* EarnYourHappyEnding: The group beat the frog-men, rescued the women and even survived a surprise attack from the angry father (from the beginning of the movie). Of course, Sam has to complete his "duties"...
-->'''Sam''': I guess it's true what they say.
-->'''Spangle''': What's that?
-->'''Sam''': A soldier's work is never done.

Added DiffLines:

* ChainsawGood: Played straight when a frog-man (sporting an EyepatchOfPower, no less) uses a chainsaw to remove Sam's chastity belt. He somehow manages it without injuring Sam or himself.

* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: The group, led by Sam, find one of the fertile women they're trying to rescue, but she's uncooperative and they end up tying her up and injecting her with hormones. For some reason they've brought Sam along, one of the few fertile men left on the trip, and he's forced to "get to work". The next morning she's pregnant and grateful. This seems to be a theme with Sam; his backstory reveals that he raped a woman who changed her story once she discovered she was pregnant. The world needs to be repopulated, after all.
