Our Werebeasts Are Different
 Howling III: The Marsupials / int_2f41cac1
comment
Our Werebeasts Are Different: Features were-thylacines. Thylacines are an extinct marsupial predator more commonly known as the Tasmanian Tiger. They're portrayed as quite sympathetic, but also more disgusting than standard werewolves when it comes to bodily functions. For one thing, they have pouches, even in otherwise fully human form.

Standalone Episode
 Howling III: The Marsupials / int_41076d1
comment
Standalone Episode: Whereas II follows directly on from the first film, and the following four sequels are revealed to form a Broad Strokes continuity in New Moon Rising, this entry is completely divorced any of the other films. However, there is a possible stealth reference to the original movie (and by extension the second film) when Olga is asked about the locations of other werewolves, she responds "Africa... China... Maybe California." The original film took place in California. II started there and moved to Transylvania.

Logo Joke: The intro replaced the lion roar of the MGM logo with a quick film clip of a thylacine roaring.

Spell My Name With An S: The film is largely known as Howling III and its posters call it Howling III: The Marsupials, but its actual onscreen title is The Marsupials: The Howling III.

Wonderful Werewolf
 Howling III: The Marsupials / int_95a7e10
comment
Wonderful Werewolf; For the most part it seems that the were-thylacines are not aggressive towards humans except out of self-defense or defense of fellow lycanthropes due to humanity’s Fantastic Racism towards them and they simply want to be left alone, ultimately they are even able to begin integrating into society when they are given amnesty by the American government and the Catholic Church.

Mood Dissonance
 Howling III: The Marsupials / int_a7f4710f
comment
Mood Dissonance: Word of God says it's a comedy, but the tone makes it not clear if this is supposed to be a comedy, a horror, or a Green Aesop about not hunting animals to extinction. According to the director, it's all of them and none of them.

Take That!
 Howling III: The Marsupials / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: The film was a direct response by director Philippe Mora to the second film, which was heavily recut without his input during post-production. Mora produced the film himself and kept the production inside his native Australia in order to maintain complete creative control.

Land Downunder: Takes place in Australia, but what really makes it an example is that it features people transforming into Tasmanian Tigers instead of Wolves.

Show Within a Show: There are two. Donny is acting in a horror film called The Shapershifters Part 8. He wants Jerboa to join the cast, but she's never seen a horror film before, so he takes her to a B-movie called It Came from Uranus.

Our Werewolves Are Different
 Howling III: The Marsupials / int_f8b3fa5d
comment
Our Werewolves Are Different: We are introduced to werethylacines. The movie also implies that the therianthropes of that reality are akin to the wolves in Wolf's Rain, as they've evolved to become human to survive human persecution of their baser species (the wolves in Russia, thylacines in Australia). What makes that especially weird is that, despite being ten a penny in the rest of the world, shapeshifting myths are completely unknown in Australia.
