* ApocalypseAnarchy: Parodied: at the climax, where all of the guests are scared out of their minds because they now know there is a killer in the island [[spoiler:thanks to Sam dangling all of the hosts' corpses on the dance hall]], the whole group riots and does such things as have sex while wearing calamari costumes.



* ClosedCircle: One of the first things the killer does once the spree begins is to steal the two dinghies that are used to transport guests to the island and smash the radio.

* ChekhovsGag: Penelope's gymnastic training is only showcased once when she does a stunt to get in bed with Juan before having sex with him and then doesn't figures out in any way in the plot until the climax when the hosts must jump off a cliff to get to a boat and when Penelope does so she pulls a perfect reverse twist.

[[spoiler:The man never appears.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Juan continuously mispronounces Penelope's name as "Peenalop" throughout the whole movie.

* OpenSecret: [[spoiler: Putnam thinks Dave is the killer when he reveals to everyone that Dave's parents were trampled to death at a Coconut Pete concert, and not only is Pete Dave's uncle but Dave is likely to inherit the island once Pete dies. This is meant to be seen as a major revelation... except Jenny tells Putnam that ''everyone'' knew about Dave's parents and his relationship to Pete and chastises him for his lack of tact. And Dave acquired the rights to the island days before people began dying, so it wouldn't have mattered if Pete was dead or not.]]

Added DiffLines:

* WordSaladLyrics: The Coconut Pete song "Naughty Cal", which actually factors into the plot: The murders initially seem to be based off the song, but the lyrics are so nonsensical that trying to use them to figure out the killer's next move proves impossible. When asked about what the song means, Pete says that he was on so many drugs at the time that he doesn't even remember writing it.
