** Bill (Thomas Favaloro) intentionally grins and laughs like an idiot during the entire film, even mugging at Whitney Moore [[{{Corpsing}} to get her to laugh]] (she did). Reportedly, he wanted to see how much he could get away with (the answer: ''everything''.)

* DenserAndWackier: While the first film tried to be a serious horror story, this film goes for a campier tone with comedic moments and poking fun at the premise.

''Birdemic 2: The Resurrection'' is the sequel to James Nguyen's abysmal film, ''Film/{{Birdemic}}: Shock and Terror'', a film that is allegedly an [[InNameOnly homage]] to Creator/AlfredHitchcock's ''Film/TheBirds''. This film focuses on Rod's friend, Bill, who is an [[AuthorAppeal indie film director]] trying to make a film. Bill meets a girl in a restaurant, and he persuades her to audition for the lead role in the film, along with Rod's girlfriend Nathalie, who apparently now wants to be an actress, despite her previously very successful modelling career with Victoria's Secret. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Birds then proceed to attack them because of global warming.]]

Much like the first movie, ''Birdemic 2'' is absolutely terrible. The acting is equally wooden, the special effects are just as dreadful, the camera work is possibly even ''more'' abysmal than in the original and the soundtrack is awful. It's a pretty solid entry as a sequel, though the film seems to be a little more aware of what it is.

Much like the first movie, ''Birdemic 2'' is absolutely terrible. The acting is equally wooden, distinguishes itself from other sequels to famous SoBadItsGood films by attempting to feature self-referential humor about the special effects are just as dreadful, reception of the camera work is possibly even ''more'' abysmal than original, in some cases doubling down on criticized aspects of the original and by recreating them in even more bizarre manners, for an intended tongue-in-cheek effect. Whether or not that effect ''works'' is up to the soundtrack is awful. It's a pretty solid entry as a sequel, though viewer.

Corpsing is now trivia, moving to that tab.


* {{Corpsing}}: Thomas Favaloro reportedly kept mugging idiotically to see what James Nguyen would allow him to do. At one point, Whitney Moore, who admitted she knew she was in a trainwreck in the first film, laughs at it out of character. (Not too difficult, as she had difficulty keeping a straight face during the entire previous film.)

* CluelessAesop: Early on, Bill delivers a speech about how famous directors such as Creator/AlfredHitchcock and Creator/OrsonWelles were able to create all-time masterpieces because they were able to work independently without studio oversight. While it's certainly true that many a potentially decent film has been ruined by ExecutiveMeddling, it's ''also'' true that many infamously bad films have ended up that way because their creators had zero oversight from people who might have been able to prevent them making major creative mis-steps. The argument is further undermined by the slight fact that both ''this film'' and its prequel just happen to fall into that category.[[invoked]]
* CompositeCharacter: In addition to being an obvious {{expy}} for Nathalie, Gloria also fills the role of the restaurant waitress who Rod briefly spoke to at the start of the first film.
