  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Jan only appears in the first half of the film, but she's almost universally cited as a highlight both due to being a sympathetic and nuanced portrayal of a transgender woman and Mickey Rourke's excellent performance.
    • Buck, thanks to Tom Arnold's chilling and utterly against type performance.
  • He Really Can Act: Tom Arnold's genuinely terrifying performance as Buck Rowan received a lot of praise from critics.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Steve Buscemi as AR Hosspack. He only appears in three scenes and doesn't have lines in one of them, but his snarky and condescending attitude makes him a memorable presence.
  • Values Resonance: Jan, the sole transgender character in the movie, is depicted as a nuanced and sympathetic character and is never treated like a punchline by the narrative.
