* ArtificialGravity: The Jacker pirate spaceship activates it after capturing the Pachyderm through the MegaMawManeuver and Canyon's group is violently slammed to the ground, but the film also includes an example of CentrifugalGravity for the space diner.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The Pachyderm has no artificial gravity, meaning the bottle of mustard seen near the beginning is weightless while the ship isn't accelerating, decelerating, or turning. However, when John Canyon hits the brakes, that bottle of mustard keeps hanging in the air in the same place; it doesn't preserve its momentum and slam into the front of the cabin.

* AsteroidThicket: The Pachyderm narrowly avoids going through a cluster of "black rocks", hard-to-see asteroids. At least, most of them.

* CoolStarship: The space trucks, especially Canyon's "Pachyderm", literally resemble regular trucks, but tweaked to function [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]. On paper this sounds lazy, but it's actually pulled off well and they look cool. Captain Macanudo's [[Anime/CaptainHarlock Deathshadow]]-looking pirate cruiser is also pretty rad.

* DisneyDeath: Mike and Cindy get sorrowful when they think that Canyon didn't make it out of the Pachyderm before it exploded on reentry, before Canyon arrives revealing to have parachuted himself out in time.

* ReEntryScare: Canyon decides to sacrifice the Pachyderm by dangerously guiding it to plummet into the Earth's atmosphere, roasting all the remaining [=BMWs=] with the violent friction.

** Keller is killed when one of his own goons accidentally shoots out the glass in a space diner window while attempting to shoot Canyon. This all happens because Keller brought said goon as backup to coerce Canyon into leaving the station, all because Keller wanted to weasel out of paying in full for Canyon's late shipment.

* FoodPills: Zig Zagged. Canyon is introduced eating a normal looking hotdog on a bun with mustard, but later he microwaves some breakfast food paste tubes, which Cindy doesn't enjoy consuming too much.
