* LampshadeHanging[=/=]HandWave: One of the astronauts comments briefly on the fact that Venus was thought to have unbearable pressure and temperature.

* WhatWeNowKnowToBeTrue:

** "It appears all things are possible in space."

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: All the Venusian guards wear miniskirts. Zsa Zsa Gabor was reportedly annoyed that the film crew [[DistractedByTheSexy kept looking at them]] [[ThePrimaDonna instead of her]].

* DecapitatedArmy: Once Yllana dies, Talleah becomes queen and everything ends happily ever after. Never mind that Yllana had a ruling Council and soldiers who shared her misandrist views, which should have led to a CivilWar.
* DontYouDarePityMe: When Patterson tries a KirkSummation, Yllana responds bitterly, "Is that understanding, or pity?"

* [[spoiler:TheGrotesque: The Queen of Outer Space is a Queen Without A Face.]]

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: The surviving men of Venus have been [[PenalColony banished to a moon]] orbiting Venus...of which there are apparently several, which you can't see from Earth because of the dense atmosphere.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Apparently, a planet's size determines the breathability of its atmosphere.

* DecapitatedArmy: Once Yllana dies, Talleah becomes qveen and everything ends happily ever after. Never mind that Yllana had a ruling Council and soldiers who shared her misandrist views, which should have lead to a CivilWar.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The film takes place in 1985. You know, back when they had Big Wheel space stations and rocketships to Venus.

* WomenDrivers: Cruze expresses skepticism that a [[MenAreStrongWomenArePretty bunch of dames]] could have invented the ray gun that shot them down. Turner then asks how they could have even aimed it. "You know what women drivers are like." Even Cruze walks off in disgust at this lame comment. Mind you, that would explain why the beam was bouncing all over the place.

* UselessProtagonist: Ironically it's the rebel women who save the day [[spoiler:by sabotaging the DoomsdayDevice,]] not our heroes. In fact the presence of the astronauts only makes things worse, fueling Yllana's paranoid and hatred. You could argue that they served as a catalyst for the rebellion, but it would have happened anyway.

* DecapitatedArmy: Once Yllana dies, Talleah becomes queen and everything ends happily ever after. Never mind that Yllana had a ruling Council and soldiers who shared her misandrist views, which should have lead to a CivilWar.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Yllana is a [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds tyrannical ruler physically and psychologically damaged by man's warlike ways]]. Even though no-one on Earth knows that the Venusians even exist, she's so paranoid she's convinced the Earthmen intend to invade her planet and so [[OmnicidalManiac she intends to destroy Earth first]].

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The film takes place in 1985. You know, back when they had Big Wheel space stations and rocketships to Venus.

-->'''Lt. Cruze:''' Yeah, the way those [[RayGun shooting irons of theirs work]], I'm with you, Doc.

* {{Fanservice}}: The AmazonBrigade in their miniskirts and Creator/ZsaZsaGabor in her split dress ShowSomeLeg and run about in high heels.

-->'''Yllana:''' You will be interested to hear that the weapon will be ready to fire in a few minutes. Well, Captain? No comment?
-->'''Patterson:''' I think you're out of your mind.

* HomingLaser: The Beta Disintegrator appears to be this, as beams keep coming at the space station from completely different directions! Finally one locks on and the space station is toast.

* TrojanPrisoner: When they see guards have tracked them to the cave, the astronauts realise that ResistanceIsFutile as the guards could simply starve them out. So they hand their rayguns back to LaResistance, who pretend they've just captured them. It works surprisingly well as Yllana has the prisoners brought to her private chamber instead of the Council room. Talleah orders the guards to wait outside and they capture the qveen when she turns up for some EvilGloating.

* UselessProtagonist: Ironically it's the rebel women who save the day by sabotaging the DoomsdayDevice, not our heroes. In fact the presence of men only makes things worse, fueling Yllana's paranoid and hatred. You could argue that they served as a catalyst for the rebellion, but it would have happened anyway.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Yllana is determined to destroy the Earth, but LaResistance have sabotaged the Beta Disintegrator. When she runs inside and starts throwing levers, it [[DefeatEqualsExplosion explodes and kills her]].

* NeverTrustATitle: She's actually [[ScifiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale just the Queen of Venus]]. Mind you, it was originally ''Queen of the Universe'' before ExecutiveMeddling had it changed [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant because it sounded like a beauty pageant]].

* LadyInRed: Talleah, [[GoldColoredSuperiority until she becomes queen]].
* LadyLand: As Yllana has killed or banished all the men, our heroes are the only males on the entire planet.

'''Konrad:''' Perhaps this is a civilization that exists without sex.\\

* GoldColoredSuperiority: Talleah emerges in a figure-hugging gold dress to show she's become the new Queen of Venus.

* LudicrousSpeed: Expressions vary from "cheerfully constipated" as they're taking off, to "strapped-to-an-operating-table-and-forcibly-anal-probed" as their rocketship hurtles (well, [[OnlyAModel wobbles actually]]) towards Venus at [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale over a hundred miles a second]].

* OurDoorsAreDifferent: A door in Talleah's laboratory closes in a T-shape.

* SecurityCling: The rebels seem [[CovertPervert rather eager to do this]]. Poor Konrad is the odd man out, as there's only three of them.
* ScoobyStack: Albeit a horizontal version. As Yllana is EvilGloating over the impeding destruction of Earth, she doesn't see Kaeel appear in a nearby doorway, followed by Motiya, then several other rebels all lining up alongside them. They exchange a FaceNodAction with Talleah, then rush in to rescue everyone once the Beta Disintegrator starts blowing up.
* SoundInSpace: The beam trying to hit the SpaceStation.

I don't think they like strangers.
I don't think they like ''men''.
Yeah, where are the men?

* LadyLand: The men that Yllana kept alive were imprisoned on ''[[ArtisticLicenseAstronomy one]]'' [[ArtisticLicenseAstronomy of Venus' moons]].
