* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Mostly averted; the laser has no recoil, travels immediately in a straight constant beam and produces deadly amounts of heat and cutting power. It does, however, include a visible beam, appears to cauterize wounds, and is powered by an unprocessed diamond that was chipped out of a rock literally seconds earlier. So basically [[Rule of Cool|all the cool parts]] without any of the hassle or overwhelming gore.

* [[Great White Hunter]]: Somewhat straight in the novel, although really Munro is more of a [[Private Military Contractor|Hired Mercenary]] type, and also half-Indian. The trope proper is spoofed in the film.

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: A pair of Mizumu appear at the edge of the camp, and Munro tells Peter not to look at them, as they believe their magic keeps them from being seen before revealing themselves. He goes on to say that there are probably twenty more hiding around the camp, ''truly'' out of sight.
