Line 19:
* [[The Blacksmith]]: Ator
* [[Breast Plate]]: Averted, Mila appears to be wearing a hub cap on her chest.
* [[Brother -Sister Incest]]: The first film in the series opens with Ator asking his father for his sister's hand in marriage. His father happily gives it, revealing that Ator was adopted, and thus he and his sister are [[Not Blood Siblings]]. Ator, of course, [[Squick|had no way of knowing this.]]
* [[Cultured Warrior]]: Ator, in the second movie anyway, is so cultured he can create hang gliders, perform surgery, and make gunpowder grenades.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Miles O'Keefe.
* [[Fantastic Nuke]]: The "geometric nucleus" seems to be a magic-based nuclear weapon, depending on how you interpret the [[Anvilicious]] closing monologue and stock footage of a mushroom cloud.
* [[Father, I Want to Marry My Brother]]: See [[Brother -Sister Incest]] above.
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Nila. Sure, she's a strong-willed young lady with lots of rebellious spunk. Sure, she has some nominal experience fighting bad guys with swords. Sure, she knows everything her Dad taught her, even did a neat [[Mc Guyver]] job with gunpower made from cave wall minerals in a test Ator had for her. However, she gets shot with an arrow, becomes a [[Distressed Damsel]] with both the cannibal cavepeople AND the snake cult & cowers in the corner like a helpless blob of jello when in the snake pit with Ator. C'mon, lady! Wield a femur or do [[The Mc Guyver]] routine with a skull-bomb or something! CHEEZE LOUISE! She's [[What Could Have Been]] as applied to a character...she's foisted on us as a cool, cute, spunky little warrior chick with mad science skillz but turns out to be a lackluster swordswoman & [[Distressed Damsel]].
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: How many other Conan knockoffs can ''build a goddamned hang glider''?
Line 37:
* [[MacGuffin]]: The "Geometric Nucleus"
* [[Neutral Female]]: You were a ''big'' help with the snake, lady.
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: The Great One
* [[Old Shame]]: Played straight with O'Keefe. It's been rumored that Miles O'Keefe offered the creators of ''[[MST3K]]'' a drink if he ever met them, for their take on this film. An installment of TNT's B-movie showcase ''Monstervision'' contained a segment where a viewer wrote in to request the Ator trilogy, only for host Joe Bob Briggs to explain that the last time they'd shown them, he received a personal letter from O'Keefe himself calling the films an "embarrassment" and asking politely that they never be shown on the program again (a request which Briggs respectfully acknowledged).
* [[Porn Stache]]: Zor
