* {{Fanon}}: [[invoked]] Because ''Last Action Hero'' kept the details of the other ''Jack Slater'' films vague, Kara invents the plot for ''Jack Slater 2''. In her head, Jack went up against a disgruntled children's television host, spurned by the child audience that had abandoned him, and at one point Jack teams up with the cartoon cat, [[TomatoSurprise only for it to turn out those scenes never actually happened]] ([[MindScrew even though later movies confirms Whiskers was real]]).

* ForWantOfANail:
** Unlike the movie, it takes longer for Danny to enter ''Jack Slater IV'' (when Jack is getting assigned a partner, rather than in the middle of the opening chase). As such, the rabbi (who is given the name Jacob Lagget) not only becomes Jack's partner, but (because of Danny [[InSpiteOfANail taking part in Jack's investigation]]) effectively becomes the third main character.
** Due to a Crit Fail on Lisa’s part, Jack winds up blowing up Benedict’s car after the shootout at his apartment, [[DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation thus resulting in his death]].
*** In response, Kara, Paulo and Lisa then discuss how the trope was also in effect in the film, as how Benedict only became the BigBad due to Danny’s direct involvement in the plot, resulting in Benedict escaping into the real world.

** Understandably, seeing Jack Slater ''execute a subdued criminal in cold blood'' in the closing minutes of ''Jack Slater IV'' forces Danny to re-examine his feelings on his (now former) idol.



* MoodWhiplash: Thanks to the influence of the ticket, the climax of ''Jack Slater IV'' goes from Vivaldi [[CurbStompBattle being swiftly taken out]] [[MediumBlending after being taken into]] [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner a Road Runner cartoon]]... [[SuddenDownerEnding to Rabbi Jacob getting shot in the police station, and Jack deciding to execute a subdued criminal]].



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Danny gives one to ''Wile E. Coyote'' of all people for always failing to catch the Roadrunner.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[invoked]] Discussed: When Jack and Candice wind up having sex, Lisa points out this is pushing the boundaries of a PG-13 movie, with Kara managing to argue that it would be allowed if [[ModestyBedsheet "L-shaped blankets"]] are at play, and nothing is ''shown''.

* VitriolicBestBuds: A two-layered example: As opposed to the movie, Danny is a lot more mean towards Nick, something Kara attributes to the fact that ''Paulo'' is playing him.

* RetiredBadass: Nick agrees to arm himself with a baseball bat and take on the criminal in Danny's apartment, even though the latter already called the police. (Danny thinks that they're just wimps anyway [[RatedMForManly compared to Jack Slater.]]) It's also noted that Nick claims to have not killed anybody [[UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 since 1945.]]

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: InUniverse. Lagget’s BoringButPractical advice — [[WrongGenreSavvy which would be reasonable in a real police investigation, but perhaps not in an over-the-top action flick]] — leads to Jack dismissing him as an inexperienced rookie, while Danny thinks he’s pretty lame.

** Downplayed: During that same discussion, Kara also calls attention to the fact her performance of Rabbi Jacob amounted to [[NWordPrivileges a bunch of Jewish jokes]] that were "30% as funny" in hindsight.
--->'''Kara''': It's not antisemitic, it's just unfunny. [[DelayedReaction (starts to realize what she said)]] It's a really important distinct- [[{{corpsing}} (breaks)]]


Added DiffLines:

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Unintentionally: On more than one occasion during Part 3, the present year of the campaign is accidentally said to be 1995 instead of 1993, meaning there was a two-year game in-universe as well as out of it. Lisa corrects it before the episode ends.
