Moving Kill Count-specific examples to its own trivia subpage as per ATT thread.


* AscendedFanon: James confirmed, in response to a youtube comment, that his tethered counterpart from the ''Film/{{Us}}'' kill count is [[https://www.reddit.com/r/deadmeatjames/comments/qsr5ix/just_wanna_let_yall_know_i_have_officially/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 named Counter]].
* ColbertBump:
** Some of the movies James covers gain a rise in popularity; as shown by [[https://twitter.com/deadmeatjames/status/1212777830888509440 the aftermath of his review]] of ''[[Film/{{Society}} Society]]''.
** The same thing happened after he released his ''Film/WrongTurn 6'' Kill Count. Although, morbidly enough, the increase in attention occurred on [=PornHub=] due to the fact that the film has a heavy amount of incest.
* CreatorBacklash: In his Kill Count for ''Film/TheBelkoExperiment'', he makes a joke involving the phrase "pow wow". Upon being informed that it's an offensive term towards Native Americans, he posted a comment thanking people for calling him out and apologizing for using the phrase.
* DevelopmentHell:
** The kill count for ''Film/ReAnimator'' had to be censored drastically due to the heavy gore. The episode was released out of schedule (by 1 day) and could only be released with the last-minute help from some sponsors that would allow James to still be paid for his work.
** The kill count for ''Film/{{Candyman}}'' was delayed due to a copyright claim from Creator/SonyPictures, forcing James to upload a pre-made kill count for ''Film/{{Zombieland}}'' a day later to fill in the gap in his schedule. The video was eventually released a week later.
** The kill count for ''Film/ReadyOrNot'' was delayed due to a copyright claim as well, but the film's directors themselves were able to file an appeal and get the video out a day late.
** The kill count for ''Film/WillysWonderland'' is currently unreleased due to vague copyright issues surrounding the film lending the risk of the channel getting a copyright strike.
* ExiledFromContinuity: James has stated that he will not be covering ''Series/SquidGame'' on the channel. In particular, he cites legal reasons (getting in trouble with Netflix is not something he wants to do), as well as the fact that the series is in Korean. And while it does have an English dub, said dub is regarded as SoBadItsGood, and James wants people to be laughing at his jokes instead of the actors.[[invoked]]



* InMemoriam: The video on ''Film/ABucketOfBlood'' is dedicated to actor Dick Miller who passed away two weeks after his ''Film/ChoppingMall'' episode, a movie that featured Dick Miller. He even used the extended intro for this episode, including the "dead meat" in ''Chopping Mall''.
* MeaningfulReleaseDate: Several Kill Counts are released around the time a new installment comes out in a series (Such as with the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' Kill Counts tying in with ''Film/Halloween2018'') or a related holiday/event (''Film/JackFrost1997'' and its sequel were released in winter time, and the ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNight'' movies were released in the months leading up to Christmas).
* MissingEpisode:
** A block was made on the ''Film/TheThing2011'' Kill Count, but it was eventually cleared. The ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'' and ''Film/{{Predator}}'' Kill Count have been blocked too but were unblocked on September 26, 2018.
** Since it wasn't until the fifth episode, "Would You Rather", that the podcast started regularly uploading to the Dead Meat [=YouTube=] channel, the first four episodes of the podcast (including reviews on ''Film/{{Wishmaster}}'' and ''Film/{{Phantasm}}'') are missing from the channel.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: James has occasionally run into copyright claims on his videos despite them being covered under "Fair Use" which can lead to either delays in release of those videos or re-uploads to try and remove the claimed content.
** The kill count for ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'' ran into this with James' inclusion of the iconic title track. Since the script relied on the viewer having just heard the theme at certain moments, when the video was re-uploaded James got around this by playing the song using a saxophone.
** The kill count for ''Film/TrainToBusan'' ended up getting James his first copyright strike, meaning the video got taken down. This also meant that the Kill Count for the sequel ''Film/{{Peninsula}}'' had to be scrapped for the time being due to fear of a second strike.
* TroubledProduction:
** The ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' Kill Counts were plagued by age restriction problems due to the large amount of gore in the series, which led to James having to tone down the content in the videos to the point of blurring out the carnage. Later problems with [=YouTube=]'s stricter policies towards gore led to James having to adopt it as standard practice for his videos.
** The kill count for ''Film/WillysWonderland'' was made, but has sat unreleased due to vague copyright issues surrounding the film lending the risk of the channel getting a copyright strike.
** The kill count for ''Film/TrainToBusan'' got a copyright strike not long after it got posted, meaning the video was taken down and James had to delay, if not scrap his kill count for the sequel, ''Film/{{Peninsula}}'' out of concern of it happening again. Thankfully, as of the 8th of August, 2021, the video was put back up and the copyright strike was removed. Whether this means ''Film/{{Peninsula}}'' will get its kill count going again remains to be seen.
** The Kill Counts for the ''Film/FearStreet'' Creator/{{Netflix}} trilogy, at least the first two films appears to suffer through copyright strikes. The first kill count ended up being blocked on WebSite/YouTube by Netflix, before being put back on a few weeks later. Then ''1978'' suffered the same fate, being blocked again.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** James originally planned on making a ''Thankskilling 3'' Kill Count for Thanksgiving in 2018. When he looked back at the film though, he decided against doing it as the film looked bad and has a majority of puppets that are killed. He has since been able to cover other Thanksgiving horror movies while avoiding that movie- that was, until 2021, when he finally worked up the nerve to cover it.
-->'''James:''' Fuck you, Turkie!
** For the channel's two year anniversary, James originally wanted to cover a slasher film called "Dead Meat", but upon watching it, found it to be a bit too much like a student film project to justify covering it.

Not Trivia.


* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When the videos first began, James had not yet developed his later personality and even his vocal delivery was in a deeper register. Early videos were also much shorter (7 minutes on average rather than 20+ minutes) and did much less to summarize the film, almost entirely focusing on the kills, with very little of the behind the scenes and background info later videos would become known for. He currently has a tentative plan to remake several of his earlier videos to make them look more like his current work, starting with his Franchise/FridayThe13th videos in August.
