Line 19:
* [[Cat Fight]]: What the Kara/Selena conflict effectively boiled down into at the climax of the film.
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Kara disguises herself as "Linda Lee" on Earth. Helen Slater didn't have the acting chops to pull this off convincingly in her film debut, so her efforts in this area fell flat compared to Christopher Reeve's masterful efforts in the Superman movies.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: The casting of Kara isn't too bad by the usual standards of this trope; Helen Slater was 20 at the time, playing a high school age girl. But Lucy Lane? Actress Maureen Teefy was 31 at the time the movie was made! And, well... let's ''hope'' Jimmy Olsen (played by the 27-year-old Marc McClure) is an example, as [[Ephebophile|the alternative interpretation]] is more than a little creepy.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: This is noticed [[In-Universe]] by Selena's sidekick, Bianca:
{{quote|'''Bianca:''' You know, I think I recognize the costume.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Keen viewers will recognize Bianca as the voice of [[Johnny Bravo|Bunny Bravo]].
* [[Invisible Monsters]]: Selena sends an invisible demon to fight the superpowered Supergirl (and reduce the movie's special effects budget).
* [[Most Common Superpower]]: This was definitely averted. Helen Slater, whose bra size is reportedly 32A, said the following in an interview about the film: "In the comics, Supergirl is quite, um, buxom...so I hope people won't come to the film expecting that."
