History Film / TheBananaSplitsMovie

* DropTheHammer: [[spoiler:How Drooper kills Rebecca.]]

* FoulBallPit: The final obstacle of the Sloppy Time obstacle course. [[spoiler: [[DropTheHammer Also is Rebecca's final resting place courtesy of Drooper.]]]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Harley is very immature for his age, is always "in his own little world" according to his brother, believes in fairies, only has one friend (possibly two by the end), and is seen as weird by the other kids in school.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:So, Beth finds out that Mitch has been cheating on her with his assistant, and not only that, but he's been nothing but smug and dismissive to their children and when confronted on his infidelity, acts like the affair was all Beth's fault because she wasn't paying enough attention to him. So, when Mitch returns to her at the end of the movie declaring that he still loves her, what does Beth do? What any sane person would: she punches his lights out and declares that she wants a divorce]].

----

** [[spoiler:The extendable wand Austin gives Harley for his birthday is used to take out Drooper at the end.]]

* CreateYourOwnVillain: Andy deciding to spitefully cancel the show causes the Splits to turn both against him and the rest of the production team.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: InUniverse example. The survivors find the plans for an unfinished character in Karl's workshop. According to him, it was to be a female owl named Hooty.

* AssholeVictim: Stevie, Mitch and Andy. In fact, most of people whose deaths we see are justified by them being total dicks ([[spoiler:Thadd being the most notable exception]]).

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Almost all deaths from the hands of the Splits are particularly painful and gruesome.

* HiddenDepths: Early in the movie, Austin seems to be kind of a LazyBum not doing much with his life at 19. Over the course of the movie he's shown to be very perceptive and one of the most likable characters of the film such as getting his brother backstage privileges at the show and being the angriest at Mitch's infidelity.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: They don't interact much, but Beth and Poppy do qualify. The former is a TankTopTomboy who is persistent in fighting the Splits, while the latter is shown to be much more perky (at least before [[spoiler:Thadd's death]]) and sensitive.

* OffModel: The costumes used for the Splits are different than that of the original series. Most visibly, Fleegle isn't as furry as he is in the original.

* LightmareFuel: While the horror is played straight, the ridiculousness of the premise itself and dashes of BlackComedy make for a movie that's as genuinely scary as it is twistedly funny.

* TakeThat: Andy seems to be one to network executives who cancel good shows for seemingly no reason even if they're doing well, considering his sole reason for canceling the ''Banana Splits'' show is his desire to do something "cool and edgy". [[spoiler:You won’t feel sorry for him when he becomes the Splits' final victim as they tear him limb from limb.]]

* RantInducingSlight: Stevie smugly rubs it in the Splits' faces how their show is canceled, but what finally sets Drooper off is when he rudely spits alcohol in his face.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The children are saved, Austin and Paige are starting a relationship, and the Banana Splits have been destroyed. However, much of the main cast is still dead [[AssholeVictim (Though admittedly, some really had it coming)]] and poor Poppy has been driven insane from the traumatic events that happened, she then drives off with the remains of the Banana Splits [[NotQuiteDead who all may not be out of commission after all.]]]]

* {{Expy}}: If this movie was inspired by “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, Karl seems to be one for William Afton.
