Line 15:
* [[Flatline]]: To nobody's complete surprise, this happens a lot.
* [[Flatline Plotline]]: ...yeah. The best-known, if not the first, such example.
* [[How Dare You Die On Me!]]: While David Labraccio (Kevin Bacon) is trying to resuscitate Nelson (Kiefer Sutherland) at the end of the movie.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Virtually every scene where Nelson and Dave interact.
* [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff]]: He says he was joking.
* [[Magical Defibrillator]]: In [[Real Life]], it is not possible to defibrillate someone who is flatlined back to life, let alone someone who has been clinically dead for twelve minutes. We won't talk about brain damage, either.
* [[Meganekko]]: Rachel.
* [[Mirror Scare]]: Rachel (Julia Roberts) looks in a mirror and sees the ghost of her dead father on the room behind her.
* [[Nipple -and -Dimed]]: Averted, surprisingly. ''[[The Abyss]]'' did this with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and it was PG-13. ''Flatliners'' is already rated R, and even has a sex scene in it! But Julia Roberts has a bra on during her resuscitation scene.
* [[Positive Discrimination]]: While all the men in the group have to deal with the various people they hurt in their lives, the one female in the group's only sin is {{spoiler|having a father who committed suicide when she was a child, through no fault of her own}}.
** Though in the original script, her sin was an affair with a college professor where she villainized him after being caught and claimed sexual abuse. The storyline was changed so as not to reflect badly on the reputation of "nice girl" actress Julia Roberts.
