* AdaptationalHeroism: While Lucy Gray will do anything to survive, she is clearly traumatized of the prospect of having to kill the other tributes during the Games, and regrets accidentally killing [[spoiler:Dill]] through the rat poison. By contrast, book Lucy Gray has far lesser qualms about killing others so she can win, and in fact has a bigger body count (while she doesn't kill [[spoiler:Dill]], she does use the rat poison to kill [[spoiler:Wovey and Reaper]], and uses her pet snake to kill [[spoiler:Treech]]).



* ForegoneConclusion: As this is a prequel to ''Film/TheHungerGames'', Coriolanus will survive to eventually become the President of Panem. The trailers even conclude with words that he'll speak several decades later.

* UncertainDoom:
** The last time Clemensia is seen, she is lying paralyzed on the floor after being bitten by Dr. Gaul's snake mutt, with guards carrying her away. We never learn what happens to her after that.
** Also the fate of [[spoiler:Lucy Gray Baird. Coriolanus tries to shoot her with an assault rifle, and seemingly manages to do so, only to learn that he has been shooting at nothing. Later, Highbottom tells him that while the chance of her still being alive is slim, the Capitol has not been able to find her whereabouts, meaning she may either have died or moved away to the north like she wanted to.]]

* DirtyCop: Panem’s security forces are riddled with corruption. Sejanus is able to bribe a guard into [[spoiler:letting him ''enter the arena in the middle of the Hunger Games'']], and at the start of the third act Coriolanus uses all the money he has left to bribe an officer to [[spoiler:assign him to a post in District 12 instead of District 8, as Casca Highbottom had intended.]]

* CallForward: Lucy Gray does a mocking curtsy/bow in the trailer, much like Katniss did in the first film (which takes place decades later).
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: In the trailer, Lucy Gray gives a mocking curtsy/bow as she is led off to the games.
* FiringInTheAirALot: There is a shot in the trailer of Snow shooting an assault rifle into the canopy of a forest.
* GrinOfRage: In the trailers Lucy Gray Baird keeps her mouth shut tight to control her anger when she's reaped to be District 12's female tribute, and the result is TheUnsmile.
* ForegoneConclusion: As this is a prequel to ''Film/TheHungerGames'', Coriolanus will survive to eventually become the President of Panem. The trailers even conclude with words that he'll speak several decades later.
* RetroUniverse: The trailers show that Panem is a mix of several different decades from our world; the characters (especially from the districts) wear clothing that ranges from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century, but the Capitol uses drones in the Hunger Games.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Felix Ravinstill survives the stadium bombing in the book, whereas he is gravely injured and eventually dies in the film.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Aside from Sejanus, most of Coriolanus' fellow Mentors have reduced roles compared to the book. This hits Clemensia hard; in the book, she's a constant presence, as we learn how she suffers and slowly recovers from being bitten by Gaul's snake mutt. In the film, she disappears after the scene where she is bitten, [[UncertainDoom and is never seen again]].
* DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the book, Wovey and Reaper are both killed by the water puddle that has been poisoned by Lucy Gray's rat poison. In the film, both are killed by the snake mutts, while the rat poison instead kills Treech (originally bitten by Lucy Gray's snake) and Dill (originally succumbing to tuberculosis).]]

* ImAHumanitarian: In the opening, Coriolanus and Tigris spot a man cutting up human remains to feed his family. While he is unidentified, book readers can deduce that this is Nero Price, the father of Persephone Price (Mizzen's mentor).
* AMinorKidroduction: The film opens with young Coriolanus and Tigris searching for food in war-torn Capitol during the Dark Days, briefly glimpsing [[ImAHumanitarian a man scavenging for human remains]], before returning home and being informed that Coriolanus' father has been killed by rebels.
