* AdaptationalModesty: In the original story, her counterpart Shirley is topless with different color BodyPaint every time Quail visits their offices (due to fashion trends evolving into NoNudityTaboo). In the film, Tiffany is more professionally dressed, with the multi-color motif being incorporated by having her instantly change the color on her fingernails.

!!!Played By: Marshall Bell

!!!Played By: Mel Johnson Jr.

* HeelFaceMole: He volunteered to infiltrate the resistance as Douglas Quaid so he could lead Cohaagen to Kuato.

* BizarreAlienLimbs: Subverted. He's human but due to mutation his arms are twice the length of a normal man's, though he can fold them up to appear common-length.

* OlderThanTheyLook: The dialogue implies he was responsible for the inadequately shielded domes that caused the first settlers to be irradiated and resulted in the mutants. This would mean that he has been around since the time of Benny's grandfather.

* PintSizedPowerHouse: Fights hard with a knife in the bar clash, delivering a GroinAttack with a knife and blazing away with a machine gun.
