* The {{Hologram}} scene. You've probably managed to forget that Quaid has it, since it was shown only once, at the very beginning of the movie and it was never used, mentioned or referred to later. So close to epilogue, Quaid finally enters the alien terraforming device, only to be ambushed by Richter and his goons, who surround him and fire at him from all directions. Quaid falls to his knees, Richter pulls off a ''grand'' {{Slasher Smile}} that only {{Creator/Michael Ironside}} can give you... and suddenly his grin fades when he realizes that, for some reason, Quaid doesn't seem to be injured by their bullets at all. Cue Quaid standing up and laughing derisively to the bad guys' faces. Surprise, surprise, he still has that wrist-mounted hologram device after all.

Per TRS, Just For Pun was renamed to Punny Trope Names due to misuse.

* A behind-the-scenes funny: while filming a take for the X-ray wall scene, the German shepherd dog on a leash stopped to ''[[https://youtu.be/Qm-dHbh34z8?t=1010 make a doody]]''. As tempting as it was to ThrowItIn, Verhoeven decided not to because he wanted the audience to remember the scene for the impressive effects, not for the skeletal dog getting ready to poo.

** Johnny Cab's last-minute attempt to kill Quaid for not paying upon him saying "[[PreMortemOneLiner Sue me, dickhead.]]"]]" is comedy gold if you don't find it [[NightmareFuel scary]]: Johnny's UnstoppableRage battle cry as he releases sparks and charges sounds goofy, and it's topped by Quaid making a likewise amusing "Eaagh!" Schwarzenegger vocalization when he gets out of the way in time.

* The HumanShield guy. How his body absorbs [[NoKillLikeOverkill 15,000 bullets]] and remain intact crosses many lines into BlackComedy that you can't help but laugh after the shooting stops.
