* CueTheFlyingPigs: Used as an update of the ProphecyTwist: instead of "until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane", the prophecy is "when pigs fly". Cue a SWAT team in a helicopter coming to get Macbeth in the final act. "Pigs" is a slur for police officers in England, generally used by criminals, similar to "the Filth."

to:
* AFatherToHisMen: MacbethInitially Macbeth, as in the original play, but rather than lead them into battle against the Thane of Cawdor like in the original, here he shows his staff how to bloodlessly dissect a pig's head, a task that one would expect to be gruesome but which can be done cleanly.

* ShirtlessScene: Macbeth
to:
* RuleOfSymbolism: Macduff stabs Macbeth with a carving knife and then swings him onto a kitchen worktop before stabbing him again, gutting him like one of his pigs, but with less respect.
* SanitySlippage: Both of the Macbeths, and as in the original Lady Macbeth gets hit with it the hardest.
* ShirtlessScene:MacbethMacbeth is a walking one of these.
* ShoutOut: The various shots of flies over garbage and references to pigs, combined with the story's original themes of fighting for power can be seen as references to Literature/LordOfTheFlies.
* VillainousBreakdown: Both Macbeth and his wife, as is tradition are hit hard with this as a result of going increasingly mad with guilt. Lady Macbeth starts prattling about her dead baby to everyone who'll listen, loses the ability to put on her makeup and ultimately jumps to her death in a skip. Macbeth by the time he has a knife fight with Macduff is yelling "PIGS ARE LANDING ON MY HEAD!" and screaming at Macduff to stab him in the throat.
