** The overdubbing of the Sardaukar might be intentional -- Villeneuve ''wants'' the Sardaukar to be unnerving and uncanny, as in the book they are described as such even although Herbert never explains why. Here Villeneuve gives a good representation that makes the audience feel unnerved by the Sardaukar. Their BlackSpeech includes when they signal to each other in the cistern, sounding like Orcs or Nazgul more than humans.

* In the Harkonnen throne room, there's an eight-legged black ... ''[[AnimalisticAbomination thing]]'' which looks like it escaped from one of Creator/HRGiger's nightmares, which seems to be kept as a pet by the Baron or Piter. The Harkonnen servants--who are all bald and eerily thin, with white skin, no fingernails and solid black eyes -- also look distinctly alien. Some wear strange gags over their mouths, and react twitchily and deferentially to the Harkonnens' actions, implying a history of brutal treatment from their superiors.

* Our first true demonstration of the Bene Gesserit Voice, when the Reverend Mother orders Paul to come to her and kneel. He seems to just appear that way almost instantly, as though dragged on a leash, fully making clear how much it overrides your own will so you're not even aware of time passing until you've complied.

* After Paul and Jessica have been captured by Harkonnen forces, the pilots onboard casually discuss the idea of ''forcing themselves'' on Jessica.
