* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Not directly stated, but there are implications that Nerplex does simply more than alters one's physical appearance into another being. The most notable incident is when Lizzie chews the Veenox 7 gum, and seems to have no problem with killing one guard, and eating another while as that alien. This even seemed to carry over when she reverts back to being human.
** Though this may only be trait specific to Veenox 7, which would explain why Martin was so heedful when mentioning it.

* NightmareFetishist: Tim claims he ''likes'' Lizzie's transformed man-eating alien form.

* EatenAlive: After Lizzy chews the Veenox 7 gum she she kills one guard by throwing him into a computer and cuts off a second ones escape before she eats him.

** Ray Walston (the original Uncle Martin) has a small role as a government agent following Martin and Tim. In the end, his character turns out to be [[spoiler:another Martian named Neenurt [[MythologyGag who has been stranded on Earth since the '60s]]]].
** When Martin is explaining the different kinds of nerplex to Tim, he holds up the spiky-looking [[ChekhovsGun Veenox 7]] gumball and tells Tim that when it comes to Veenox 7, "[[Film/BackToTheFuture Just say no]]!!"
