!!This film contains examples of:
* AllPartOfTheShow: Colton hijacks a tour bus, and the people on the bus are convinced it's part of the tour, or a hidden camera show in one guy's case, until the lavalantulas show up.
* AntagonistTitle
* BigBad: The queen of the lavalantula colony.
* CatchPhrase: Colton, over the course of his movie career, got the catch phrase "Nice ____", with the blank part being whatever his character was gonna beat on.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: {{Downplayed}}; While you can still stand near the {{lava pit}}s without bursting into flames, any rubber nearby will melt.
* DepravedDwarf: Arnie, Colton's JerkAss agent, is a little person.
* DiabolusExNihilo: While there's some speculation as to if they're a new species or borne of radiation, it's never actually explained where the lavalantulas came from. All that is known about their history is that they were known to the Mayans.
* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:The lavalantula queen is blown up, taking out the whole colony with it, but the last line of the film is "Many have wondered if we have seen the last of the lavalantulas."]]
* FanBoy: Colton encounters a fan of his while trying to save the day. The kid becomes his sidekick in the adventure, using his film knowledge to survive real life becoming a ridiculous BMovie.
* GiantSpider: The main antagonists are giant, fire-breathing tarantulas from the Earth's core.
* HiveMind: The lavalantulas are all controlled by an even bigger queen. If she dies, they all die.
* LogicalWeakness: [[spoiler:The lavalantulas live in extreme heat their whole lives, so it make sense that cold will weaken them. Therefore, compressed liquid nitrogen, which is 77 kelvin or -196.5 celsius, will kill them.]]
* MsFanservice: Maggie, Colton's wife, spends her entire screen time in a sports bra.
