* ServileSnarker: Dr. Schreber follows all the Strangers' orders, but still throws barbs at them occasionally, mocking one as "Mr.-Whatever-Your-Name-Is" and even giggling to Mr. Book's face that their experiment is going to bite them in the ass.

'''Also worth noting''': The {{opening monologue}} from the original cut [[{{Spoiler}} spoils the movie to hell]]. (It was a last-minute addition [[ExecutiveMeddling at the behest of New Line Cinema]].) It's recommended that you either watch the Director's Cut (which omits the narration) or mute the opening if you're watching the theatrical version. (Unmute at the closeup of the pocketwatch.) If you ''want'' spoilers, check out [[Recap/DarkCity our synopsis page]].

* ClockOfPower: The Strangers physically alter the city with the aid of a gigantic clock that they control via mass "tuning" (their word for their telekinetic/psychic power). The clock amplifies their tuning, allowing them to send everyone in the city to sleep at once, and can deconstruct/reconstruct entire skyscrapers in seconds.

** Dr. Schreber is named after a real person, Daniel Paul Schreber, a German judge. Why would a psychiatrist be named after a Judge? Because the judge wrote ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Paul_Schreber Memoirs of My Nervous Illness]]'', an account of his symptoms during nine years of Dementia praecox.

* BioPunk: While it leans more toward DieselPunk, the film incorporates several biopunks touches as well and has had a big impact on much later biopunk works with a RetroFuturistic vibe. The development team for VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}, for instance, cited this film as a major influence on their designs not just in the plasmid technology but also for the city of Rapture as a whole.
