* {{Hypocrite}}: Donald, the head of the Jobsist church, executes whoever is guilty of jail-breaking their phones, with the "[=iExcommunicate=]" app that causes them to blow up. [[spoiler:Wolfgang took his phone, and the heroes manage to kill him with that same app by linking an old Nokia phone to it, meaning that Donald was jail-breaking his own phone as well.]]



* LastSupperSteal: The Vril leaders in Agartha are all seated on the same side of a long table, with the President in the middle of them.



* ShoutOut: Obi running with a sledgehammer in her hands, smashing the Jobsist chapel's glass walls with it and interrupting Donald's speech is made to look like Creator/RidleyScott's famous ''1984'' Apple commercial, in an ironic reversal since that ad was meant to represent Apple ending "Big Brother" (IBM)'s monopoly.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: The filmmakers seem to think that a ship would take 80 to 100 years to reach Mars from the Moon. Here's why that's total crap: Lunar escape velocity is about 2.38 kilometers per second (i.e. they would have to have at least that much to be able to take off from the Moon and set course for Mars). The average distance between Earth and Mars is 225,000,000 kilometers. This means that the trip would take about 1094 days or just under 3 years. And the outer shot of the spacecraft shows working engines, meaning it's accelerating, so the total time should be even shorter. Even if Mars happens to be at the worst possible position for the journey, it would only take 2 years for it to be back in position.



** Also, the monkeys which Kortzfleisch feeds with Vril energy to make them into humans are clearly modern monkeys and in no way resemble the actual ancestors of humans at the time of the dinosaurs (they were closer to rodents).
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Technically, both Wolfgang Kortzfleisch and Adolf Hitler count as this.]]
