* JerkassHasAPoint: Watson, though a DirtyCoward and a [[PlayingSick shirker]], is correct in not following Harris, [[spoiler:who gets two people and finally himself killed during two separate attempts to hike out of the desert, both of which (navigation problems and hostile nomads) he was warned about]].
* This trope applies more than once to Dorfmann as well. [[spoiler: When it's revealed Dorfmann is the one who's been taking extra water, he rightly points out he's been doing more work than the rest of the group combined. And while he's ruthless with everyone in his demands to get the plane built, it ''works'', saving the lives of every remaining man.

* SultryBellyDancer: Sgt. Watson has a surreal [[{{Hallucinations}} hallucination]] about one named Farida whom he'd met in the past. Thanks to the way how it's edited the dance works ''both'' as a fan-service ''and'' SanitySlippage.

Added DiffLines:

* WhamLine: [[spoiler: After letting Dorfmann take over control of building the Phoenix, Towns and Moran are chatting with Dorfmann as Towns leafs through a magazine with planes that include some of Dorfmann's designs...''Model airplanes''. An increasingly terrified Moran perks up and asks Dorfmann what experience he's had designing the "real thing." Imagine sitting in the audience in 1965 and hearing Dorfmann drop this zinger, as virtually everyone in it isn't going to have any inkling that the design of model planes and real-life airplanes can be somewhat similar.]]
