Villains' Defeats

 * Carlos: Gets killed by Bernard and the gang and dies. He later gets revenge on the gang in Brendam: The Series.
 * Dernard: Is sent back home by his mom who is mad at him and is unseen until the end of the film, where he watches the concert.
 * Smek: Gets hit on the head by Toto and is banished from Brendam. At the end of the film, he reforms and becomes a protagonist. He is seen playing guitar to "Glorious" on a rock far from Brendam.

TV.Tropes

 * Big "NO!": At the beginning, Benrard lets one out do to hiss reaction to finding that Lovelace is naughty.
 * Big "YES!": Carlos lets one fly while discussing his evil plan.
 * Dance Party Ending: The movie ends with all the characters (exept Carlos) singing and dancing to "Glorious".
 * Disney Death: Lovelace is killed by Carlos with Obi-Wan when he tries to fight Carlos in the climactic scene, but turns up alive and well congratulating Bernard and playing Bernard's make shift guitar at the happy ending.
 * The Power of Rock: The Guardians of Brendam use the Beastie Boys as a radio jamming signal to, well, sabotage Carlos.
 * "YEAH!" Shot: The movie ends with one of these.

Refrences from films

 * Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) - Obi-Wan "appears" to Bernard and tells him to "use the hood", a reference to Obi-Wan telling Luke to "use the force." It is seen in a flashback of Obi-Wan telling Bernard to use the hood before Sabotage is a refrence moments before the Death Star's destruction.
 * Rock Dog - The movie's finale is similar to the end of Rock Dog. The finale is heartfelt in Bernard's dream achieved with his best friend Zig Zag, plus friends Olivia, Toto and Joe, while his late mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi looks on, proud of his apprentice. Loved how they were joined by his mentor Lovelace (playing Bernard's makeshift guitar) on stage. And to see Obi-Wan make peace with Dernard and Cynthia is a great redeeming moment for everyone enjoying the festivities together. Truly, a glorious film.
