=== Tropes found in either the novel or the film include: ===
* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: In the novel, Dr. Beth Halpern (sic) happens to be a very attractive weightlifter. One of the other characters described her as "Mother Nature with muscles."
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Vocal regulators so that the audience isn't forced to listen to Munchkin talk the entire film.
Line 42:
* [[I Always Wanted to Say That]]: Ted, on "[[We Come in Peace]]".
* [[I'll Kill You!]]: In the novel, Norman is the first to figure out "Jerry's secret." He then attempts to taunt Jerry. Suffice it to say, Jerry does not appreciate this.
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]: Many. Beth even [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s that Jerry is channeling Deepak Chopra. Beth herself comments that the Zen masters would say that the Sphere was a ball that wanted to be caught.
* [[Inertial Dampening]]: The spaceship discovered at the bottom of the ocean features water-filled chair systems to help counteract high g-forces.
* [[In Space Everyone Can See Your Face]]: Played straight.
