* David (or Burroughs) gets surprisingly snarky in his narration, for instance early on when describing how he thinks religious GadgeteerGenius Abner Perry will react to being threatened with death.
-->Now that he was about to die I felt positive that I should witness a perfect orgy of prayer...if one may allude with such a simile to so solemn an act.
* He does it again when they're [[MadeASlave chained up with a bunch of other humans]] and Hooja the Sly One starts making "thinly veiled advances" toward Dian the Beautiful.
-->Did I say thinly veiled? There is a race of men in New Zealand, or Australia, I have forgotten which, who indicate their preference for the lady of their affections by [[TapOnTheHead banging her over the head with a bludgeon]]. By comparison with this method Hooja's lovemaking might be called thinly veiled.
* In the movie, Dr. Perry and Dian are confronted by a Mahar and Perry shouts "[[TemptingFate You can't mesmerize me!]] [[StiffUpperLip I'm British!]]" The Mahar hypnotizes him [[InstantlyProvenWrong almost immediately.]]
* The movie ends with David and Dr. Perry returning to the surface....by drilling all the way up to the front lawn of the White House.
