  • Adaptation Displacement
  • Complete Monster: Christian Szell of course.
  • Fridge Logic: Why does Szell go to a New York diamond market in person to do business when he could send a lackey or do business by phone?
    • Is it safe? Is it safe? Szell is too paranoid to do this. As Babe mentions in the film's (and I think the book's) ending, all of the trouble came because the Nazi was afraid that he would be robbed by anyone he worked with. The book has a few excerpts of his thought process, obsessing over his safety.
    • CALL THE POLICE!!
      • What are the police going to do when the people after Babe are working for a rather shadowy branch of the government?
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The torture sequence. It takes every fear people have of going to the dentist and amps it up to Eleven on the nightmare dial.
    • During screening, the director noticed a LOT of people leave during the drill scene... and tentatively come back.
  • Ho Yay: Henry and Janeway. (It's more explicit in the novel.)
  • Memetic Mutation: Is it safe?
