Line 25:
* [[Aliens in Cardiff]]: Eagle Hat is the center of the Ziox civilization.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: The Rowsdower-mobile, which apparently needs hard liquor to start it up.
* [[A -Team Firing]]: Throughout the film, most notably during a long car chase in which the villains spray the truck with bullets and yet fail to hit either of the truck's occupants. In another example, Rowsdower fires a shotgun at two cultists at near point-blank range and ''misses''.
* [[Atlantis]]: It turns out the city was sunk because the Ziox worshiped a cheap mock up idol.
* [[The Atoner]]: Rowsdower is a former member of Satoris' cult.
Line 33:
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Satoris has one. The badass part is debatable.
* [[Big Bad]]: Satoris.
* [[Bond James Bond]]: "The name's Rowsdower. ''Zap'' Rowsdower." [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Rowsdower has an unnecessarily dramatic yell after having a nightmare about getting his cult sign burned into his arm.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''Zap Rowsdower!''
Line 43:
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Satoris. Just hearing him say "Zap Rowsdower!" just makes that name all the more funny.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Garth Vader, for Satoris.
* [[Five -Man Band]]: Only three protagonists, but they fill the roles surprisingly well.
** [[The Hero]]: Rowsdower/Troy.
** [[The Lancer]]: Rowsdower/Troy.
Line 50:
** [[The Chick]]: Troy.
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Pipper.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Rowsdower's tattoo
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]: Mike Pipper turned into one of these over time.
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]
Line 65:
* [[Magnetic Plot Device]]: The map to the idol.
* [[Malevolent Masked Men]]/[[Mooks]]: The black clad wrestlers.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Rowsdower's unsuccessful attempt to save Troy's father - [[VillainsVillain's Dying Grace|Satoris left him alive afterwards just so his failure would continue to torment him.]]
* [[Nerd]]: Troy may just be the best example. ''Constantly'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] during the [[MST3K]] episode.
* [[Old Shame]]: Averted, at least for Bruce Mitchell a.k.a. Rowsdower. To this day he's a great sport about acting in this flick -even though neither he nor the rest of the cast received any compensation for the job- and doesn't consider any of his previous work a total waste (although we have a suspicion that Mitchell isn't returning Tjardus Greidanus' calls anymore).
** In an interview on the DVD release, Mitchell admits to never having seen the entire MST3K version of this film. Would one of our fellow MSTies to the north please do something ''aboot'' that?
* [[One -Scene Wonder]]: Mike Pipper has only a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxHCsFmwubs few minutes] of screentime... but he's ''friggin hilarious.''
* [[Older Sidekick]]: Rowsdower has the indignity of being the sidekick to a 97 pound weakling.
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Troy's pretty much ordinary other than the wrestlers coming after him.
Line 82:
* [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]]: One of the cultists, when they attack the house.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Satoris sounds like a cross between Darth Vader and Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
* [[What the Hell Is That Accent?]]: Aunt Betty inexplicably has a British accent.
* [[You Killed My Father]]: Troy is led to believe that Rowsdower killed his father and loses faith in him. Eventually it's revealed that Rowsdower actually tried to prevent the death. Of course, since Satoris would have given the order, he's still the figure that gets the lion's share of the blame anyway.
* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]: Satoris, after initially subduing Rowsdower and keeping him at bay by having every one of his goons pointing rifles at him...asks two of his minions to leave and kill him, thus providing Rowsdower with plenty of opportunity to escape. As opposed to just shooting him *right there* when he was helpless.
