* IndyHatRoll: There's one sequence where Alex and Charlton Heston's Adam have to run through a corridor full of closing doors that close in sequence, as the trope dictates; however, they don't quite make it and the last door closes in front of them.

Added DiffLines:

* MinimalistCast: There are only five speaking actors onscreen. Six if you count the KillerRobot. Three of which carry 99% of the movie. One of whom dies as soon as the robot starts going mental.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Based on the way Saturn moves through the moon's sky, it would have to be orbiting perpendicular to the rings. For some reason it's necessary to pilot a craft straight through the rings in order to get to the moon. The station is out of communication with Earth for 22 days because Saturn is blocking it, which is impossible (no satellite could orbit that slowly).

!!''Saturn 3'' provides examples of:

* IndyHatRoll: There's one sequence where they have to run through a corridor full of closing doors that close in sequence, as the trope dictates; however, they don't quite make it and the last door closes in front of them.
* KillerRobot
* WetwareCPU: Hector's three brains, which are stacked in a tube full of bubbling water.
* UnnecessarilyCreepyRobot: Hector looks for all the world like a skinned, metallic corpse with tubes for veins and metal plates where its muscles would be. Slowly, more of it is revealed, until we come to its head... or lack of one. All it has on top are two insectile, twitching, glowing eyes on an arm. It doesn't talk -- it merely flicks its eyes around to stare at you. When you combine those attributes with its measured tread, its deliberately inhuman movements and the fact that it's learning directly from [[spoiler:the thoughts of the murderous, psychotic handler who has a stalkercrush on Farrah Fawcett]], it invokes the eeriest elements of the UncannyValley, essentially recreating FrankensteinsMonster [[RecycledInSPACE in space]]. But scarier. What happens near the end of the film isn't pretty either: [[spoiler:the handler places ''his own brain'' inside the robot, which wears the front of his face like a mask]].
