Line 4:
** Ramsey's guns, which he apparently kept in his van. He says that he used to be a Marine but he quit because he was tired of killing. [[Fridge Logic|So then why did he keep his guns?]]
** Rod suddenly finds fishing equipment in the back of the van they've been using to escape the birds.
{{quote| '''Rod:''' Hey, look! A fishing rod! I can go catch some fish! [...] Oh look, a stove! We can cook it! }}
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: Alan Bagh (who plays Rod) seems hyperconscious of the camera, trying his ''hardest'' not to look into it. The fellows at [[Riff Trax]] imply he's an alien learning to walk like a human for the first time. The Village Voice review says it seems like Bagh is in his first class of ESL.
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Movie]]
Line 32:
** A dead bird is a cartoon clip art of a bird superimposed on the screen.
** Most of the "flying" birds are just superimposed animated .GIFs of the same bird.
{{quote| '''Kevin:''' Pff! The birds in ''[[Galaga]]'' look more realistic than those things.}}
** The birds don't so much "fly" as "hover while slowly flapping their wings". They look worse than the aerial mounts in ''[[World of Warcraft]]''. ''Far'' worse.
** Enjoy the "television news set" on the news program Rod watches at home.
** The spontaneous forest fire consists of several small fire and smoke animations randomly stuck on trees.
{{quote| '''Kevin:''' Help, it's a strangely localized forest fire!<br />
'''Bill:''' With small pinpoint blazes that are not spreading in the least! Help!<br />
'''Mike:''' And which are handily contained to tiny patches off the road itself making safe passage quite easy! Help! }}
** The guns' recoil, muzzle flash, and sound effects are almost never timed so that any two of them occur at the same time. And instead of making the birds an [[He Who Must Not Be Seen|unseen, mysterious enemy]], which would have worked on their budget, the birds are always shown in broad daylight, for long, extended takes, revealing every possible flaw in their looping animations.
