* {{Bathos}}: During a heated argument, Jerry attempts to blaspheme Davidge's deity. Unfortunately, Davidge never let on that Mickey Mouse wasn't actually a deity, so Jerry calling Mickey "one big, stupid DOPE!" actually defuses tension instead of escalating it.

* DueToTheDead: The funeral crew disposes of corpses in accordance with each stiff's beliefs. For example, before Davidge's corpus is brought to the checker on the conveyor belt leading to the airlock, the corpse of an agnostic soldier is unceremoniously dropped through the airlock ("No music."), with little more than a wreath and a "so long" from one of the young men to send him off, and before him a corpse of Christian denomination is airlocked with organ music with voiceover accompaniment and, yes, a wreath (though the music machine breaks down as the conveyor belt sends the corpses closer to the airlock). Davidge himself is about to be airlocked as "John Doe, Protestant" before one of the young men decides to try to take a possession off of him, resulting in Davidge letting him know rather violently that no, he ''isn't'' dead.

* PragmaticAdaptation: The literal mine filled with enemies that factors into the finale was demanded by studio executives and wasn't present at all in the source novella, where the main characters are simply found and rescued. Because of the way film plots are typically structured, though, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools a direct adaptation of the novella's ending would have been seen as somewhat unsatisfying in a movie, as there's no real set of climactic events that lead up to the resolution]].

* NoOSHACompliance: The bad guys' mining ship has little to no safety features in sight, resulting in plentiful deaths and mutilations. Possibly justified in that it belongs to illegal strip-miners who employ illegal slave labor, and probably couldn't be arsed into caring about legal safety regulations.
