Line 25:
* [[Hand Cannon]]: Sykes upgrades from his police-issue sidearm to a Freedom Arms Model 83, a 5-round .454 Casull revolver, in order to combat the Newcomer gang that killed his partner. At the time the film was made, this was the most powerful handgun/cartridge commercially available.
* [[Human Outside, Alien Inside]]: Although they look moderately similar to humans, Tenctonese cannot metabolize cooked protein, so most of their diet consists of raw animals.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: A lot of them are racist towards the Newcomers, however the movie has a subversion as the Newcomers aren't presented as being any better than the humans, and have many of the same faults we do, as well as some that are unique to their society.
** Many of the Tectonese, especially George, believe that [[Humans Are Special]] because they welcomed The Newcomers into their world, gave total freedom to a species bred to be perfect slaves, and asked no more of them then they would themselves. Racism aside that's pretty damn impressive.
* [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!]]: The newcomers get drunk on sour milk.
