* The opening montage starts with [[BlackComedy horrific and hilarious sequences]], but as the song becomes more melancholy, so too does the content:
** Soccer Mom and Vanderohe attempt to rescue a couple trapped inside their car... only to find them both with bite-marks. Soccer Mom can only grimace as she mercy kills both, despite their pleas. Afterwards, she is seen drinking heavily.
** The hapless paratrooper getting DevouredByTheHorde as a result of poor planning. You can see the panic in his eyes as he wildly fires his gun, to no avail. And he was just one of many paratroopers who died that way.
