Heather says it tastes like Dr. Pepper, so it might just be Dr. Pepper sold under an exotic name. Vicki pointedly requests Coca-Cola rather than whatever Bronco Cola is.

* CallBack: The film establishes how Jack lost his eye, became an undead monster, acquired his hearse, and got his skull mask, all established to be characteristics in the first film.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Vicki just happens to overhear the mother of two of Jack's victims talking about him at Bronco Billy's.

* JustFriends: John Paul and his friends from college are two guys and two girls who are very physically close yet seem to have no romantic interest in each other. No one accepts Denver's invitation to dance with her. Later, when leaving to go to Bronco Billy's, Pam slaps Ned's butt playfully. Later still, John Paul, Pam and Ned all nap together on the same bed, their arms draped across each other like children, with no hint of sexual undertones.
