27	* TastesLikeChicken: Joked about [[spoiler:after the last terror bird is killed.]]
28	* TimeSkip: After the intro showing the birds being released from the crate they were airlifted to the ranch from, the film then cuts ahead six months.
29	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Taylor]], given a choice between an adjacent door and a run to the house, decides to run to the house because "I ran track". [[spoiler:While she does actually make it to the house before the bird catches up to her, the door is locked.]]
