- Abusive Parents: As stated in the summary, Blake's mother tries to kill her for her life insurance money.
- Insurance Fraud: Blake's mother wants to kill her during The Purge and collect her life insurance money. The legality of this move is unclear because while it would be perfectly legal to kill her on Purge Night, it's never made clear if you could collect insurance on that.

- Original Character: As well as canon characters (Leo Barnes, Charlie Roan, The Polite Leader and Big Daddy) there are characters in this film that are new to the franchise that are created for the film, like the protagonist and her family.
