* {{Mutants}}: Tenser, Brecken, [[spoiler:Lang]] and other humans are developing in totally different ways from the norm. In the case of Tenser, he's developing new organs (albeit non-functional ones) apparently ''through willing it''. Brecken, along with [[spoiler:Lang]] and others, are now able to subsist on plastic along with other things most humans can't, with a group that embraces these changes as the future of humanity's evolution. Many other regular humans though react to this with animus and even violence.
* NoTranshumanismAllowed: The government, through an agency named the National Organ Registry, is trying to prohibit humans' having biological changes that diverge from the norm, as they fear that it could mean some are evolving into new organisms. Some however embrace this as a good thing and advocate these changes.



* ProfessionalKiller: Berst and Dani pretend they're technicians. In reality, they're assassins eliminating people who violate the law on developing new organs.



* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: Besides the purple, plastic candy bars, all the other food we see is strangely colored mush.

* WrenchWench: Berst and Dani are two female assassins with the cover of being technicians. The two almost always dress in coveralls, and kill their targets with power drills to the head.

* AmbiguouslyGay: [[ThoseTwoGuys Berst and Dani]], both women, come off as a couple sometimes, especially in the suggestive scene where they strip naked before lying down against each other to ask Caprice whether the pair have a "future in performance". It may just be a close, if weird, friendship though.



* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Berst and Dani, two female assassins with cover as technicians, murder Dr. Nasatir with power drills to the head. Later they do the same thing to [[spoiler:Lang]].



* FanserviceExtra: Berst and Dani, two attractive young women who are supporting characters, strip naked at one point with both showing full frontal nudity (albeit briefly).

* HumanSubspecies: {{Discussed}} as some people's biological changes no later make them identical to "classical" humans. The government seeks to prohibit this, though a resistance group embraces the idea. Some regular humans violently oppose this to the point of murdering such divergent people.



* MaleFrontalNudity: Brecken, an adolescent boy, is shown nude from the front during his autopsy.
* MsFanservice: Caprice is naked in a long scene, with the camero zeroing in on her breasts at length. However, it veers into {{fan disservice}} as she gets incisions on her breasts during it too.



* ThisIsADrill: The two technicians use drills as weapons, which they use to kill Dr. Nasatir and [[spoiler:Lang.]]

Not to be confused with the [[Film/CrimesOfTheFuture1970 the 1970 short film of the same name, also by David Cronenberg]] (both are completely unrelated to each other.)

Not to be confused with the [[Film/CrimesOfTheFuture1970 the 1970 short film of the same name, also by David Cronenberg]] (both are completely unrelated to each other.)-- there is little relation between them except for the concept of human bodies spontaneously growing new, nonfunctional organs.

Added DiffLines:

* LamarckWasRight: Lampshaded. Tenser points out that it should be impossible for [[spoiler: Dotrice's son to inherit the modifications that make it possible for him to digest plastic]]. It still seems to be the case, though.
