** Peter and Judy's motivation for playing the game is to "make it all go away" before their aunt gets back and sees the house wrecked. No one, least of all them, realizes that, given that they're playing a game decades old, [[spoiler:"it all" includes them. Luckily they're still part of history, with the now in-the-know Alan and Sarah there in the present day to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong stop their parents from leaving for the vacation they died on]].]]
** Also PlayedForLaughs when, right before she sees the stampede and has a monkey [[DangerTakesABackSeat in the back seat]] make her car crash, Aunt Nora is listening to a self-help book on tape: "And remember, circumstances are never ever out of your control."

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When taking the sequels made in the late 2010s into account; despite it's share of funny moments the first movie has a considerably darker tone and far more matured themes (Alan's father commiting suicide in the backstory after being accused of killing his son, and the ''whole town'' going to hell for starters). The sequels are far more light-hearted with more focus on action. It's also the only movie in the trilogy where elements from the game escapes into the ''real'' world, in later movies it's the other way around.
