* FridgeHorror: Humanity only evolves once it develops the capacity to murder. Not merely kill, but carry out deliberate and premeditated violence. The first tool is a weapon. The first expression of intellect is an act of violence. And the famous MatchCut links it all together: the bone becomes the [[WeaponsOfMassDestruction orbital weapons platform]]. We go from humanity's first weapon to what is, in essence, its ''last'' weapon. Millions of years of evolution, and our primal nature remains unchanged.

** And the technique used to create the "Beyond the Infinite" sequence -- a [[CameraTricks camera trick]] known as "slit-scan" -- was impressive enough to be reused well into the early CGI era. It was later used for {{ABC}}'s "This is the place to be" ads of the early 1970s, as well as the WhooshingCredits for [[Film/{{Superman}} Superman: The Movie]] (which improved on ''2001'''s techniques by using a computer-controlled camera) and a whole bunch of pre-CGI motion graphics work in TheEighties.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The film's climax. Don't forget this was the late 1960s, too; many, many hippies [[JustHereForGodzilla saw it just to see that one sequence]]. Clarke himself relates an anecdote in which he was handed an envelope with a letter of thanks and an assurance that the remaining contents (a white powder) were "the best stuff". [[spoiler:He flushed it down the toilet.]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: Most people who watch the film and do not know its age believe it to have come in the wake of Star Wars or thereabout - i.e., the late 1970s. Part of this is the impeccably accurate portrayal of modern spaceflight, technology, et all, and part because of the gorgeous quality of the cinematography and special effects, which rival StarWars and make it appear as though it were made in the late 70s.
