* ConspicuousGloves: The 1933 film is set in winter, so gloves don't really look that odd until Griffin goes indoors and '''doesn't take them off''', or later on when he's wearing them with pajamas and a robe. The Vincent Price sequel (1940's ''The Invisible Man Returns'') is set in warmer weather, so it looks a bit stranger for him to wear them in most instances. The title character of ''The Invisible Woman'' (also released in 1940) can get by with it more considering the social customs of the period included women wearing gloves (and hats, for that matter), so it doesn't stand out so much.

* Determinator: Griffin goes 15 miles, on foot, through the snow, ''naked'' to get to Kemp's house. When he finally gets there, he wants to sit down, and says he'll want food and sleep, but first he wants to go back to the inn he was staying at and get his notes. So they hop in the car and he prepares to get go naked in the snow ''again''. (While they're driving, he at least has a blanket.) Not to mention the fact that he spent ''five years'' working all night every night on his invisibility serum. Apparently for Griffin, sleep is for the dead.
