* ChaseScene: There's a car-versus-inverted-car chase following the plutonium heist, with [[IncrediblyLamePun Neil at the wheel]] against Sator's vehicle. During the chase, the Protagonist sees a crashed car ahead of them [[TimeRewindMechanic invert its roll]], letting it get back on all four wheels.

* WriteBackToTheFuture: This is {{Inverted|trope}} because of [[TimeRewindMechanic inversion]] ([[IncrediblyLamePun yes]]). Someone in the future recruits Andrei for their scheme via an inverted TimeCapsule (played straight of course from his point-of-view). It is also weaponized in the last battle by having two combat teams, one inverted, with the past team learning from the other's experience. Tenet refers to this as a "temporal pincer movement" through a specific event. [[spoiler:Played straight when the Protagonist gives Kat a mobile phone at the end and tells her to give her location if she ever thinks she's in trouble. This saves her life as the Protagonist can receive the messages in the future and travel back to the present to always be there to stop any assassination attempt.]]
