Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Welch, who is described as a well-meaning provider of internet service in underdeveloped countries turns out to be using his satellite launch to cover the launch of his own private nuclear weapon stash in space. | |

Facial Dialogue | |
| Aloha / int_29ad1d69 | comment |
Facial Dialogue: Brian and Woody have one pretty early in the movie where Brian is able to discern full sentences just from Woody's body language. They have one again near the end of the film, but this one is subtitled to show exactly what the two of them mean with their facial expressions. Brian and Grace have one at the very end of the movie as she realizes that he's her biological father. | |

TrailersAlwaysLie | |
| Aloha / int_337a0f4 | comment |
Trailers Always Lie / Trailers Always Spoil: A rather bizarre combination. The trailer actually starts off with Brian sabotaging the satellite and General Dixon chewing him out for it, which the rest of the trailer then framed to make it look like this was the incident that caused Brian's seed of doubt and subsequent necessity for redemption at the start of the movie. Also, the trailer's bit of Welch talking in dreamy terms about life. The trailer makes it seem like it will be part of the lesson Brian learns as part of the story, but in the actual film it's just a glib statement he gives his biographer to quote him on. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Aloha / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: At one point, the theme from Stripes can be heard in the background. Bill Murray was one of the stars of Stripes. Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone talk comic books. Both have been in movies based on comic book franchises, Cooper as Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and Stone as Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man Series. Alec Baldwin once again mentions "taking all the credit." | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Downplayed with Allison, who tries to get the cynical lone wolf Brian to open up more and rediscover his enthusiasm about space. In spite of this, she is a highly decorated and competent Air Force pilot and takes her job seriously. | |

Broken Ace: Brian, a former Air Force pilot with a great interest in space, got axed from the service by budget cuts, but found what he thought was a second chance as a contractor, is now a cynical, broken man who walks with a limp. | |

As Himself: While he may not be well-known outside Hawaii, Dennis "Bumpy" Kanahele, whom Brian and Allison meet and deal with, is a political activist for Hawaiian sovereignty playing himself. Also, Ledward "Led" Kaapana and Mike Kawaa, a Hawaiian slack key guitar duo, appear at a meeting and are credited as themselves. | |
