Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: At the wedding, Nikki interrupts at that point to reveal that (1) Simon Worthington is a criminal who had Nikki's boyfriend murdered and her framed for it in order to cover up his crimes, and (2) the wedding can't continue because the groom is in love with her. | |

| Who's That Girl / int_191a3673 | comment |
Graceful Loser: Other than her initial (and understandable) reaction to being jilted at the altar, Wendy takes losing Louden to Nikki surprisingly well. It helps that her own faithfulness is seriously in question, and that she ends up with hunky delivery guy Buck at the end. | |

The cougar comes to Nikki's rescue a few times in the movie when she whistles for him, and he and his mate even follow after their bus at the end. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Nikki is full 80s-vintage Madge. She spends much of the movie in a short skirt and fishnets, and at one point trades it in for a slinky silver gown with an Impossibly-Low Neckline. The girl in Mr. Bell's rooftop preserve, who meows and growls, and pretty much dresses in a Fur Bikini. | |

Why Waste a Wedding? | |
| Who's That Girl / int_b10d73ea | comment |
Why Waste a Wedding?: Although the wedding is called off when Louden confesses his love for Nikki, the passengers on the bus Nikki was riding on waste no time taking advantage of the food being served at the wedding. | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! | |
| Who's That Girl / int_b7bc7d28 | comment |
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Nikki is a Motor Mouth whirlwind of chaos who can't sit still, and seldom focuses on any one task for more than a few minutes. Notably, during the final Sword Fight between Louden and Simon, she tells Louden to hurry up because she's bored. About the one thing that can hold her attention is her desire for vengeance. | |

Five-Finger Discount: How Nikki acquires things, whether they be cassette tapes or expensive cigarette holders. As a show of her street smarts, she arranges her thefts by planting merchandise on some random schlub to set off the alarm so she can escape while security is distracted. | |

Cat Scare: A big cat scare, as at the beginning of the film, the delivery cyclist bolts right off the docks when he finds out what kind of cat he has to deliver. It then becomes a Running Gag throughout the film with Murray freaking out Louden, random carjackers, Benny and Raoul, and various other unfortunates to cross his path. | |

The Ditz | |
| Who's That Girl / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: While Nikki is much sharper than she lets on, Wendy is just about full-on this trope. Buck is very big. And very stupid. At one point he helpfully tells Wendy and Louden he witnessed the theft of Wendy's mother's car, and that he wrote down the license plate. Of their own car. Even Wendy calls him out on it. For his part, Buck is so cheerfully dumb he admits freely admits he couldn't be any dumber when asked. | |

Inspector Javert: The police detectives Bellson and Doyle, who follow Nikki around town. It's a bit more sympathetic than most examples, as they're not after Nikki, nor even actively pursuing her. Bellson merely suspects that there's more to her boyfriend's killing and he's keeping tabs on her in hopes she leads them to the real mastermind. It turns out he's completely right: Nikki finds evidence that Simon was in league with hitmen who killed Johnny and framed Nikki to cover up his illicit business dealings. Upon receiving the letter containing the evidence, Bellson gratefully compliments Nikki for leading him and Doyle to it. | |

Drives Like Crazy: Nikki, once she gets a hold of Louden's car. It's not just because she's out of practice after four years in prison. Nikki's bad driving is what got her busted in the first place; she ran a stop, and the cops found Johnny's body in the trunk when she was pulled over. | |
