Line 25:
* [[Badass Adorable]]: The main six again, but now [[Turned Up to Eleven]] in their badassery.
* [[Big Bad]]: Dr. Benedict. While most antagonists in the series are jerks at the worst, this man wants to put an end to summer vacation.{{context}}
* [[Big No]]: Done by Mikey when he finds out the villain's plan...which is understandable given that if the plan succeeds, Mikey's summer vacation will end early, at least from his perspective.
* [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Whomping Heroes]]: The teachers.
* [[Big Damn Movie|Big Whomping Movie]]
Line 115:
* [[Parental Bonus]]: The movie's built on this trope. It's freaking ''[[Recess]]'', so of course this trope's going to be heavily involved.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Miss Finster with Miss Grotke at the end of the movie, after discovering that she's a martial arts expert. The sweet part kicks in when you remember that in previous seasons, Miss Finster didn't like her very much.
** The Ashleys help the others save summer vacation.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Although the role he played was technically still a villain, [[Tony Jay]] usually plays the role of intimidating villains (such as [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Shere Kahn]], [[Beauty and the Beast|Monsieur D'Arque]], and [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Claude Frollo]]). However, he plays the role of the head scientist who [[You Have Failed Me...|ended up getting detention after the weather altering laser ended up shorting out again]]... who acts like a complete wuss as soon as it became apparent that the laser shut down unexpectedly.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: T.J. tells the police what's going on. They don't believe him. The other five tell the police what's going on. They don't believe them. Miss Finster and Randall tell them what's going on. [[Rule of Three|They don't believe them]]. By the end of the movie though, they find out eventually and arrest the villains.
Line 135 ⟶ 136:
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: While all the main kids have large roles in this movie, T.J. gets the most time to shine, leaving some fans to think that the film should've been called ''The T.J. Detweiler Movie''.
* [[The Stool Pigeon]]: Randall, obviously. However, there is also Fenwick, who in the end becomes a Betrayer Barry in the hopes that he'd be acquitted if he pins all the blame on his boss while insisting that he was only following orders, while also offering evidence for the state trial. Ironically, ''Randall'' [[Even Evil Has Standards|ends up being disgusted by this.]]
* [[Surrounded by Smart People]]: Benedict's followers of scientists and agents are obviously a lot more intelligent and more rationally minded than he is. One unnamed female scientist suggests moving the laser to a more appropriate location, but the stubborn Benedict has his own maxim: "It started at Third Street, it is going to end...at Third Street."
* [[Swiper, No Swiping]]: Gretchen asks the villain to stop during the final showdown. Unfortunately, Benedict is too far gone to be reasoned with. He asks if Gretchen ''really'' thought he would stop if somebody just asked after he went through so much to get there in the first place. Mikey asks if he said please would he stop.
* [[Title Drop]]: The movie's working title was ''Summer Vacation: The Ultimate Recess'', which is what T.J. quotes in the beginning. However, the trope was then averted when the title was changed.
