Line 18:
 
* [[Artistic License Astronomy]]: "Constellation" is used as a meaningful locational term.
* [[A Team Firing|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 From the Dead]]: Due to poor editing, a woman who was murdered reappears (as an extra) in the very next scene.
* [[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.
Line 45:
* [[Greek Chorus]]: The Bellerians
* [[Groin Attack]]: Repeatedly. On the same guard.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: Kalgan is played by John Phillip Law, who starred in ''[[Danger Diabolik (Film)|Danger Diabolik]]'' and as the blind angel Pygar in ''[[Barbarella]]''. Reb Brown, AKA "He who has many names", also starred in ''[[Yor the Hunter From The Future]]'' as the title character, and played [[Captain America]] in a (mercifully) busted pilot movie. Let's not forget that the actor playing the Santa is Cameron Mitchell.
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Verbatim from Ryder as he's [[What the Hell, Hero?|called out for letting Professor Spooner burn to death]].
** It doesn't even make sense, since he was teleported out of the fire by an automatic ejection system.
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Daughter]]: The mutineers attempt this by capturing Lea. Unfortunately, she's savvy enough to get out on her own.
Line 60:
{{quote| '''Kalgan:''' I'm surrounded by incompetence! I'm being undermined by my own disciples!}}
* [[Laughably Evil]]: Kalgan
* [[May -December Romance]]: The Bellarians giving a lapd-- ''ahem'', imparting the truth to the captain.
* [[Mickey Mousing]]: When MacPherson stabs a dissenting crew member.
* [[Mooks]]: The Enforcers.
Line 86:
* [[Space Clothes]]: An unfortunate double standard seems to be set: women often wear Space Leotards (though some do get to wear actual uniforms), the men mostly...don't. The captain wears a silvery muumuu.
* [[Stealth Parody]]: Again, taking Cisse Cameron's word for it, this film was still perhaps ''too good'' at emulating the films it was trying to spoof.
** If this is actually true, if this movie actually was intended to be a parody from the beginning, the simple fact that ''nobody buys that it was intentionally this bad'' is a testament to what an incredible job they did. This is a perfect storm of terrible, the entire cast is fascinatingly inept, mugging and stumbling and chewing the scenery over dialogue so awkwardly bad and yet so eminently quotable while the jaw-droppingly ridiculous special effects fight for screentime with laughable costuming and hilarious action scenes and impossible-to-ignore gaffs like a murder victim popping up as an extra in the foreground of the ''very next scene''. Everything about this movie is at the ''exact perfect pitch'' of [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]], to the point where it becomes So Bad Its Brilliant. In essence, if this ''actually is'' a [[Stealth Parody]], the makers of this movie are unsung and forgotten geniuses of film, worthy of mention in the same sentence as the likes of Mel Brooks in his prime.
** More of a parody of movie making itself than the sci-fi genre, though.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Female crewmembers besides Lt. Lamont all dress like [[American Gladiators]].
