* AuthorsSavingThrow: A common criticism of the whole Purge idea that's often brought up is that most human beings, handed a free lawless night, would choose wild, drug-fueled parties and orgies -- if anything at all -- over a casual murder spree. This becomes a key plot point here; the idea of the Purge as a night of murder had to be promoted by the government by way of secretly unleashing mercenaries onto the island to cause chaos, as most people did, in fact, choose either the drugs and orgies or staying home over killing people.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one time, Nya and Isaiah were held at gunpoint by some random purger. This purger turned out to be a prankster who is really holding a water gun and sprays them with water before running away laughing maniacally. Also a [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome low-key moment of realism]]: Not all purgers are violent maniacs. If it had not been for the NFFA's intervention to dramatically turn up the violence, many purgers would be engaging in hedonistic acts, or in the case of Nya and Isaiah's encounter, mean-spirited pranks.

* MagnificentBastard: [[NobleDemon Dmitri Cimber]] is a crime lord who runs his Staten Island empire with an iron fist. When his attempt at staying home for the night of the Purge is interrupted by two assassins, Dmitri [[AssassinOutclassin fights them off]] to learn who sent them. When he learns it was one of his own men, Dmitri executes everyone involved before coming into conflict with the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA). Upon learning that the NFFA intend to kill as many people as they can in the Purge, Dmitri arms his gang and takes the fight to them, taking out legions of their soldiers despite being outgunned. Even when his gang is killed and he's left alone, he simply [[OneManArmy takes on everyone himself]] with a variety of tactics, managing to defeat all of the mercy sent to destroy his community before the night is over. After surviving the night, Dmitri [[BigGood founds the Anti-Purge Resistance]], ensuring the fight continues for the next two decades.

* ''Film/TheFirstPurge'': CompleteMonsterCompleteMonster: [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Arlo Sabian]], Chief of Staff of the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA)]], is the GreaterScopeVillain of the entire franchise. Having pushed the idea of the Purge through Congress, Sabian oversees the social experiment on Staten Island with the help of Dr. May Updale, manipulating the impoverished communities into staying by offering them money and even more payment if they participate. Frustrated at the lack of purging, Sabian floods the streets with bloodthirsty death squads that specifically target not only [[KillThePoor the lower-income neighborhoods]] but also crowded locations, slaughtering everything from block parties to churches and apartment buildings. When Dr. Updale uncovers the truth behind the sudden rise in violent crimes, Sabian [[HeKnowsTooMuch has her executed]] and sends in attack drones to eliminate the local resistance. With the experimental Purge being deemed a success and the NFFA saved from a disaster that could crumble their newly-installed government, Sabian's dirty methods not only allowed them to fully establish their totalitarian regime around the country but also ensured that the Purge became an annual event for the several years to come.

* NightmareFuel: While this movie is as narmy as the previous titles in the series, the scene where Nya is almost pulled down to the sewers by a psycho wearing a crying baby doll on his face to rape her is easily the scariest part of this movie. Though, it quickly turns back into pure narm by her calling her attacker a "pussy-grabber".

* HilariousInHindsight: After the first movie came out, people on the internet have been pointing out that, given a night free from laws of any kind, they would be doing relatively [[PokeThePoodle minor]] crimes -- if anything, the most illegal things they'd partake in would be drug-fueled parties and orgies. Then came this film, which showed that this was basically everyone else's initial response, too.
