* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Gagool was apparently already ancient when the grandfather of the Kukuana king's eldest advisor was a boy, and it's hinted she's well over 400. That said, she dryly suggests the Gagool Da Silvestri met was her grandmother with the same name, which would explain it...except she does have intimate knowledge of what happened with Da Silvestri, including the exact location of the bag of diamonds he drops centuries ago in a place that hasn't been visited since. She also claims she will curse anyone who kills her to a swift end soon after, and [[spoiler: fatally stabs poor Foulata after she indirectly kills Gagool by delaying her exit.]]

trope about IU colorism

* ButNotTooBlack: Umbopa/Ignosi is a noble leader who speaks to the white men as an equal, so of course he must be described as "very light-coloured for a Zulu".
** Of course, Ignosi is a Kukuana and not a Zulu, and is identified as looking like a Kukuana the second he sets foot in Kukuanaland. Then again, this raises the question why the more admirable Kukuana are lighter-skinned than the Zulu.

* LighterAndSofter: The original tale wasn't exactly dark per se, but there was a definite serious tone to it and had very little (if ''any'') humor. This adaptation on the other hand? Not only does the movie crank up the jokes [[UpToEleven elevenfold]], it also takes itself far less seriously with a much campier tone overall. By contrast, ''Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold'' tries to be more of a straight adventure tale (unwisely, since they [[NoBudget lacked the budget]] for any sort of convincing special effects, leading to quite a bit of {{Narm}}).

Crosswicked from Lineage Ladder. Minor "pattern" mention to emphasize the tropes pattern/repetition definition
Added DiffLines:
* LineageLadder: Witch Doctor Gagool insists at various times that she knew "your father, and your father's father's father." The oldest member of the tribe remembers her as an old woman when he was a child. If she is the same Gagool who Da Silvestri warned about in his letter, as is hinted many times, then that would make her over four hundred years old, and if anything she could add a few more "fathers" to the pattern.
