* ShareTheMalePain: A subtle example, but when Malachite forces the Critic to GroinAttack himself, the guys in the background can be seen wincing and cringing.

** There's a [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic rather epic score]] that plays whenever the Cloaks arrive.

** Played straight with the second rousing speech given by the Critic before the final showdown with Jaffers' group.

* AndShowItToYou: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny "Dude, that's my heart."]]

** Instead of actual [[LordOfTheRings Elvish]], the Nostalgia Chick speaks [[GratuitousForeignLanguage a mixture of several foreign languages]], such as Hindi and Irish. What she's actually saying doesn't match up to the subtitles. For instance, when she says "Póg mo thóin" (Irish) in response to Benzaie's Conan speech, it's subtitled as "It's cool," but she's actually saying "Kiss my ass."

*** Also averted whenever she attacks with an Elvish Montage, at which point she starts spouting pure gibberish or quoting things. Though one of those included a a line from a song in {{Slumdog Millionaire}}.
** {{MarzGurl}} is speaking real and (sort of) accurate Japanese.

** Spoony brings two characters of his ''{{Ultima}}'' reviews (Gandalf and the Gate Cleaner).

** [[spoiler:LordKat]] as [[ConanTheBarbarian Crom]].

* CareBearStare /ThePowerOfFriendship: [[spoiler:As Malachite and Ma-Ti get stuck in their BeamOWar, the whole team starts cheering and chanting "HEART!". It really pushes Ma-Ti forward.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: ToddInTheShadows as [[Film/ThePrincessBride The Man In Black]]. Played straight with [[spoiler: the Cloaks]] who just want to keep Malachite away from the gauntlet. Played with for the [[spoiler: Witch Warrior]] who seems rather nice and [[spoiler: wants to stop Malachite]] but who also was planning on killing Team A and drinking from their bleeding skulls.

* [[KlaatuBaradaNikto Klaatu Barada Necktie]]

** There's a [[CrowningMusicofAwesome rather epic score]] that plays whenever the Cloaks arrive.

* [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It Reviewers]]: [[spoiler: All the reviewers accomplished was to defeat the gauntlet's guardians and lead Malachite to the gauntlet. Without Ma-Ti's HeroicSacrifice, Malachite would have destroyed the world.]]

** Todd [[spoiler:cremating Ma-Ti.]] Both acknowledged as such by the Critic and Todd remarking that the others would probably be better off not knowing the details.

** After getting the magic gem back, [[spoiler:Malachite]] shows up in homage to the [[TheLordOfTheRings Battle of Pellenor Fields.]]

* TheOner: The reviewers cross a field, all in one shot. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the Nostalgia Critic as being solely done for the [[TrailersAlwaysLie trailer]].

* PlayingToTheFetishes: Lampshaded by the Spoony cast commentary. Bennett says that Lupa pulling the Critic's tie and shouting at him that he'll be a lady and like it will inspire millions of fic about forced feminization.
** Turned out to be a bad thing in Rob's eyes, as he complains in the WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee commentary that Doug basically wanting to rock a mini-skirt detracted from the Malachite/Ma-Ti drama.

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "What do you think of the 21st century?"

* SequelEscalation: It's longer than ''{{Kickassia}}'', there are more characters including several surprise cameos, there are more fight scenes, more (and better) special effect scenes, and an epic fantasy quest complete with a BigBad that wants to destroy the world along with a magical {{Macguffin}} to track down.

* SmallReferencePools: Parodied with Bill's description of Malachite's outfit: ''[[TheMatrix Matrix]]'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''MatrixReloaded''.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: "Cat" is obviously a puppet. [[spoiler:Justified when Cat turns out to be a ''in-universe'' puppet.]]

** [[CaptainPlanet Ma-Ti]] keeps desperately trying to join their quest, but Nostalgia Critic won't let him join. It's not that his power is completely pathetic, not at all...[[BlatantLies it's just that Nostalgia Chick has lost her contact lens, and he needs to find it]].

* YouDontWantToKnow: [[spoiler: At Ma-Ti's funeral, Critic thanks Todd for cremating Ma-Ti following it would be best if he didn't tell them how or why. Todd agrees with this.]]

* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler: Suede]], but [[JustifiedTrope then again]], everyone was happy to see [[spoiler: him]], and vice-versa, so [[spoiler: he]] just basically let them win so they could [[spoiler: catch up on old times.]]

* FoeYay: Film Brain and Luke Mochrie. Despite having spent the previous three parts fighting over the Critic's affections, they spend a significant portion of Part 4 holding hands. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Doing so to speak to a mystical stone phantom, perhaps, but holding hands nonetheless.]] After Part 5, they start getting along.

* OneSceneWonder: The girl using a cellphone [[spoiler:who Malachite kills]] (played by one of Doug's ex-girlfriends) got quite some attention from the fandom, ever since her ''one second'' appearance in the trailer.
-->'''Doug in the DVDCommentary:''' To answer the two most frequent questions I get, yes, I am aware she looks like KirstenDunst, and no, she is not available. She's married now. So... ya' missed it. Sorry.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
** An 8-bit version of the ''IndianaJones'' theme plays when the Cinema Snob shows off his costume. Obviously, the original is copyrighted and a production team of this budget would never be able to acquire the rights to use it.
*** An orchestrated version pops up during his parts in the big fight scene.

* CanYouHearMeNow: When the Critic's group tries to call Spoony's group in episode 5, they find they can't get a connection. Obscurus Lupa and Linkara suggests that someone may be using magic to block the call.

** In regards to LivTyler's portrayal of Arwen via Nostalgia Chick.

* MagicVersusScience: [[spoiler:In the back story, the alchemist Aeon and the sorcerer Malachite fought a mortal battle to determine whose research would receive their king's support. Aeon won resulting in today's technological world, while magic gradually disappeared. Because using magic too much drains your life line, Malachite did not use use his powers until the 1980's, which resulted in him living for tons of centuries. He is currently trying to find his gauntlet, which Aeon took and buried after their battle, so that he can destroy the science-filled world he hates.]]
* MagicSkirt: Averted when The Critic, wearing a long fantasy tunic with no leggings, sits down on a chair. Much to everyone's dismay.

* ThrowItIn: Spoony repeatedly losing his hat and being forced to run back for it wasn't actually scripted, but was so funny they decided to keep it in the film.

** FilmBrain calling Luke a "''twot''" for pretending to be British, referring back to Linkara's infamous mispronounciation of the British swear-word "''twat''".

** Malachite has a smartphone. He's promptly called out on this and he flat out denies that it's technology.

** When Malachite rants about TV shows in part five, his tone gets even more hateful when he gets to ''{{Glee}}''.

* NamesTheSame: Thanks to this, some who aren't aware of the film ''{{Willow}}'' thought Handsome Tom was playing [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer a certain other red-haired character named Willow]].

* RecognitionFailure: KingArthur, {{Willow}}, [[Film/TheNeverEndingStory the Rockbiter]]... and ToddInTheShadows, who at first thinks they weren't recognizing the [[Film/ThePrincessBride Dread Pirate Roberts]]. Film Brain suffers from this [[ButtMonkey before he even puts a costume on]].

* TheUnexpected: One of the guardians is [[spoiler: ThatDudeInTheSuede]].

* NamesTheSame: Thanks to this, some who aren't aware of the film ''{{Willow}}'' thought Handsome Tom was playing [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer a certain other red-haired character named Willow]].

* MrFanservice: Critic and Benzaie due to the {{stripperific}} nature of their costumes and JewWario for playing a [[invoked]] MemeticSexGod. With the weather being the way it was, the former two regretted wearing so little.

* WhereItAllBegan: [[spoiler:Malachite's Hand is actually buried in the exact field where the team started their quest, inside the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome Storm Drain of Secrets]]]].

* DarkIsEvil: Everything about [[spoiler:Malachite's]] outfit is black- his NiceHat, his BadassLongcoat, even his BlackEyesOfEvil. [[spoiler: The rather less-evil people in Jaffer's crew]] are all wearing black as well, with the majority doning black masks.

** [[spoiler: The extras make it more of a DownerEnding. Malachite is still alive (if powerless), the quest for the Necronomicon failed and left Critic in even more denial of Ma-Ti's death, Mechakara has found the glove and Doug said in an interview that Bhargav had gone from the site never to return.]]

* RunningGag: Several
** Angry Joe constantly screwing up the "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya." line by forgetting that the line was referring to Montoya's father, and not his [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking brother/mother/lawyer/hamster]]; only to be corrected by someone else. [[spoiler:Taken to the logical extreme in Part 7, when Joe refers to himself as "Amigo Toyota" (but does get the "father" part right), and everyone else just faceplams in the background]].
*** This winds up generating a fan (And cast) favorite line out of The Cinema Snob in episode 6
--> '''Angry Joe:''' Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my hamster.\\
'''Todd:''' FATHER!\\
'''Cinema Snob:''' "[[BerserkButton That's not even a PERSON!]]"
** Spoony losing and promptly running back to retrieve his hat. Seemingly ended as of Part 3, abandoning it after being blasted off during his YouShallNotPass attempt.
*** The running gag wasn't even intentional. Spoony just, genuinely, and unscriptedly, kept losing his hat, realising it was gone and going back to get it. They just decided to keep it in the final product. That doesn't stop it from being hilarious, though.
** The Critic stopping Ma-Ti from joining the adventure with increasingly ridiculous {{Snipe Hunt}}s.
** Linkara trying to get everyone else to sing with him.
** The Critic saying how there's no such thing as magic and Linkara getting pissed off.
** "I'm Willow."
** In the commentaries, referring to how baity they're being: "And a million fanfics were written."
** In regards to the previous anniversary specials, the [[ClusterFBomb back-and-forth "Fuck you!"]] returns once again, this time between Angry Joe and the Voice of the Ancient World.

* BigNo: Angry Joe and Spoony both do this upon learning the "free car" was a ruse, Joe with a Cluster Big No and Spoony with a single extended one. It's implied that the rest of the reviewers each made one as well when they happened upon the truth about the "free car."
