%%* AnimalTesting
%%* AnimalWrongsGroup
* AnimalTesting: By both the ethical scientist (Neil) and the unethical one (Delhurst). Neil is using lab rats to try and find a means to reversing Bobby's gigantism; Delhurst, meanwhile, uses dogs and monkeys for what he ''claims'' is cancer research but is really just boneheaded attempts to find a cure for male-pattern baldness.
* AnimalWrongsGroup: The entire thing is caused by Mark and his animal rights group trashing Neil's lab and accidentally releasing the giant rats.
* AttackOfTheTownFestival: Not a town festival per se, but Hamelin is unveiling a new sports complex complete with a swimming pool paid for donors, and White doesn't want a little thing like giant rats to spoil the occasion. It takes a lot of arm-twisting and the death of Neil's friend Joshua to even get him to agree to let Weizel and his men provide security at the event.

%%* DreamSequence* DopeSlap: Weizel is fond of these. He mimes giving one to White behind the Dean's back to illustrate just how fed up with the guy, and later, he delivers a truly epic one to the attempted BadassBystander who steals a cop's gun and starts blasting away randomly, hitting more people than rats.

Weizel. Unfortunately, his hands are (somehow) tied and he has to kowtow to White.
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Given that it's a ''Food of the Gods'' movie, this is pretty much a given. Giant rats terrorize a college campus.
* SexEqualsDeath: Carlos gets killed pretty much right after having sex with Mary Anne.

Ostensibly, it's the sequel to BertIGordon's 1970's (partial) adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel ''{{The Food of the Gods}},'' although the movie's shooting title was simply ''Gnaw'' and the connection to Gordon's film was added later. Certainly, it has nothing to do with the events of the 70's film beyond the title. In that film, the titular "food" was a mysterious oatmeal-like glop that burbled up from the ground. Here, the "food" (and it's only called that once) is a greenish growth serum developed by a scientist.
