* AnachronismStew: The movie is implied to be set in 1999, the year of its release (Lance says "let us set the tone for the new millennium", the Blue Raja mentions the British Raj having ruled India "until the early part of ''this'' century"), but still takes place in a futuristic super-metropolis with thousand-floor skyscrapers, ever-present zeppelins, billboards cowritten in English and various Asian languages, strange money (the big bills are red, the coins have square holes in them) and bizarre advanced gadgets. All of this is deliberately invoked to parody the conventions of UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, the contemporary [[Film/BatmanForever Schumacher Batman films]] and alternate-history superhero fiction like ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.

* CheapCostume: ''Everyone''. Before the climax, the heroes actually all take the time to sew themselves significantly better ones under the Sphinx's tutelage. They're still pretty cheap, but they look significantly less lame.
