Line 19:
* [[Artistic License Astronomy]]: "Constellation" is used as a meaningful locational term.
* [[A-Team Firing]]: Lea among others had poor aim. With both Kalgan and Ryder's "speeders" bearing down on her, she fires at Kalgan... and [[Stop Helping Me!|manages to hit Ryder's speeder]], [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|temporarily disabling it]].
* [[Back
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: Steve Codell says he'd rather jump to his doom than join Kalgan (or be put on ice). He's just climbing over the railing when Kalgan gives him a push.
* [[Bridge Bunnies]]: Some of whom are dressed so scantily they may as well be Hugh Hefner Bunnies.
Line 70:
** Note that they have exactly no impact on the plot. It's fairly obvious the part was added after everything else was shot, since except for the one brief scene with Santa no-one they interact with ever shows up in the main story even as mooks.
* [[Parody Retcon]]: Assuming you don't take Mrs. Cameron's insistence that this was a [[Stealth Parody]] at face value, of course.
* [[People Jars]]: Kalgan tends to freeze prisoners (or [[You Have Failed Me...|failure subordinates]]) in cryogenic suspension rather than kill them outright. This is actually a fairly canny move, as once he's taken over the ship he can thaw them out so they can still be useful to him. Unfortunately the movie didn't have a budget for a cryogenics lab so they just hung four or five guys wrapped in plastic up on a coat rack.
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Not the actual pirates in the movie, who at least try to do something, but this trope does apply to Captain Devers.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: The Mortuary Keeper is just there running the facility where failed Mooks are frozen until necessary. He may work for the villain, but when the heroes arrive he asks if they need help or would like a cup of tea. He also answers all their questions about the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Evil Plan]]. He doesn't really seem evil at all.
