Higher Learning/YMMV
- Ethnic Scrappy: Dr. Phipps is treated this way in-story (when some of the students mock his accent).
- Fetish Fuel: Deja in her track suit.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Deja is shot in the stomach by Remy and suffers an agonizing death, vomiting up blood.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Laurence Fishburne's first line is "Welcome to the real world."
- Misaimed Fandom: Some white viewers tentatively identify with Remy, arguing that his homicidal rampage in the climax was only an accounting for what had been done to him. They forget that 1) Fudge and his goons, for all their negative traits, are not bloodthirsty zealots; and 2) the two people actually shot to death by Remy are innocents who never tormented him and barely even knew him.
