Line 7:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass]]: Col. Colin Caine. Full stop. Wandering through {{spoiler|Vampire infected London}} with the full knowledge of the danger, achieving every objective and coming out alive. Yeah, Badass.
* [[Big Bad]]: Space Girl.
* [[Body Surf]]: After her escape the female vampire starts switching from body to body to evade capture.
* [[Comet of Doom]]: The arrival of Halley's Comet foretells doom for London, as it contains an alien spaceship that carried space vampires. [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]], as the characters mention that the appearance of Halley's Comet has been considered a warning of disaster for centuries, possibly because seeing it meant the alien ship within was near enough to allow the vampires to reach Earth and feed.
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|The vampires are stopped from harvesting even more people by the end, but at what cost? The entire population of London is doomed, and the infection may spread even further if the army can't contain it. Carlson has either somehow turned into one of the vampires, was consumed along with the other humans' life energy, or is now captive aboard the vampire's spaceship, and Caine's chances of survival don't look too good with the remaining vampire zombies roaming the ruins of London. And the ship itself regenerates and returns to Halley's Comet, so it can return in another 95 years to do it all over again}}.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: The male vampire at the end.
Line 20:
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: Hi there, Mathilda May. The scene where a completely nude May goes around the Research Center wreaking havoc is memorable, to say the least.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: {{spoiler|The movie makes it patently unclear what happens to Space Girl and Carlson after he stabs her at the end.}}
* [[Gender
* [[Gorn]]: {{spoiler|Patrick Stewart and another guy have their internal organs burst out rather bloodily, reforming into the shape of the Space Girl.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] : If you're a fan of TV movie crime dramas/miniseries, you'll recognize Carlson as having played both Charles Manson and Ed Gein. Oh and [[Star Trek|Captain Picard]] plays the director of the Asylum.
