* BilingualBonus: Many hidden messages are found throughout the series in a non-English language which only fluent speakers would be able to fully appreciate, especially sections where transliteration would cause context to be lost. See LostInTranslation for further details. For one section in the 1990 video when Keizo is lost, Keizo's name switches from its Kanji spelling (敬三), used for Japanese names, to Katakana (ケイゾウ), used to spell foreign names or loan words [[spoiler:or to denote a thing]].

** In the 1991 video, the English and Japanese text differ significantly, with the English text on the ningen's anatomy downplaying or ignoring its deadliness while the Japanese represents it as a vicious predator. [[spoiler:The ningen shown in the footage is also referred to as "Keizo" at one point, only in untranslated Japanese.]]
** The word "help" is written all over the Professor Zubov in Russian, initially ambiguous as to whether it is a cry for help from the crew or an offer to the Antarctic expedition team. [[spoiler:The 1992 video clarifies that it is neither; that form of the word in Russian is a noun, not a verb, and it seems to have been left by the ningen possibly as a way to mock the humans.]]
