Line 35:
* [[Hobos]], one of whom is a [[Deliberately Cute Child]]. Seriously, there's a montage of him discussing what kind of food he'd like to eat while generally being adorable.
* [[Homage]]: The idea of a [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giant monster]] carrying an even-more-dangerous disease was originally used in ''[[The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms]]''.
** The movie generally plays on
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Averted. Nam-joo is the only one who can shoot worth a damn (and she's only good with a bow and arrow), and even then she tends to hesitate a bit too much.
Line 47:
** Also when the creature starts regurgitating all the bodies it's been eating. You wonder how it could hold all that in there.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Hyun-seo's mother left after she was born, and she spends most of the movie trying to reunite with her father. Gang-du himself is a victim of this: his mother also left, and his father (though now very sorry) didn't take very good care of him.
* [[Physics Goof]]: If we forget about the problems a creature like that would have
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: The unbearably cute hobo child is raised by his older brother.
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: Nam-il keeps pointing the barrel of his shotgun at objects (and people). In one scene, he pointed and ''thrust'' the shotgun at Gang-du's head while the latter was asleep.
* [[The Virus]]: It turns out that {{spoiler|there is no virus and the whole thing was mass hysteria. Unlike in ''[[Monster a Go-Go!]]'', however, there undeniably was a monster.}}
* [[Why Isn't It Attacking?]]: Subverted.
* [[Writer on Board]]: Although it manages not to derail the plot.
