* NoOshaCompliance: The chemistry lab Charlie wanders into has an eyewash station, which is nice, but also has glass bottles out where they can be easily knocked down - a real chemistry lab always cleans up and puts away to avoid contamination or accidents. A locked door is also a good idea. Charlie knocks over one that bubbles on the floor as acid.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: When discussing frozen mammoths, Dr. Brady explains that freezing creates ice crystals that "destroy the cell walls". However, animal cells don't ''have'' cell walls. (What she should have said is that the crystals destroy the cell ''membranes''.)

This film came out amidst a run of various caveman-themed movies (Such as ''Film/QuestForFire'', 1981; ''Film/{{Caveman}}'', 1981; ''[[Literature/EarthsChildren Clan of the Cave Bear]]'', 1986), but this one carefully examines the issues involved with resuscitating a paleolithic man in the late 20th century.

!!Tropes in this film:
* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals: Someone calls Charlie a Neanderthal, even though he was found in Canada.
** Somewhat justified, in that no one really knew from when or where Charlie came.
* AndIMustScream: Charlie is frozen with a look of complete and utter terror.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Charlie is happy to have achieved his goal, but he's probably going to die once he hits the ground.]]
* {{Bookends}}: The film begins and ends with a TitleCard of the page quote.
* CargoCult: Charlie interprets a helicopter to be his god.
* ContemporaryCaveman: Only not really played for laughs or to make a statement.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Charlie's pose when he is unthawed appears to be in a classic crucifix position. Given that he was to be the savior of his tribe.....
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: They do their best to keep Charlie in a familiar environment, but when he manages to get out he experiences this.
* HarmlessFreezing: Charlie was completely unharmed from being frozen due to chemicals in his system. This is lampshaded at one point, talking about how his cells should be harmed by the crystallization.
* HeroicBSOD: Charlie goes through one of these after seeing the helicopter.
* HeroicSacrifice: Charlie had gone on some kind of quest to confront/plead with a sky god and protect his tribe from disaster when he was frozen. [[spoiler:When Charlie grabs onto the helicopter and flies with it, he fulfills his quest from his point of view and without regret lets go...]]
* HumanPopsicle: Charlie again.
* MoodWhiplash: Charlie talks about his wife and kids, even acting like his kids at one point. It moves in to TearJerker territory when he asks where his children are.
* NoEnding: [[spoiler: Charlie is still falling from the helicopter when the movie ends. We get no resolution on that, or anything else.]]
