* BadassDecay: The Bio-Mechanical Warrior (BMW) cyborg is introduced utterly annihilating the security and personnel of a military base on Titan after taking down a plane and tank without a scratch like the ultimate ImplacableMan, and later another one goes on a killing spree on Captain Macanudo's crew... but then the ones that go after Canyon and his friends move more slowly and clumsily [[PlotArmor missing every hit]], and they're taken care of with {{Improvised Weapon}}s (a fire extinguisher and a microwave) before several are shown to get vaporized by a WeaponizedExhaust and atmospheric reentry friction, which makes one wonder how effective they'd actually be for Saggs.

** The CGI effects, like the tooth and spray of blood Jackie spits out and the "black rocks" asteroids, are distractingly dodgy and aged poorly.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: The main cast and the supporting roles all deliver perfectly competent performances, but it ends up making the little material they have to work with feeling more dry. Creator/CharlesDance and some of the other space pirates seem to be more aware of the type of film they're in and [[HamAndCheese have some fun]].

* HilariousInHindsight: While ''Film/{{Alien}}'' served as a major influence for the movie (down to getting Ron Cobb to design the vehicles and environments), the way the 'Newborn' is disposed of in ''Film/AlienResurrection'' (which was released the following year after ''Space Truckers'') is suspiciously similar to Keller's death.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Aforementioned hiccups withstanding, ''Space Truckers'' was the most expensive film Creator/StuartGordon directed and it shows, with its extensive use of PracticalEffects, detailed miniatures and spaceship model work and immersive set design that displays a colorful UsedFuture aesthetic which ''Film/TheFifthElement'' would've perfected the following year.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad E.J. Saggs]] is a treacherous CorruptCorporateExecutive who plans to take over and enslave Earth through the use of a cyborg army threat; the cyborgs also seem to have human possessing capabilities. Saggs first has his scientist Nabel test the cyborgs' might against his own mercenaries, many of them ending up dead as a result. To have full control for himself, Saggs has one of the cyborgs attack and attempt to kill Nabel. Nabel survives, but becomes half-cyborg space pirate Macanudo, who abducts and threatens John Canyon, Mike Pucci and Cindy Welsh and plans to use Saggs's cyborgs they were unwittingly smuggling for him against Saggs. Both a defense cyborg Saggs had installed and the cyborgs themselves attack the heroes and kill Nabel and his crew. Saggs denies to the heroes the accusations of what he was doing and offers them a very large cash bribe to keep quiet, which is in actuality a bomb that he tries to use to kill them all.
