5	----
6	!!This film has the examples of:
7
8	* BewareOfHitchhikingGhosts: Played with at the very end; Tarman is seen holding a sign trying to hitchhike a ride to the rave on a highway. A couple actually stops and screams when they see he's a zombie. Frustrated, Tarman drops the sign and decides to walk.
9	* DeusExNukina: The government actually tries this maneuver ''again''. Thankfully though, it works this time, albeit only because the Tryoxin-5 zombies are weaker than the zombies from the first three movies and because the virus did not become airborne in the aftermath.
10	* DrugsAreBad: In ''Rave to the Grave'', a bunch of college students cook up a recreational drug based on Tryoxin-5. Three guesses what the side effects are, and the first two don't count.
11	* IncongruouslyDressedZombie: Several zombies in this movie wear distinct outfits that make them stand out. Notable examples include a zombie dressed as a clown, a zombie dressed as a jester, a zombie dressed in a demon costume, a female zombie wearing a circus dancer costume, a female zombie with her long hair in ponytail wearing a warrior princess costume, a zombie wearing a cowboy costume, a zombie dressed in a disco dancer costume, a zombie dressed up in a medieval monk costume, a zombie wearing a knight costume, etc.
12	* JackUpWithPhlebotinum: Kids in raves gulp down pills of what they think is a rave drug like Ecstasy, but it is actually Tryoxin-5, the chemical phlebotinum from the movies that turns people into zombies.
13	* MuggedForDisguise: To infiltrate the rave, Aldo and Gino steal the costumes of two female partygoers. The costumes fit them perfectly, despite being adult men wearing outfits designed for female college students.
14	* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: Return of the Living Dead: ''Rave to the Grave''? Witty title, but still odd, especially because that title has more letters compared to other movie titles in the ROTLD series.
15	* OnlySaneMan: Julian and Jenny are wise enough to not mess with the Tryoxin-5 and actually test the chemical before doing anything that could lead to disaster.
16	* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:Cody dies saving Shelby, only for Shelby to be killed moments later]].
17	* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome:
18	** Uncle Charles, the human antagonist of ''[[Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadNecropolis Necropolis]]'', [[spoiler:is killed off in the opening scene]]. Also doubles as [[spoiler:DeadStarWalking]] due to him being portrayed by Creator/PeterCoyote, the biggest name in the cast.
19	** Becky, the female lead in ''Necropolis'', [[spoiler:also dies fairly early on, becoming a zombie and then killed prior to the climactic rave]].
20	* TooDumbToLive: Cody ''really'' should've listened to Julian and Jenny and left the Tryoxin-5 alone.
21	* VillainDecay:
22	** The new Tarman is subjected to this for the most part as he's reduced to the role of comic relief after a failed attack on the heroes. Ultimately, [[HeelFaceTurn he gives up trying to eat people]] and opts to party with them instead.
23	** Like in the [[Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadNecropolis previous movie]], the new Tryoxin-5 zombies are nowhere as durable as the 2-4-5 Trioxin zombies from the first three movies. Instead of being unstoppable juggernauts, these zombies don't even have to be shot in the head to bring them down as even a few rounds in the chest will do the job.
24	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Gino is never seen again after the police bomb the rave although his absence implies that he didn't make it]].
