* PoliceAreUseless: The policemen screening the scientists coming to Benet's lecture check to make sure everyone has an invitation, but don't seem to grasp the concept of passing out photographs of the ''well-known scientist'' they're looking for. As a result, Dr. Rukh walks right in without even needing to disguise himself, because he has an invitation he stole a few minutes before.

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Diane and Ronald's romance is portrayed in an entirely positive light, as they try to avoid their feelings for each other, but ultimately fail due to ThePowerOfLove. The fact that Dr. Rukh is a neglectful husband and loses his marbles doesn't hurt their decision, either.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Dr. Rukh waylays a fellow scientist on his way to Dr. Benet's lecture, offers him [[QuickNip alcohol]] against the late night drizzle, and suggests that they move back into a sheltered area to drink it instead of just drinking it while walking. The man sees absolutely nothing wrong with this.



* RoaringRampageofRevenge: Dr. Rukh decides that the other five members of the expedition wronged him and goes on a rampage to murder them all.

* BadBoss: At one point, Dr. Rukh threatens to melt all of the African tribesman helping him with his ray if they desert him. This is actually ''before'' he notices his Radium X poisoning, though whether or not it had already begun to affect him at that point is left ambiguous.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Averted. Dr. Rukh has a conversation with a man in French, but it makes perfect sense for him to do so, as they're in Paris. However, pretty much every other conversation that takes place in Paris is in English, and Dr. Benet never once speaks a full sentence in his native language.

* SanitySlippage: Due to the [[ArtisticLicenseBiology interaction of the Radium X and the suppressant in Dr. Rukh's body]], he notices his brain degenerating almost immediately. Eventually he states that he rarely ever feels like the more rational man he was before he was poisoned.
* TheyCalledMeMad: Dr. Rukh is ''introduced'' complaining about this. Later, he ''does'' completely lose it.
