St Trinian's (St. Trinian's School for (Bad) Girls in DVD release) is 2007 comedy film, a reboot of the classic St. Trinian's series of films from the 1950s and 1960s.Like the original series, the setting is a disreputable girls' school, where the only rule is that there are no rules. When the school is threatened with foreclosure by the bank and the ultra-conservative Minister of Education, the girls, faced with threats from all sides, decide to pull off the biggest heist ever concocted by a bunch of teenagers.The film stars an ensemble of well-known English talent, with Talulah Riley, Lily Cole, Juno Temple, Paloma Faith, Kathryn Drysdale, Gemma Arterton, and Tamsin Egerton playing the students. The supporting cast also includes Russell Brand as Flash Harry, Rupert Everett as Miss Fritton, and Colin Firth as the Minister of Educationnote thus avoiding the Celebrity Paradox by making jokes about Another Country, Pride and Prejudice (1995) and Girl with a Pearl Earring. The film is notable for Firth and Everett performing "Love Is in the Air" over the end credits.Two years later followed a poorly-received (though not bad) sequel, St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (featuring David Tennant as the villain). | |

Mythology Gag | |
| St Trinian's (2007) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Several taken from the older films; The bust that Annabelle shatters is of Alistair Sim, the actor who portrayed Miss Fritton in the earlier films. Similarly, the painting in Miss Fritton's office is also of Sim. The animated heist plan mimics the artistic style of Ronald Searle, whose cartoons inspired the films. The uniforms the Posh Totties wear to the School Challenge are based on the uniforms from the earlier films. On the way to the School Challenge final, the camera lingers on the visible tops of Annabelle's stockings. The fact that the girls wore this style in the 50s movies was seen as shocking and scandalous. A deleted scene has a ministry official suggest "Let Those Wildcats Beware" as a news headline for the Minister's plan to make St. Trinian's an example; this is a reference to Wildcats of St. Trinian's. Thwaite shoots it down as stupid, which may itself be a reference to how bad Wildcats was. At least one of the pictures the camera pans over in the Art Room is based on one of the original Searle drawings (The original caption to which is "...And this is Rachel, our Head girl.") | |

Custom Uniform | |
| St Trinian's (2007) / int_31237f3e | comment |
Custom Uniform: Due to the rather relaxed rules at St. Trinian's, all the girls wear custom uniforms apart from Annabel at first. Averted for laughs in one scene, where instead of scolding a student for dangling a girl off of the stairs, a teacher demands that she tuck her shirt in. | |

Gargle Blaster | |
| St Trinian's (2007) / int_67edaf78 | comment |
Gargle Blaster: The vodka some of the girls distill is labelled "100% proof". It's powerful enough that a tiny taste makes Geoffrey quite drunk for a few minutes, and a shot glass full of it is powerful enough to knock a Russian girl unconscious. Previous versions apparently made people go blind and may have killed a woman. | |

Feigning Intelligence | |
| St Trinian's (2007) / int_9676f715 | comment |
Feigning Intelligence: Done as part of a Gambit Roulette when the girls partake in a nation-wide quiz to find the smartest school in Britain. They use increasingly underhanded tactics to win each round (including sleeping with the other contestants and drugging one unfortunate team) and use the Internet to look up the answers, which are then relayed to the girls on stage. It does help that they know some of the answers. | |

Shout-Out | |
| St Trinian's (2007) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Pride and Prejudice gets a lot: Many of the cast have some connection to P&P: Colin Firth was Mr. Darcy and Anna Chancellor (Miss Bagstock) was Miss Bingley in the 1995 miniseries; Talulah Riley (Annabelle) was Mary Bennet in the 2005 film version; and Gemma Arterton (Kelly) was Elizabeth Bennet in the 2008 miniseries Lost in Austen. Miss Fritton's dog is named for Mr. Darcy. This becomes distinctly "meta" in that the dog is kicked out the window while attempting to hump the Education Minister's leg - even Mr Darcy wants Colin Firth! Colin Firth's slow-motion walk to the hockey field in wet white shirt with his jacket over his arm mimics a similar scene he did in Pride and Prejudice (1995). The quizmaster's question "What book was originally titled First Impressions?" references the original title of Pride and Prejudice. Similarly, there are a number of shoutouts surrounding "The Girl With A Pearl Earring", starting with Colin Firth's role in the 2003 film of the same name, the explicit reference to Colin Firth wanting to shag her, and Chelsea initially thinking that the idea is to "steal Scarlett Johansson''. To The Italian Job (1969), when the twins use a little too much explosive during the heist rehearsal. In her mannerisms and mode of dress, Camilla Fritton parodies Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. When Thwaites and Camilla meet, she says "Another time!" and he answers "Another country!" His response is the title of a 1984 film in which Rupert Everett and Colin Firth first starred together. When Annabelle is entering the school for the first time, she calls it "Hogwarts for Pikeys". A deleted scene has the girls running a Fight Club, which of course no one talks about. | |

Naïve Newcomer: Annabelle when she first shows up at school and comes around to being a full fledged St. Trinian's girl by the time the first half of the movie is over. Miss Dickinson is the new English teacher and she's completely overwhelmed on her first day. She appears to have gotten a decent grasp of what's going on by the time the film ends. | |
