarnYourHappyEnding: The group beat the frog-men, rescued the women and even survived a surprise attack from the angry father (from the beginning of the movie). Of course, Sam has to complete his "duties"...
19	-->'''Sam''': I guess it's true what they say.
20	-->'''Spangle''': What's that?
21	-->'''Sam''': A soldier's work is never done.
22	* ExoticEquipment: The frog men [[spoiler:are revealed to have three-pointed penises]] during Spangle's harem dance sequence.
23	-->'''Frog Man Leader''': (''quite turned on by Spangle'') You have aroused the three-headed snake!
24	* ExplosiveLeash: A particularly painful example, in that the bomb is strapped to Sam's ''[[GroinAttack groin]]''.
25	* FrogMen: In a world with very few fertile men also has an entire sub-race of mutated humanoid Frogs kept in the ghetto due to FantasticRacism.
26	* {{Gendercide}}: Sam Hell, one of the last fertile men on Earth (and is thus in high demand). Along with Spangle doing a sexy dance and a man-sized frog [[spoiler:with a three headed penis! who utters the classic line]] after Spangle's dance: "You have aroused the three-headed snake!".
27	* GenderRarityValue: Sam Hell is the most fertile man on Earth in a future where fertility is scarce. While valuable, he is forced into a government mission to rescue -- and impregnate -- a treasured group of fertile women.
28	* MandatoryMotherhood: A rare both-gender version, with Sam Hell one of the last fertile men coerced into both signing over his reproductive organs to Med Tech and rescuing a handful of fertile women from the titular Frogtown.
29	* OnlyYouCanRepopulateMyRace: Sam Hell is one of the rare fertile males [[AfterTheEnd after the nuclear war]] killed many and rendered most of the rest sterile. (Which is, admittedly, [[ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics not really how radiation works]], but the title should have told you what to expect.) The government -- by this point a LadyLand -- [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin orders him to go to a city of froglike mutants]] and mate with a group of fertile females imprisoned there.
30	* ReallyGetsAround: Sam is a notorious womanizer. Good thing he's fertile, too!
