* TheDogBitesBack: After Zip sacrifices himself to shield Omar from the demon, Toad avenges him and turns against Mok by throwing him into the portal to Hell as Omar and Angel sing together to force the demon back into whence it came.
--->'''Toad:''' ''(vengefully)'' My brother is ''dead!''

* AnAesop:
** Too much pride is dangerous and will cause people to do terrible things. The BigBad Mok sees himself AboveGoodAndEvil and is so self-absorbed he believes anyone who does not enjoy his music deserves death. Omar meanwhile has a huge ego, desiring to be the center of attention and throwing tantrums when others get it, even when it is his girlfriend. Unlike Mok though, [[CharacterDevelopment Omar learns to be humble]] and realize he should share the spotlight with Angel to both better his career and especially save their relationship.
** Mok also demonstrates that someone who believes in GreyAndGreyMorality can be just as insane and ruthless as someone with BlackAndWhiteMorality.

* AnimationBump: Several times, most notably towards the start of the film when Angel sings her song (provided by the voice of [[{{Music/Blondie}} Debbie Harry]], no less). Her seductive movements with the microphone look noticeably rotoscoped. When Mok's ring starts flashing, [[spoiler:revealing that Angel's voice is the one that will open the portal to hell]], there's a heavily sexualised close-up on Angel's lips that looks practically live-action. Such smooth and fluid animation like this was fairly difficult to find [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation at the time]].

** The Demon itself is a highlight of this off-the-wall animation, [[PerpetuallyProtean given that for the moment lead up to it rising from the portal has it changing forms into increasingly surreal forms and base color every second]], vomiting out demonic infants at one point until it settles on an orange form of a blue-eyed obese demon.



* DontThinkFeel: Dizzy's advice to Omar, who, still hurt, angry and wounded over believing Angel threw him over for certain fame and sleeping with Mok to get it, refuses to rescue her. Dizzy knows Omar loves her, but is just too hurt and egotistical to let that affect his thinking.

* SealedEvilInAnotherWorld: TheVillain Mok succeeds in summoning a demon from another dimension through a pentagram in the stage floor. Fortunately, Omar and Angel are able to dispel the demon, and it retreats back to its home dimension. Mok ends up being tossed into the pentagram hole as well. He makes one desperate effort to crawl back out, baffled as to how his demon was defeated, before losing his grip and plummeting into the depths of the alternate dimension. Mok and his demon can play canasta there, perhaps.
