7 | ---- |
8 | !!Tropes: |
9 | * ActorAllusion: Ham III is basically [[WellDoneSonGuy Rod]] (from ''Film/HotRod'') as a chimp - both are played by [[Music/TheLonelyIsland Andy Samberg]]. |
10 | * AndIMustScream: The "freezing" liquid will instantly solidify anyone who comes into contact with it, effectively turning them into works of art. |
11 | * AlienSky: Malgor has three suns, which give the planet only a five second long nighttime. |
12 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: More like aliens speaking animal talk. |
13 | ** Zartog seems to understand the English the probe bleats out, though he may just be responding to the pictures.... |
14 | * BarefootCartoonAnimal: The chimps, even in their ''space suits''. |
15 | * ChekhovsSkill: Ham III's time in the circus has inadvertently prepared him for the space mission. |
16 | * DeadpanSnarker: Ham and Luna. |
17 | * DisasterDominoes: Done epically with [[spoiler:NASA space rockets.]] |
18 | %%* ExplosionPropulsion |
19 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Kilowatt]] lets [[spoiler:her]]self get SwallowedWhole by the Flesh-Devouring Beast to clear a path for Ham and Luna through the cave. [[spoiler:Once Zartog is defeated, [[DisneyDeath she shows up without even a scratch]], though she had to result to...unpleasant methods to get out.]] |
20 | * InexplicableLanguageFluency: The [[SpeaksFluentAnimal aliens]] and [[InexplicablySpeaksFluentAlien chimps]] understand each other, despite that the chimps have just arrived on their planet. |
21 | * IntelligentPrimate: The chimps [[AnimalTalk can't be understood by humans]], but they're smart enough to know how to pilot a rocket ship. |
22 | * LamePunReaction: Titan seems to like using 'chimp' puns, and it's even lampshaded by Ham. |
23 | -->'''Ham''': You're not gonna do that the whole way, are you? |
24 | -->'''Titan''': What? |
25 | -->'''Ham''': Use 'chimp' to replace real phrases? |
26 | * LargeHam - Ham III |
27 | * LiteralMetaphor: When Ham and Luna wind up in some alien quicksand. |
28 | -->'''Ham''': You're sinking pretty low there. |
29 | -->'''Luna''': Yeah, well you deserve it. |
30 | -->'''Ham''': No, you're literally going pretty low, we are actually sinking. |
31 | * NeverTrustATrailer - The trailer is a bit ambiguous about the plot but it really shows nothing about the movie. It seems more like a couple of astronaut chimp friends going on a mission, and the humans seem to be aware of their behavior. |
32 | %%* MusicalSlapstickMontage |
33 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Ham never wants to go into space and tries as hard as he can to get out of it. |
34 | %%* ShoutOut: From ''Franchise/StarWars'' to ''Film/Armageddon1998''. |
35 | * SoundOff: |
36 | -->'''Titan:''' I am Titan, I am strong! |
37 | -->'''Ham:''' No one wants to sing along! |
38 | * TheStinger: [[spoiler: Zartog is turned into a lawn ornament.]] |
39 | * TitleDrop: As the trio are finally launched into space. |
40 | -->'''Luna:''' We are now officially Space Chimps! |
41 | * TranslationConvention: Whenever the perspective switches to a human, the chimps can only be heard making realistic chimp noises. |
42 | * TwoWordsAddedEmphasis: "Two chimps, two words: ''animal testing''." |
