* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:Mack and Brady forgetting each other]] initially leads viewers to believe that [[spoiler:Lela and Tanner didn't make it back to their world, which meant Wet Side Story never existed, so Mack and Brady never wound up meeting each other.]] However, [[spoiler:while it's true that Wet Side Story ceased to exist, it isn't because Lela and Tanner failed to make it back, but because after Lela made it back, she became the NEW star, effectively changing the movie, and subsequently changing history in the real world.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: Butchy is fiercely protective of his little sister Lela.



** The first movie has "Surf's Up" which is sung after Mack and Brady return home and Mack finalizes with her Aunt that she wouldn't going away to boarding school.

Added DiffLines:

* TheHeart: Lela is a very [[NiceGirl sweet, friendly, and kind-hearted girl]] who doesn't bear any ill will to the surfers she's supposed to have a rivalry with. In Wet Side Story, it's her role, along with Tanner, to unite the rivaling gangs. [[spoiler:And even when the plot had been derailed thanks to the interference of Mack and Brady, she's still able to end up accomplishing this.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Brady finds Seacat playing a game where he shoots at some [[VideoGame/AngryBirds "angry birds"]] with a slingshot. Brady is amused at this unintentional reference.
* SmarterThanYouLook: [[spoiler: Despite his lack of interest in college, Brady of all people demonstrates a profound understanding of engineering, being able to fashion surfboards with built-in motors, [[ChekhovsGun which ends up coming in handy during the final act.]]]]

** "Surf Crazy" has a roll call sequence eerily reminiscent of "[[Film/{{Hairspray}} The Nicest Kids in Town]]". Coincidentally, ''Hairspray'' also took place in the 60's.

* AnachronismStew: The movie is set in 1962, but many of the costumes and aesthetics hark back to the 1950s, even the song Cruisin For A Bruisin is a {{rockabilly}} song.

* AmbiguousEnding: If the idea that the ending of the second movie where [[spoiler:Mac and Brady's history is rewritten is a WhatIf scenario that doesn't actually effect the main timeline of the films]], it leads to the idea that while [[spoiler:the actual Mac and Brady still have problems with their relationship, they care about each other that much that they'll continue working through them no matter what]].

* MagicalProfanityFilter: Alluded to in the second film. During the song "Silver Screen", Brady and Mack are telling Leia and Tanner about all the benefits of living in their movie universe rather than the real world, one of which includes automatically-bleeped swear words. As the first movie made it clear that there is some sort of magic going on to make things conform to the movie's reality, it's implied that this is literally the case for characters in the movieverse.
