{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes seen in ''Chopping Mall'' include: ===
* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: The movie frequently shows up on compilations of "Exploding Head" scenes on [[YouTube]].
* [[The Cameo]]: Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov make a brief appearence at the beginning of the film as their characters from ''[[Eating Raoul]]''.
Line 18:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The road flare.
* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]]: Apparently the security bots' default setting following a computer malfunction.
* [[Deconstruction]]: Yeah, the victims are horny teenagers, like in most slasher movies, but they ''aren't'' the idiots most victims in such movies are. They figure out what's happening, and ''they fight back!''
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: A customer oogles a group of girls in bikinis on an escalator, falls over crushing the boxes he was carrying
* [[Elevator Failure]]: How Protector 2 meets its end, thanks to the humans rigging it to blow.
* [[Final Girl]]: Partly subverted; Alison has to fight the last killbot alone, but it turns out her boyfriend was only stunned.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: The film was originally titled "Killbots" (and was syndicated to television as such), but it had trouble finding an audience with this title. It was given it's current title for its re-release.
* [[Vasquez Always Dies]]: {{spoiler|Linda, the tough girl mechanic is killed by a random laser blast while Protector 3 is malfunctioning, while Alison, the more chaste and feminine one survives the night.}}
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|The film ends with the three security robots destroyed, but the malfunctioning computer that controlled them (and supposedly has control over other parts of the mall as well) is still operating. Although it can't send out any more robots to do its bidding, it can still cause trouble for any humans in the area}}.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: Girl gets chased by robot. Girl gets decapitated by ''lasers''.
