The Bad Guys 2, Explained By Tropes!

"Things sure have changed. Not everyone believes it, but The Bad Guys went good. And we cannot wait for society to welcome us with open arms!"

— Mr. Wolf 

Hey Guys, So, It's Time For The Bad Guys 2, Explained By Tropes, Basically It Lists Every Trope Ever Featured In The Movie, So Enjoy!, Also, All Of These Tropes Are Sourced By The TV Tropes Page For The Film (You Can Read It Here)

So, Let's Start! - R.T

• 0% Approval Rating: Despite every positive thing she's done as Governor, Diane becomes loathed by everyone the moment the truth about her being the Crimson Paw is leaked online. The reactions of those attending the funeral suggest she regained respect in the public eye after her faked death alongside the Bad Guys, however.
• Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: The wedding heist scene is followed by the Bad Guys and Girls hanging out at the warehouse hideout, showcasing the growing friendships between Doom and Pigtail with the rest of the crew, while Wolf and Kitty talk privately about how she became a villain.

• Actor Allusion: Natasha Lyonne once again voices a snarky female bird involved in an intergalactic mission.
• Actually Pretty Funny: When meeting the Bad Guys at the Lords of Lucha tournament, Doom calls Piranha a "mango with teeth." Shark finds that hilarious and asks Doom to insult him next.

• Adaptation Deviation: While the first movie could be considered a loose adaptation of books 1-4, this movie is far more its own thing, with its most prominent book ties being the rocket heist from Book 5 and the girls from Book 8, but even then, the movie does its own thing entirely with said concepts.

• Adaptational Mundanity: In the books, the space laser used by Marmalade is a "Cute-Zilla Ray" that transforms every cute animal on Earth into a monster. In this film, the Bad Girls instead build an electric magnet that can magnetize gold.

• Adaptational Nationality: Agent Hogwild in the books, while not given a confirmed location of origin, is portrayed as American Southern, complete with a Hayseed Name as her real name. Here, Pigtail, her movie counterpart, is Bulgarian.

• Adaptational Species Change: Kitty Kat and Pigtail (Hogwild in the books) (who are a domestic cat and pig, respectively, in the books) are a snow leopard and a wild boar here.

• Adaptation Name Change: The pig character in the books is named Agent Hogwild. In the movie, she's now named Pigtail.
• Adapted Out: Shortfuse is the only member of the girl team from the books not to be adapted into the film.

• All There in the Manual: The Bad Girls are never actually referred to as the "Bad Girls" at any point in the film. The name only appears in the marketing material.

• Arc Symbol: Lollipops for Kitty to symbolize control. She's always seen chewing on one or playing around with it in her mouth, and later relates to Wolf that stealing the teacher's supply of them, intended to be handed out to "good kids", was her first crime, giving her a taste of the respect/fear she craves with every theft, as the kids were forced to deal with Kitty instead for the sweets. When Kitty loses control of her emotions and tries to strangle Doom for wanting to help Snake and Piranha, the lollipop flies out of her mouth. Later, Wolf unwraps a lollipop in the zero-gravity environment within the space shuttle, snacking on it himself when he reveals his presence to Kitty as a "power move" before they start brawling over the MacGuffinite magnet's remote.

• Artistic License – Space: Quite a few cases during the last third of the film.
• Diane should not have been able to survive the rocket being launched. One, she wasn't buckled in, so the launch would toss her body around and cause serious injuries. Two, she wasn't wearing an astronaut suit, which is meant to help maintain a safe air pressure, so she'd end up with the bends at best. Lastly, she was unconscious during the launch, meaning she was far more susceptible to flat-out dying even without all the other factors.
• There's no way the Bad Guys could have boarded the rocket the way they did. The sound alone from a rocket launch can kill someone if they're too close, so right off the bat, all of them, plus Luggins, would be dead. If that doesn't do it, definitely the fact that they are literally freezing while trying to open the hatch. They would only last a few seconds, so turning the latch the wrong way would be a death sentence.
• The space suits wouldn't do much good for most of the crew. Spacesuits are essentially life support systems when outside the rocket, but they only work when worn properly. Considering the spacesuits are made for more humanoid creatures, they would really only be effective on Wolf and Shark.

• Badass Longcoat: Misty Luggins, now the Commissioner of police, wears a trench coat over her uniform, though she removes it when she springs into action.

• Big Damn Heroes: Diane saves Wolf from Kitty Kat out of nowhere (while they’re in the ship) after it looks like she’ll tear him to dog meat.

• Big Damn Reunion: After spending a huge chunk of the story apart, Wolf reunites with Diane inside the MOON-X rocket, to which he hugs her, much to her surprise. She hugs him back, while holding on to him, showing how much they missed each other. Cue the Big Damn Kiss.

• Bittersweet Ending: On the downside, Diane is publicly exposed as the Crimson Paw, destroying her reputation, and she and the Bad Guys faking their deaths means they can no longer go out in public again. Marmalade is released from prison and, now returning to his home planet, will no doubt plan another scheme. On the upside, the Bad Guys and Diane do stop the Bad Girls' heist, with Pigtail and Doom beginning to reform while Kitty is sent to prison. The crew is recruited into a top secret agent organization to continue doing good, and their faked deaths allow Commissioner Luggins to influence public opinion so the world would finally recognize them for the heroes that they are.

• Brick Joke: One that spans two movies: In the first movie, Marmalade attempted to help the Bad Guys go good by positively applying their criminal talents. At the end of the sequel, Misty recruits the gang as secret agents so they can legitimately use their talents of espionage against other crooks for the sake of good.

• Bubblegum Popping: An unnamed female DJ during the wrestling scene does this.

Call-Back:

• When Diane figures out that MacGuffinite can be turned into a gold magnet, she says, "All the crime, none of the exercise". Mr. Snake says the same thing in the first film when Marmalade gives him the mind-control helmet.
• In the first film, Snake tells Wolf that he can taste air. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of that ability is shown when he's forced to share a spacesuit with Piranha, who farts out of nervousness about being in space.
  Mr. Snake: Ohh! Piranha! Dude! I can taste it!

• Casting Gag: Craig the bank manager interviewing Wolf for a job is voiced by Michael Godere, who has actually voiced Mr. Wolf himself in various spinoff media, such as The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday, The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist and DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing.

• Central Theme: The movie's two main messages are about remaining hopeful in the darkest situations and the conflict of respect between trusting and fearing others.

Chekhov's Gun:

• When Shark accidentally knocks out Luggins, Wolf leaves a note for her apologizing, referring to the crew as "The Good Guys". In the third act, Luggins, while driving the crew to jail, remembers the note and gives them the benefit of the doubt.
• Chekhov's Gag:
• Shark is prone to panic attacks in this installment, which leads him to toss Wolf's phone and knock out a few people at a few points. However, his panicking becomes useful when the Bad Guys are in space. He and Webs have to hack into the space station's computer to open the airlock. Since Webs cannot interact with the environment due to being in Shark's helmet, she has to give Shark the command to type in. However, he has another panic attack that leads him to destroy the computer. Luckily, though, it opens the airlock anyway.
• Piranha's farting returns in this film, naturally leading to a few gags about his nervousness. The most prominent one, however, is when the Bad Guys are in space. Snake and Piranha - sharing the same spacesuit - have to manually detach the shuttle from the space station. Unfortunately for Snake, Piranha gets so nervous that the fish inflates the suit with his gas. Just as they're floating out in space, Piranha grabs the bank manager's golden pen and punctures the suit with it, causing them to rocket all the way back to the switch and finish the job.
• Chekhov's Hobby: Being so in love with Susan (aka Doom), Snake uncharacteristically takes up hobbies to spend time with her. One of those hobbies is vinyasa, which gives him rock-hard abs. It also gives him enough strength to pull his crewmates up the rocket when they try to board the shuttle.
• Cool Car: After becoming secret agents at the end of the film, the main characters drive off in a cool white muscle car, an upgraded model of Wolf's old black getaway car.

• Cool Shades: The Bad Guys and Diane sport these after being recruited by ISGLOP.

• Criminal Record Stigma: Even though they redeemed themselves from life as thieves at the end of the first film, and even willingly did time, the titular gang have a hard time building themselves a new life after being The Dreaded for years. Everyone is still very suspicious of them (especially the LAPD Commissioner), and no workplace will hire them, not even bowling alleys. One of the first scenes sees the leader, Mr. Wolf, trying to get hired...at a bank he robbed three times. It goes as well as you'd expect. Even Diane Foxington, formerly the infamous Crimson Paw only managed to get as far in life as Governor because her criminal past was never discovered, and the millisecond the villains of the sequel expose her to the public, she sinks all the way to the 0% Approval Rating. It takes the Bad Guys and Diane a (fake) Heroic Sacrifice to finally get some public love despite their past as crooks.

Curb-Stomp Battle:

• Played for Laughs with Wolf and Diane's training spar. After getting knocked around with little to show for it, Wolf begins to pump himself up, declaring that he won't be holding back any longer. Smash Cut to Wolf laid out on the bench, nearly comatose, with a nasty black eye.

• Crisis of Faith: Wolf has a brief one after his private conversation with Kitty, wondering if "going good" was the best thing for him and his friends. Thankfully, the rest of the crew quickly reassures him that it was for the best.

• During her confrontation with the Bad Girls, Diane very quickly knocks down Doom and Pigtail. Kitty holds on relatively longer, even landing a vicious headbutt that almost knocks Diane off the bridge, but is largely outclassed too, relying on distracting Diane with the exposed footage before neutralizing her with a tranquilizer dart.

• During the climax, Wolf has to face off against Kitty Kat. Though pulling some decent evasive maneuvers and even an impressive judo-throw, Wolf spends most of the fight getting thrashed around by Kitty. However, it wasn't about winning the fight, as he later reveals he pickpocketed the Moon-X control watch, while the others had detached the shuttle while Kitty was distracted, allowing Wolf to sabotage the plan regardless.
• Darkest Hour: The third act begins as such, with the Bad Guys being framed for the stolen MacGuffinite, Diane exposed as the Crimson Paw and losing her reputation and position as Governor, Marmalade acquitted and released from prison, and the Bad Girls successfully hijacking the rocket.

• Distant Prologue: The movie opens on the Bad Guys on a heist in Egypt (Ms. Tarantula's first, in fact) before cutting five years to the present.

• Everybody Cries: The Bad Guys manage to foil the Bad Girls' gold heist, but find themselves hurtling towards Earth in the burning space station. Luckily, they survive; however, the world is fooled into thinking that the gang died in the crash landing instead. When Luggins holds a fake funeral for them, everyone attending the service is seen crying and wailing. Even Tiffany Fluffit is in tears while broadcasting the funeral. Luggins - knowing that the Bad Guys are indeed alive.

• Evil Counterpart: Kitty Kat to Wolf. They're both leaders of a group of bad guys, wanting to be feared by everyone when there is no other option.

• Exact Words: As Marmalade starts cackling in his golden limousine-now-spaceship, he mentions that it's time to go home. That home, however, is not on Earth, but beyond the stars.
• Expy: The main heist revolves around a rocket owned by a private aerospace company Moon-X, and the control bracelet owned by the company's owner, Mr. Moon.

• Faking the Dead: As part of a gambit to honor their sacrifice and keep the authorities off them for good, Misty sets up a staged funeral for the Bad Guys after the crash of the Moon-X rocket that the Bad Girls used to steal all of the world's gold. In the next room, they and Diane are hired by the government as secret agents.

• Fantasy Metals: MacGuffinite, known in full as "MacGuffinium Fictitium", is a rare metal with no known practical use yet, but it's been used to make several valuable items, which are stolen early in the film. As it turns out, Marmalade had been researching the metal prior to his arrest, and MacGuffinite is not only magnetic, but also the atomic inverse of gold. At a high enough voltage, it can turn into a powerful gold magnet. Kitty's plan is to install the stolen MacGuffinite onto a space station and steal all of the world's gold at once.
• Five-Second Foreshadowing: After Snake leaves for his vinyasa session, Wolf supports his friend's lifestyle by saying, "As long as he's happy." His ears are briefly seen drooping just before the scene changes to Wolf and Diane in a sparring match, during which she surmises that he's not happy.

Foreshadowing:

• When Wolf comes home from his job interview, the TV is broadcasting a message from Mr. Moon about his rocket launch and the debut of his new power cell. The Bad Girls later steal the rocket and fuse the power cell with the MacGuffinite spheres to make the world's largest gold magnet.

• Early on, when the Bad Guys visit Misty Luggins, they all use their individual experiences as crooks to identify the methods of the Phantom Bandit. Not only were they actually close to catching the Phantom Bandit, but they also thrived and enjoyed their investigation more than their failed job-hunting. It gets to a point that Luggins, who has been under immense stress regarding the case, is downright gleeful when their deduction of the bandit's strategy proves successful and the Bad Guys themselves are technically victorious in catching the Phantom Bandit at the luchador tournament. At the end, Luggins has found ways to enlist them as secret agents to use their talents at heists against other crooks, giving the Bad Guys a much better, meaningful job than they thought.
• Following the wedding heist, when Wolf is explaining to Kitty how he pulled it off, he swipes Mr. Moon's watch from her as a demonstration of his skill in misdirection. In the climax, he demonstrates this to her again by making her think he's trying to take the magnet controller, when in reality, he steals the watch from her again.

Gilligan Cut:

• during Wolf and Diane's sparring match. Wolf decides to get serious and tries to show her what he can do. Smash cut to Wolf lying flat on his back with a black eye.
• As the team struggles to withstand the heat of the shuttle's re-entry, Wolf states that they'll land it, or die trying. Cut to their (fake) funeral. Also counts as a Funeral Cut.

• Good Is a Choice: After leaving their criminal lives behind, The Bad Guys actively try to live as law-abiding citizens. This isn't easy, as they're constantly rejected for jobs due to being ex-cons, but they do try and continue to make the right choices... despite the nigh constant temptations to go back to being bad.

• Growling Gut:
• When the Bad Guys first obtain their getaway car, Snake's stomach can be heard rumbling just before he regurgitates the confetti bomb.
• As per his nervousness, Piranha's stomach grumbles just before he farts.
• HA HA HA—No: The Bad Girls kidnap the Bad Guys for the purpose of recruiting them for another job. Wolf politely declines and requests that they let him and the rest of his troupe free. Kitty Kat starts laughing with her allies joining in, and the Bad Guys doing the same out of nervousness. Kitty Kat then bangs her fist on a desk, at which point everybody stops laughing.

• Happy Ending Override: The first film ended with The Bad Guys fully reforming and ready to start their new lives as "Good Guys", the start of this one shows being notorious ex-cons, each of them has difficulty finding jobs thanks to their past reputation, on top of the public pinning the recent string of thefts on them. To make matters worse, it’s even shown that Wolf has been close to getting evicted from his home by the start of the movie.

• Hollywood Density: Zig-zagged. On one hand, the Bad Guys and others seem to have no trouble moving objects that should weigh a lot if they were made of solid gold. But when solid gold objects fall to the ground in the climax, it definitely shows just how hard they would hit.

• Honor Among Thieves: Kitty promises to Wolf that in exchange for helping her steal Mr. Moon's watch, she'll give him the video exposing diane and let the Bad Guys go, and she keeps true to her word. She then goes back on her promises by trapping the Bad Guys in the hangar and uploading Diane's video.

• Hope Spot:
• At the end of Wolf's job interview at the bank, the manager, Craig, says he might have a position available and says he'll call Wolf back. Wolf leaves the office overjoyed, then twirls around to tell Craig something... only to see Craig shoving his resume in the shredder.
• Wolf throws the laptop uploading the video exposing Diane towards the furnace, and it looks like it'll land in the hole... then the laptop clips against the edge of the furnace hole and falls on the floor, finishing the upload in the process.

• Hypocritical Humor:
• Unintentionally by one of the security guards in the Distant Prologue. As he's telling Yalla that Yasmin wants him to be more attentive, he doesn't notice Shark tackling Yalla and taking his clothes as his disguise.
• Despite spending the entire film being Sickeningly Sweethearts with Doom, up to and including putting her entire head in his mouth during a kiss, Snake reacts with disgust when he sees Wolf and Diane share a much more conventional kiss in the finale.

• In Love with the Mark: Doom turns out to have genuine feelings for Snake, to the point of asking Kitty not to let him die in space.

• Instant Sedation: Wolf gets taken out pretty quickly when Doom shoots him with a tranquilizer dart.
• Instant Web Hit: The Crimson Paw's exposure was logically going to go viral no matter what, but it already has tens of thousands of views seconds after the upload completes.

• Interspecies Romance:
• Wolf and Diane (a fox) have obvious feelings for each other, with lots of flirting in their sparring match, but with Diane in her reelection year and Wolf being an ex-con with a bad reputation, they both recognize it'd be bad for her image to have their relationship go any further than "medium-friendly." Snake even teases Wolf that he's being friend-zoned by her. They finally share a Big Damn Kiss in the climax.
• Snake falls in love with Doom (a raven), and his feelings for her only deepen when he learns that she's been conning him.

• Kansas City Shuffle: The Indy Ploy at the wedding heist to salvage it involves baiting Soliman into realising he just met Wolf, as well as him figuring out their obvious ploy of having Wolf dress as the bride to get at Moon's watch and calling them out for it, then using the ensuing chaos to swap Wolf and the bride back after he steals Moon's watch, causing Soliman to make a false accusation and letting the thieves escape.

• Lampshade Hanging: The Applied Phlebotinum is called MacGuffinite, which Piranha says "sounds kinda made-up".
  Webs: Hey, listen to this. Translated into English, the word "MacGuffinite" means "A Small MacGuffin". Cute.
• Lighter and Softer: While still having some dramatic moments, the film is a lot lighter than the Dramedy that was the first.

• Morton's Fork: Kitty puts the Bad Guys into one of these: the gang is handcuffed in gold and suspended in the air by MacGuffinite. In front of them is a laptop ready to upload a video exposing Diane as the Crimson Paw. The computer is wired to the magnet so that if the magnet is turned off, the upload will start. But if the magnet remains on, the upload will be paused. The gang can either allow themselves to get caught, which will spare Diane's reputation, or they can turn the MacGuffinite off to free themselves, which will cause the video to upload and expose Diane. Wolf tries to Take a Third Option by using the short time free from the MacGuffinite to stop or destroy the laptop, but fails.

Mythology Gag:

• The Distant Prologue shows Tarantula in her first heist with the Bad Guys; Legs was the last to join the group, having been introduced in the second book.
• In the scene in Diane's office when she is talking to Wolf on the phone, there is a framed picture of her drawn by a child in the background. The child gave Diane blond hair in the picture, making her resemble her book series counterpart, Agent Fox.
• During the heist at Mr. Moon's wedding, Doom's disguise as a waiter includes a black wig with swooping bangs resembling her book counterpart's emo hairstyle.
• The climax shows the gang attempting to board a rocket ship, related to the One Last Job; stealing a rocket is something the group did in the 5th book, Intergalactic Gas.
• Snake and Piranha have to share a space suit, which Piranha fills with farts that are ultimately used to the duo's benefit. The same happened to Wolf and Piranha in Intergalactic Gas.
• The heist turns out to be to deploy an orbital ray to steal all the gold from Earth, which evokes the book version of Marmalade's plan from Attack of the Zittens. Even their conclusions are similar in that they become events that solidify the Bad Guys as heroes in the minds of the public, albeit played out differently: in Intergalactic Gas, it's Wolf broadcasting a message of goodwill to Earth as he turns off the ray, while in the film, the Bad Guys and Diane (appear to) selflessly sacrifice themselves to stop the heist.

• The film ends with the gang becoming secret agents, all donning matching black suits; their book outfits.
• Similar to the first movie, this movie's home release features the gang standing together against a solid color background in a manner similar to the book covers, this time being yellow; the color of Intergalactic Gas, the book this movie has the most plot ties with.

• Narcissist: Mr. Soliman, an art collector whom the Bad Guys robbed five years prior, has a statue of himself looking far more muscular than he actually is.

• Never Trust a Trailer: The teaser trailer footage has many scenes that differ significantly from the final film, especially the ones taking place in the warehouse where the Bad Girls kidnap the Bad Guys. Notably, the girls are only referred to as The Bad Girls in the trailers, never in the movie itself. The second trailer implies that Wolf and Diane get to converse after the Bad Girls rope them into their scheme, where he assures her that his plan is to pretend to work with the Girls but will actually sabotage their plans from within, none of which actually happens in the movie.

• Not Helping Your Case: While at an interview for a job at a bank, Wolf, a known bank robber, justifies his applying by saying some of his best memories involve banks.

• Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Diane loses her status as governor when the video footage of her being revealed as the Crimson Paw is uploaded online, and she and the Bad Guys are believed to be dead by the rest of the world. On the other hand, the team is offered a job as secret agents thanks to Misty, and Diane gets to be officially part of the team.

• One Last Job: The Bad Girls - Kitty, Pigtail, and Doom - force the Bad Guys to pull off one last heist, or else they'll expose Diane's past as the Crimson Paw to the world.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Just like the previous film the Bad Guys (and Girls) can blend in with disguises during the wedding heist

• Picture-Perfect Pose: When Wolf starts his job interview, the manager reads his resume, showing Wolf’s picture with a cheery smile. When the manager lowers the resume, Wolf is still making that smile.

• Precision F-Strike: While Wolf is driving his, um, car through Los Angeles, an irate driver passes him and shouts, ‘Nice carbon footprint, jackass!’ This was Bowdlerised into “idiot” in the novelization.

• Product Placement: The game of Connect Four that Diane and Marmalade play is the actual brand from Hasbro, not a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo. Diane outright reads from the game's box at one point, with the box using its official design at the time of production without any of the film's stylization, and there's a close-up of one of the tokens when Marmalade deliberately releases the tokens from the frame for dramatic effect, clearly showing the official design with the number "4" on them.

• Promoted to Love Interest: While the girls have always had Ship Tease moments with the guys in the books, the relationships still differ in the film:
• In the books, Snake and Doom have mutual crushes on each other but never act on them. Here, they're smitten the moment they meet, and Doom's backstabbing of Snake only makes him more attracted to her, although they both deny being really in love. Doom's feelings for Snake are solidified when she chooses to disregard Kitty's orders and save Snake's life. In turn, while Doom is doing community service, Snake slips her one of the buttons from his hat to show her he's still alive.
• In the books, Wolf is immediately smitten by Agent Fox, and while she gradually falls for him, the two don't become an item until the final book. Here, they're mutually attracted to each other but choose to keep things only "medium-friendly" in order not to tarnish Diane's reputation, only to share a Big Damn Kiss in the climax, cementing them as a couple.

• Pubescent Braces: Webs wears braces on her teeth in the opening flashback to highlight that this is her first outing with the team.
• Punny Name: The MacGuffinite derives its name from "MacGuffin".
• Rapid-Fire "No!": Said by Diane, as she realizes her past as the Crimson Paw was exposed while reading the irate comments and messages sent to her on her phone.

• Right Out of My Clothes: During the wedding heist, Wolf dresses as the bride in her wedding dress after she accidentally gets tranquilised and can barely stand. Once their Kansas City Shuffle pays off, they quickly pull Wolf right out of the wedding dress, and swap the bride back into the dress.

• Running Gag:
• Shark randomly attacking whenever he panics, which actually proves useful aboard the space station.
• Piranha's frequent farting while under pressure, which proves useful with enough gas to fly himself and Snake from infinite space after using a pen to pop their suit.

• Sequel Hook: The film drops two: after having successfully faked their deaths, the Bad Guys and Diane are recruited into a new organization to start their career as heroic secret agents. In a mid-credits scene, Marmalade's golden limousine is revealed to be a spaceship, and he flies away to his home planet.

• Continuing with the Lupin III homage from the first film, Luggins is now sporting a brown trench coat similar to Zenigata's.
• When Governor Diane confronts the Bad Girls at the rocket pad, one of them mistakenly calls her "Foxenstein." Dianne Feinstein was a long-serving California Senator who passed away in 2023 during production of the film.

• Shipper on Deck: Mr. Shark, when he and the other guys encounter Wolf kissing Diane.
  Mr. Shark: About time!

• Shoo Out the Clowns:
• Following the wedding heist, Wolf and Kitty have a serious conversation in the hangar while the rest of the Bad Guys and Girls celebrate around a bonfire outside.
• This happens again in the climax; Snake, Piranha, Shark, and Tarantula work on helping sabotage the heist while Pigtail and Doom abandon the mission. This leaves Wolf alone to confront Kitty in the space station, followed by Diane.
• 
  

• Significant Name Shift: Wolf spends most of his interactions with Luggins calling her Chief, and every time, she bitterly reminds him that she's the Commissioner now. This is meant to emphasize that because of her lack of trust in them despite his effort to reform, Wolf doesn't respect her in turn. When she gives the Bad Guys the benefit of the doubt and helps them get to the Moon-X rocket, Wolf finally addresses her as Commissioner, which makes Luggins cry tears of joy.

• Slipping a Mickey: After the Bad Guys are set up as the Phantom Bandit and narrowly escape arrest, Doom tricks them into eating mints laced with sedatives. Wolf, the only one not to take a mint, is shot by a tranquilizer dart.

• Space Is Noisy: In the space scenes, everything that takes place outside of the shuttle and space station is accompanied by extremely muffled sound effects. The only fully audible noise is the laser from the activated gold magnet, and its explosion.
• Start of Darkness: Kitty tells Wolf a story about how she had a teacher in school who gave lollipops to students who were "good". Kitty never received even one, so she stole the entire bag from the teacher's desk, ensuring that the other kids would have to come to her for lollipops.

• Take a Third Option: Wolf tries this when stuck in Kitty's Morton's Fork dilemma by turning off the MacGuffinite magnet and attempting to destroy the laptop containing the video exposing Diane as the Crimson Paw. He fails.

• Stylistic Self-Parody: Doom makes fun of Piranha’s head shape by calling him a "mango with teeth".

• Tranquilizer Dart: The Bad Girls have a tranquilizer gun that they use three times across the movie.
• First, Doom uses it to subdue Mr. Wolf, since he declined to take a breath mint laced with sedatives.
• Second, Doom drops it during the watch heist and it accidentally shoots the bride.
• Finally, Kitty Kat uses the gun to sedate Diane while she's distracted.
• Unobtanium: All the Bad Girls' heists revolve around the theft of objects made out of "MacGuffinite", a metal which, when linked to a certain magnetic field, can attract gold.

• Villain Cred: The Bad Girls are well-aware of the Bad Guys' villainous legacy, with Kitty's first scene having her give a monologue about the importance of the "Big Bad Wolf," and Pigtail is overjoyed to meet her personal heroes.

• 
  
• Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: The kitten only appears during the scene in the Bad Guys' lair at the beginning and never shows up again for the rest of the film.

"As you might have noticed, change isn't easy. Some days, it's gonna feel downright hopeless. But with the right attitude, and the right friends, the good life has a way of finding you." - You, Finding This Quote After Reading This Post, And Thank You! - R.T
