It is the sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, picking up six months later as the remaining members of the psychotic Firefly family are on the run from a posse of State Troopers who want them to answer for over 75 murders and disappearances over the past several years.Of course, we all know this isn't going to be easy, and when Baby and Otis escape from the resultant firefight, they'll be out for one thing: Mayhem. Gory, stomach-wrenching mayhem.Good times.A sequel, 3 from Hell was released in 2019.Has a character sheet. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
| The Devil's Rejects / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: The Firefly family vs. Sheriff Wydell. Ultimately very few named characters and no major characters in the film wind up being entirely sympathetic. A film where the protagonists are vicious serial killers and their opposition is a religiously fanatical Rabid Cop seeking vengeance is ultimately how the story winds up. A telling example of the fact that this film leans very heavily to the cynical end of the spectrum is that all the named characters that are not in some way involved with either the Firefly family in some manner or the police wind up being innocents get caught up in the situation and wind up dying horribly. | |

Genre Shift | |
| The Devil's Rejects / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: House of 1000 Corpses was a straight forward Hillbilly Horrors Slasher Movie. This one is more of an outlaw movie along the lines of Easy Rider or Bonnie and Clyde. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |
| The Devil's Rejects / int_1d18887f | comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: Wydell's torture of the Fireflies. Although he embraces He Who Fights Monsters, the people he was horrifically abusing and butchering had seventy-five bodies (minimum) worth of victims, ranging from torture and rape to horrific mutilation. The fact that they actively brag about their kills in detail doesn't help their situation. | |

Black Comedy: The blackest of black. There's plenty of humorous scenes, but it's overshadowed by the sheer grittiness. A prime example of this is when Captain Spaulding punches out a mother in front of her son before gleefully threatening the kid. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty: This movie removes the one the Fireflies carried in House of 1000 Corpses.

Ultimately averted in 3 From Hell, which reveals that they somehow managed to survive. | |

Fake Band: Banjo & Sullivan. It's a plot point that Adam Banjo and Roy Sullivan are country musicians, but we never actually hear them perform in film. One of their songs appears on the soundtrack album, while a full fake Greatest Hits Album, titled The Ultimate Collection 1972-1978, was released as a tie-in: In both cases, the music was provided by country performer Jesse Dayton. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: There's no mention of Grandpa Hugo or Dr. Satan from the first film; Rob Zombie decided not to recast the former out of respect for Dennis Fimple, who died shortly after shooting his role in House of 1000 Corpses, while the latter was shot, but cut out of the film as he felt it would’ve been out of place for the type of film he was making, comparing it to putting Chewbacca in The Wild Bunch. | |

Deconstructed Trope: In any other horror movie the Firefly family would have survived long enough whenever the sequels demanded it. This movie doesn't play that Karma Houdini card. Or at least it didn't for a very long time, and even then they were arrested and Spaulding gets the death penalty. | |

Fandom Rivalry: In-Universe. The police aren't happy about the movie buff's complaining about how Elvis Presley's death knocked that of Groucho Marx off of the front page. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| The Devil's Rejects / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: After spending most of the movie (and untold years before that) torturing, raping and killing, the three remaining Fireflies are captured, tortured and beaten by Sheriff Wydell. After escaping thanks to Tiny, they don't get very far because of a roadblock of pissed off cops with guns. | |

Defiant to the End | |
| The Devil's Rejects / int_966da803 | comment |
Defiant to the End: Deconstructed when Otis kills Adam: as the former points out, using your last breath to insult your killer with a Precision F-Strike doesn't suddenly makes the killer want to run for the hills or really makes your death any less undignified (he even escalates the brutality of Adam's death as an act of showing him "how heroes die"). Karma hits Otis hard later, as he along with the rest of his family are victims of the trope's deconstruction as well. They fight with all they got against the police, insulting them and mocking their victims. Which does...nothing. In particular, when Wydell captures and tortures Otis, Baby and Captain Spaulding, they mock the sheriff and insult thier previous victims, including the sheriff's deceased brother. It does nothing to stop Wydell from torturing them and neither makes them brave or less powerless as they are now. The same can be said about their last stand against the cops, in which they decide to fight to the end, and they are quickly overpowered and defeated without killing a single cop. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Devil's Rejects / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A very dark example. When the audience first meets the Banjo and Sullivan crew, they're reminiscing about a time when Gloria's top fell off while riding a mechanical bull, leaving her breasts exposed. The story is told with humour at first, but later on, Gloria is subjected to a Shameful Strip by Otis, who proceeds to rape her with his gun. | |

Ascended Extra: Sort of; in the original film Captain Spaulding's connection to the Firefly family was tenuous at best and after the opening half was absent from the rest of the film. In the sequel it's revealed that he's the family patriarch and has a considerably more prominent role in the film. | |

Karma Houdini: The Unholy Two succeed in helping Sheriff Wydell capture Otis, Baby, and Spaulding, but even killed one of Charlie Altamont's prostitutes in the process, and they disappear afterwards. However, this finally changed for Rondo in 3 From Hell, while the fate of Billy Ray Snapper (who didn't appear nor was mentioned in 3 From Hell) was left unknown. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: For all their monstrosity throughout, the remaining members of the Firefly family seem to have finally gained a conscience at the end, and despite all they've done, the scene is shot in a somber light with no sound other than "Freebird" playing. Then they come to a roadblock, with dozens of cops preparing to rain bullets down on them ... and they resolve to go out in one last blaze of glory. | |

Precision F-Strike: For a movie that holds the record for F-bombs (224 uses, to be exact), it has an F-strike made all the sweeter by the fact it actually lampshades the F-strike itself! Arguably becomes an Ironic Echo toward the end when Wydell has Baby at his mercy. | |

Sheriff Wydell is perfectly fine with slapping and choking Mama Firefly, as well as torturing and beating Baby relentlessly. And they deserve every bit of it. | |
