Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Ticks / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Sir tries to hold the group hostage. While this was possible when he had Jerry and a high powered shotgun, when he's battered, having a Villainous Breakdown, and only has a small pistol left, the group takes advantage of the first change the get, pin him down, disarm, and stab him. Taking your eyes off a group that completely outnumber you and fully know you want to kill them anyway is just asking for this to happen. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Ticks / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: For a good chunk of the movie, Charles is an irresponsible jerk who snaps at the kids, leaves them unsupervised and often behaves like he doesn't even want to deal with them despite the fact that he's supposed to be in charge. Ultimately, however, he does fight hard to keep them alive once the danger has been made clear. | |

Mutants: The killer ticks were mutated by run off from a marijuana farmer's steroid experiments. The one whose head burrowed into Panic's body is further mutated by steroids he takes to try and dull the pain from a gunshot, becoming a gigantic beast. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Sir’s attempt to get the van to leave everyone else behind backfires when it takes Jerry out entirely, leading to a chain of events that leads directly to his death. Sir does this to himself multiple times over, since what ultimately does him in is a super-mutant tick that was mutated by steroids in his own illegal weed farm and further mutated due to Panic’s steroids he took to dull the pain of a gunshot Sir inflicted on him. | |
