Tropes for the film:
- Alliterative Name: Betty Broderick.
- Car Fu: Played with: she didn't hit anyone, but Betty infamously drove a car through the front door of Dan's home after learning that he sold their old home without her knowledge.
- Character Title: A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story.
- A Deadly Affair: Ultimately, the affair of Dan and Linda ends with their murders.
- I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: Baxter and Collins previously worked together on All the President's Men.
- Mid Life Crisis Car: Betty taunts her soon-to-be ex about how he should pose for the cover of "Midlife Crisis Magazine", citing his much younger (21 years old) new girlfriend, and of course, his flashy red sports car.
