Sex, Drugs and Disco: According to Steve, every other disco club in town is involved in drug-dealing and filming pornography.

Mythology Gag: Emily and Crystal's car-ride on the way to the club looks similar to an episode of Midnight Screenings.

The Baby of the Bunch
 DISCO (2017) / int_2e77c628
comment
The Baby of the Bunch: Lana is youngest of the three and seems to be the one who constantly gets into trouble - usually involving drugs - and has Emily and Crystal bail her out if she ever gets into trouble. Crystal even says that their parents would let her get away with anything because of this.

Pity Sex: It turns out the reason why Emily even began to talk to Travis in the first place is because he looked like the kind of guy that has always been turned down and decided to give him a chance. Years later, they are married with a kid.

I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: Henrietta's plan is to kill Vince due to the enormous debt he does not intend to pay and make Lana pay them back through prostitution of pornographic films.

Stock Footage: The movie is plagued with classic Disco music and footage of seventies movies, no doubt the reason why it is unlikely the movie will ever get a release on DVD.

I Can't Dance
 DISCO (2017) / int_4db088ab
comment
I Can't Dance: Travis makes this very excuse to why he would not want to go to a club. Rudy can't either, but this doesn’t not stop him from enjoying himself. We eventually get to see a drunk Travis dance and it actually is pretty bad.

Everyone Has Standards: It is established by Rudy that people go to disco dance clubs to have fun and no one can really dance. Then Travis is drunkenly dancing so badly that everyone boos him off of the dance floor.

comment
Big Bad Wannabe: DJ Bobby's attempts at being the Disco Godfather fall-flat, whether it is threatening Vince or flirting with Emily, his wife Henrietta being the much more intimidating of the two. Granted, threatening Vince seems to work in his favor, but he finds it mildly exhausting and he still answers to Henrietta.

Deader Than Disco

Deader Than Disco: Discussed In-Universe. The reason why Starcrash is resorting to drug-dealing is because Disco as a genre is reaching its lowest in popularity, with every other dance-club in town resorting to drugs and filming pornography to get by.

Running Gag: In his efforts to build his confidence, Rudy tends to talk to people (usually asking them to dance) during a dramatic moment, causing the other person to tell him that his timing is awful.
