Cartoonish Supervillainy: Befitting a wonderfully silly movie, the villains plan involves stealing all the water in Warsaw to sell it to a Third World country. Also involves a crocodile. | |

Sophisticated as Hell: Jurek. His "sophisticated" and "worldly" phrases are immediately followed with "Take off your hat" spoken in a noticeably crude, yokel way. | |

Stylistic Suck: The story (intentionally) makes little sense, the acting is weird, the montage sloppy. The director himself says that he was aiming for "wonderfully silly", but... | |

Credits Gag | |
| Hydrozagadka / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: The opening credits are spoken by the singer Iga Cembrzyńska (who was the director's girlfriend at the time and also played a minor role - a waitress in league with doctor Plama), in a strange, sultry way. Apparently this is because the movie had a very tight budget and they couldn't afford to make the credits like normal, but the end result adds to the surrealism. | |

Clark Kenting | |
| Hydrozagadka / int_7175cb16 | comment |
Clark Kenting: As's civilian identity is Jan Walczak, a mild-mannered draughtsmannote that is, a guy who makes and corrects technical drawings - a job now made obsolete by CAD software, but oddly common among the protagonists in Polish popular fiction in The '70s. He does not conceal his face in any way, doesn't even wear a Domino Mask, although he does wear glasses, just like Clark Kent. | |

The Comically Serious | |
| Hydrozagadka / int_76b4b7dd | comment |
The Comically Serious: Both straight and a meta-example, since the directors' explicit goal was to make as wonderfully silly movie as possible at the time movies were considered Serious Business. As especially delivers completely ridiculous lines without as much as a twitch of his facial muscles, but he's not an exception. | |

Take That!: Underneath the Affectionate Parody of superhero stuff, there's also a less affectionate parody of both Public Service Announcement material and contemporary crime novels and films which were always deadly serious, tended to have foreigners, traitors and western-styled playboys as villains and seemingly naive, but flawless heroes. | |
