* HowWeGotHere: Opens up with you fighting against the demon jaguar, the semifinal boss, only to wind up pinned and about to get your head bitten off, which is when the movie pauses. Harry then says "They say that when a giant demon jaguar is about to terminate your existence, your life flashes before your eyes..." The game then flashes back to twenty-four hours previous, and the game up until you reach the demon jaguar is buildup to that point.
* IdiotHero: Harry. [[InformedAbility he's said to have several PhDs]] but acts like a complete moron.
* {{ILLKILLYOU}}: One guard in the native village is a ''tad'' obsessed with killing. PlayedForLaughs though, as he never does make due on this threat.
* ItemGet: Each time Harry picks up the artifact [[spoiler:in the first three temples]], he makes sings his own personal ItemGet theme, lifts it above his head... and falls over from the weight.
* [[spoiler:LastMinuteHookUp: Harry and Nicole.]]
* TheLeader: Dr. Bernard Bittenbinder.
* MadnessMantra: The explorers you rescue whistle, hum, giggle to themselves, and ramble about the guard at the village (see {{ILLKILLYOU}} above).
* MamaBear: The monkey-mothers really don't like Harry holding their kids. Later, when he swaps places with a monkey baby in the monkey temple, the player has to take advantage of this to beat the challenge.
* TheMentor: Dr. Bernard Bittenbinder, to Harry.
* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: "Harry. Some people call me, heh, ''Pitfall'' Harry."
* NostalgiaFilter
* PluckyComicRelief: Quickclaw switches between this and CowardlySidekick.
* ShoutOut: "Great, so now I'm a monkey. I bet this never happened to [[Franchise/IndianaJones that Jones guy]]."
* StupidScientist: Leech.
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Enemies constantly assault you by throwing TNT. You pass by ''crates'' of the stuff throughout the game but can't use any yourself until a friendly character hands you some in a late-game cutscene.
* YouCanTalk: Harry's reaction to Quickclaw, when they first meet.
** Nicole [[IronicEcho repeats this line]] at the end of the game.
