History Film / Birdemic2TheResurrection

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Nathalie.

** A possible point - the SpaceWhaleAesop seems to be mocked by including ''zombies''.

* {{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.

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

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: The actors make ''several'' flubs, but James Nguyen ''refuses'' to do a second take.

* AllMenArePerverts: Bill always seems to focus on how Gloria is beautiful before saying she's talented. Also, he's clearly looking at her ass when they first meet.

* BetaCouple: Nathalie and Rod are this in the sequel, compared to Gloria and Bill.
** Then it kind of flip-flops in the second half, due to Rod and Nathalie knowing so much more about the birds and more or less leading.
* CallBack: The music over the credits (and a couple minutes after) is "Hangin' Out with My Family" from the first movie.

* TheCameo: Nathalie's mom, Tony, the Woody Harrelson-looking tree hugger and Dr. Jones from the first movie make brief appearances.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Like Rod and Nathalie, Bill likes Gloria, who's also a blonde, and Will is implied to like Jessica who is also a blonde.

* StealthParody: A possible point - the SpaceWhaleAesop seems to be mocked by including ''zombies''.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Susan apparently died of a disease from eating the fish in the first film.
** Which is odd, because she (along with Tony) refused to eat it, and if they did eat it, why didn't they all get the disease?

* TooDumbToLive: The only person the main cast manages to rescue is a cowgirl who's trapped in a house because she forgot how to open a door. Unsurprisingly, she dies later in a zombie attack.

* TookALevelInBadass: Nathalie in between the two films.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Tony goes unaccounted for during the bird attack. Odd considering that Rod and Nathalie are supposed to be looking after him.
** For that matter, whatever happened to the entire bird apocalypse from the first movie? Only the characters from the first movie even seem to remember that it happened.
*** A couple throwaway lines indicate the first movie's events were largely confined to Half Moon Bay (and [[VoodooShark somehow never gained national attention]]).

* ShoutOut: To ''Film/SunsetBoulevard'' [[HeroicWannabe of all things]].
** According to WordOfGod, the overly-long walking intro is supposed to be a reference to ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'', and the red rain that kicks off the bird/zombie attack is a reference to ''Film/ReAnimator''. Uh...okay?

* ConspicuousCG: While the birds from the first movie were Conspicuous Clip-Art, the new ones are this instead (as well as the "giant jumbo jellyfish").

** Bill (Thomas Favaloro) intentionally grins and laughs like an idiot during the entire film. Reportedly, he wanted to see how much he could get away with (the answer: ''everything''.)

* LampshadeHanging: With the Film being much more Self Aware, almost like it is a parody of itself, when Rod asks Nathile for a Gun, she points out that Rod is a terrible shot; likely to explain how in both Birdemic Films, the Characters are barely able to hit a large number of Birds at point blank range?

"Maybe it's global warming!"

* CerberusRetcon: Despite not actually eating the meal in question in the last film, Susan's fate was retconned to have died of disease sometime after the first movie from the fish Rod prepared. The reason for this line is that Nyguen asked that the actor who played Tony, Colton Osborne, to adlib a line into the Museum Scene detailing her whereabouts.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The "giant jumbo jellyfish", which is never referred to as anything else.

* AscendedFridgeHorror: This movie reveals that the little girl Susan actually '''died''' from eating the unprepared fish Rod cooked in the first movie.

** The same probably goes for the executives who can't comprehend a script not having [[{{Fanservice}} topless women and sex scenes.]]

* ConspicuousCGI: While the birds from the first movie were Conspicuous Clip-Art, the new ones are this instead (as well as the "giant jumbo jellyfish.")

* FanService: Gloria in her underwear. Also the scene where the topless women are acting for a film before being killed by the birds.

* NoEnding: [[spoiler:The scriptwriter dies and the birds fly away. Kind of doubles as a DownerEnding too, as the first one ended on the hope of a better future and the survivors being saved; this one just ends after a death and everyone looking sad ([[DullSurprise or bored, it's hard to tell which]])]].

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer shows that zombies are in this film, and semi-gives away that [[spoiler:the scriptwriter dies.]]

* RecycledScript: The lines, which Gloria & Nathalie read, for Sunset Dreams, are lines taken James Nguyen's other Film; ''Julie & Jack''...however...the lines that the females are reading are...Jack's lines?

* RecycledScript: The lines, which Gloria & Nathalie read, for Sunset Dreams, are lines taken James other Film; ''Julie & Jack''...however...the lines that the females are reading are...Jack's lines?

* AuthorAvatar: The suspiciously-familiar Asian screenwriter who spends half the movie talking about his dream to make a movie about killer birds attacking Hollywood. [[spoiler: The film abruptly ends when he dies.]]
