* InstantTurnOff: One of the characters has been watching porn on his little brothers laptop for the sake of revenge. Along the way he comes across this porn star who he feels a deep connection with, towards the end of the film his Mom comes in wearing the same outfit as the porn star was earlier. He realizes that he has most likely been jacking off to his Mom, goes into shock and tries to [[GroinAttack rip off his own penis]], months later he has lost his ability to walk and is only capable of endlessly repeating the words ''[[MadnessMantra "I'm sorry"]]''.

* MissingTrailerScene: Several. The trailer shows more footage of ''The Catch'' (see above), as well as an entirely new scene involving a man motorboating a dead woman's breasts in the morgue (cut out from the film but occasionally shown at film festivals, director doesn't show it much anymore after Anton Yelchen's death)
* NoEnding: "The Pitch", which is the closest thing this film has to an actual plot, ends with [[spoiler:the whole thing turning out to just be a movie being made when a SpecialEffectsFailure occurs. The story itself gets no actual conclusion.]]

* AfterTheEnd: In the international release, [[spoiler:uncovering Movie 43 causes the detonation of various Cold War-era nuclear weapons, turning the world into a wasteland]].


Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: In the international version, the framing device is originally supposed to be a distraction while one of the older brothers revenge-pranks the youngest by taking their laptop and infecting it with viruses from porn sites. In the end, those viruses [[spoiler:thwart their last-minute attempt to stop the apocalypse their search for Movie 43 caused.]]


Added DiffLines:

** "The Thread" from the international release also doesn't have a noteworthy conclusion; instead, [[spoiler:the world ends, one of the surviving older brothers finds the youngest's laptop and can't reset the world so instead watches the second-last skit, and then the credits roll (with "Beezel" interrupting them midway)]].


Added DiffLines:

* YouCantFightFate: In "The Thread", [[spoiler:the titular Movie 43 is actually a message from AfterTheEnd by the youngest brother, about how their searching for Movie 43 is about to trigger the end of the world. Which ends, because the older brothers' main motivation for finding Movie 43 in the first place was to distract the youngest while they ruin his laptop, the only thing that could've possibly prevented the apocalypse.]]

** ''Every single'' skit in the film is extremely vulgar and offensive in some way or another. Among all of them, arguably every trait of R-rated raunchiness is in here somewhere and used to its full potential.
