History Film / VeronicaMars

** The celebrities listed with Bonnie [=DeVille=] (the name Carrie Bishop took for her singing career) in the sidebar for the TMZ transmission [[spoiler:after Cobb is arrested and Sheriff Dan Lamb's corruption is revealed]] are ''Veronica Mars'' guest stars Armie Hammer, Creator/JessicaChastain, Leighton Meester (about whom see also TheOtherDarrin in the Trivia tab), Creator/AaronPaul, Melissa Leo, and Creator/ParisHilton.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Dick gets a free pass for being involved in the boat death. He really did pass out before everything happened, thus letting him totally avoid the questions about not checking on the girl who eventually died, avoid not being woken up to dispose of the body with the anchor, not get photographed throwing the girl overboard, and not get blackmailed for 10 years.]] Not to mention [[spoiler:despite several others from the series getting the comeuppance they've long deserved, Dick still gets a free pass for drugging the drink that led to Veronica getting raped. By this point it really feels like Rob Thomas' affection for Ryan Hansen is affecting how the story should go.]]

* SelfDefenseRuse: ** Well-to-do [[RichBitch Celeste Kane]] is cornered and harassed by a group of bikers before Weevil (a former criminal who has turned his life around) arrives and chases them off. Celeste pulls a pistol and shoots Weevil (non-fatally) in her panic. This is then covered up for her by the [[DirtyCop corrupt Sheriff]], who plants a weapon on him. Sadly, this event causes Weevil to go back to crime.

* StalkerWithACrush: Ruby Jetson, otherwise known as onetime Neptune High classmate Della Pugh. She's implied to have had a long-term obsession with Carrie Bishop since high school. Her crush on Logan seems to simply be a desire to have what Carrie had.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Neptune County Sheriff ''Dan'' Lamb (played by Creator/JerryOConnell), big brother of [[spoiler:the late]] Don Lamb. He's basically the latter done right: Rob Thomas always envisioned Don Lamb as an irredeemably venal stooge for the well-off, but several sympathetic moments ([[DracoInLeatherPants and no doubt his looks]]) throughout the show led to Don acquiring a surprisingly large fanbase. Dan Lamb plays the part much straighter in TheFilmOfTheSeries.

* AbortedArc: The storylines that hung around the final episode are never discussed in the movie. Was Keith ever indicted for destroying evidence proving Veronica broke into the Caine house, among other things?

** Also, Veronica's [[OldShame sex tape,]] which gets edited into a video montage aired for the high school reunion.

* ThemeTuneCameo: At the beginning of the film, Veronica and Piz pass a street busker playing "We Used To Be Friends", the series' RealSongThemeTune. The original Dandy Warhols version plays over the end credits.

* SuddenlySexuality: [[spoiler:Luke.]]

''Veronica Mars'' is a 2014 crime thriller and [[BigDamnMovie a film continuation]] of [[Series/VeronicaMars the television series of the same name]]. The film is co-written and directed by series creator Rob Thomas, and reprising their roles are Creator/KristenBell, Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs III, Ryan Hansen, Francis Capra, Tina Majorino, Chris Lowell, Enrico Colantoni and a number of the supporting cast.

* TheWarOnTerror: Gets a passing mention, when one of the lawyers says they can use Logan's military career as leverage in the court of public opinion.

* BusCrash: [[spoiler:Carrie Bishop and Susan Knight]]. (Nothing to do with the actual bus crash from season 2.)

* SequelHook: [[spoiler:The whole "police corruption" subplot is left unresolved, with the implication that Veronica's mission going forward will be to try and clean up Neptune.]]

* ContinuityNod: When Veronica opens her box of PI gear, she finds her ID stash from Season 1's "[[{{Recap/VeronicaMarsS01E12ClashOfTheTritons}} Clash of the Tritons]]", including Lily's driver's license and the fake "Licensed Massage Therapist" ID.

* StatusQuoIsGod: By the end of the movie pretty much every single main character is back where they started at the end of Season 1. [[spoiler:Veronica? Back in Neptune, back as a PI. Weevil? back in leather, on his bike and in charge of some sort of PCH-like group. Wallace and Mac? Back as Veronica's main source of school related info and Veronica's IT department respectively. Logan and Veronica? Back together and yet not because he's off to fly jet's for 180 days. ]]

* CanonDiscontinuity: With the exception of Piz, nothing is mentioned of Season 3 (how Keith was facing charges for destroying evidence, or how Vinnie was to become sherrif). Probably for the best.

* DirtyCop: In the interrim the position of Sherrif has been taken by Don Lamb's older brother Dan. Keith notes that he's as lazy and incompetent as his little brother, but far more openly corrupt. While Don would prosecute even rich people if the evidence pointed to them, Dan hires himself out to the wealthy and affluent, doesn't even pretend to be interested in bringing justice and regularly plants evidence on suspects.

** [[spoiler:Deputy Sacks is murdered in a deliberate car crash shortly after he confesses to Keith about the rampant corruption in the sherrif's department.]]
