!Tropes for the film:
* CharacterTitle: ''Krippendorf's Tribe''.
* TheFilmOfTheBook: Based on Frank Parkin's novel of the same name.
* {{Tagline}}: "A father discovers that the most important "long lost tribe" in his life may be very close to home".
* TranslationYes: There's a scene where the titular [[spoiler:fake]] tribe's chief ([[spoiler:the titular Krippendorf, the researcher who has made up this tribe, in disguise]] is on a talk show with Krippendorf's wife. The host asks him what he thinks of America, and he makes three syllables, which translate somewhat longer. The host is bewildered that it would be the case, but the almost-girlfriend says the tribe's language is succinct.
* TribalFacePaint: The characters use it.
