For the ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' version, please go to the [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E05TheBloodWatersOfDrZ episode recap page]]. RedLetterMedia [[http://redlettermedia.com/half-in-the-bag-zaat/ reviewed]] it as well, as did New York Daily News' Phantom of the Movies, a decade later in 1980. (It took that long for the film to reach the Times Square grindhouse theaters.)

* NonIndicativeName - There is no Dr. Z.

* ScheduleFanatic: Say what you want about Doctor Leopold, he's meticulous and has EVERYTHING planned out on a huge chart on his wall. Almost makes you believe that he could conquer the universe through transforming himself into a fish. ''Almost''. Can't stress that enough.

* TheBadGuyWins: ...Sort of. It's probably more accurate to say The Bad Guy Manages To Pull A No Score Draw.
** If getting the canisters to the ocean will mutate all sea-life then he did indeed succeed. We don't know if the bullets killed him, and also he got the girl...kind of.

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: MST3K fans were lucky in that the televised version used for the show cut 15-20 minutes of Dr. Leopold ''walking around'', ''checking equipment'', and ''reading notes'', and ''nothing else''.

--> Crow: Wow, when this chick faints, she doesn't mess around.

* InnerMonologue

* MadScientist
* NonActionGuy

** {{Mondegreen}}: It's "Sargassum", not "Sashay through the '''sarcasm'''" -- despite how memorable a phrase that is.
** If he meant "sargassum," then the singer said "sarcasm" by mistake. He pronounces it with an unmistakable hard "C" and soft "S".
** No, he meant "sarcasm" in that one line, then "sargassum" in the others. It's metaphor.

-->'''Tom Servo:''' He doesn't inspire this type of music!

!!Tropes present in the MysteryScienceTheater3000 presentation include:

* BerserkButton: "If you ever sing Jerry Reed again I will crush you into a fine powder."
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Crow's take on the doctor's soliloquy.
** Pearl's love deprivation experiment on Mike and the 'Bots. [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove After first confusing love with adding fractions and her recipe for puff pastry]], she sends them a bucket labeled "Pearl's Love Stuff" (which contains such things as a stapler remover, a pawn shop receipt for a shot gun, a bottle of flavored gin, twelve hot pads, and a alternator), and then takes it away. Crow doesn't take it well.
-->'''Crow:''' No love! Love is gone! So lost! Feeling panicky! No sense of self! Developing stress-disorders and inability to work with others!
** During one of the side sections, when Mike and the bots are fishing [[BeyondTheImpossible from space]]:
-->'''Crow:''' Whoa, nelly. What kinda lure were you usin' Mike? A grenade? Or...
-->'''Mike:''' Well, sometimes when you bring 'em through high orbit they'll freeze n' go through explosive decompression.
-->'''Tom Servo:''' Oh, that'll wreck your catch.
-->'''Mike:''' Yeah.
-->'''Tom Servo:''' Better throw it back.
** Riff-wise, this just may be one of the greatest lines ever done:
--> '''Voiceover of Dr. Leopold's Former Boss:''' Your theory is insane, doctor! Turning a man into a fish? I cannot approve funding for such an outrageous experiment!
--> '''Crow:''' ...Now pull up your pants and ''get out of my office!''
* ContinuityNod: [[TheHorrorOfPartyBeach "I think I'll head over to Party Beach and see how the horror is doing."]]
** [[TheGirlInGoldBoots "I had a pretty MIIIIIIIIND!!"]]
* FanDisservice: Tom and Crow have Prof. Bobo and Brain Guy perform a scene from ''GlengarryGlenRoss'' in the nude to prove their point that nudity makes any movie scene better. Mike then points out to the robots that they probably should've specified ''female'' nudity.
** And then the 'Bots suggest Mike seeing Pearl nude.
* {{Squick}}: The chew tobacco scene.

-->''Sargassum -- the weed of deceit.''\\
''Sargassum fish -- mighty hunter of the deep. What an inspiration you have been in my plot.''

-->'''Tom Servo:''' He doesn't this type of music.

* NotableOriginalMusic: "World War II Boy" by Jamie [=DeFrates=]. If you interpret the mildly incoherent lyrics to ''World War II'' to being in reference to Dr. Leopold, then it counts as his VillainSong, but with a rather upbeat, catchy tune.
