4 | |
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]]. |
