Lords of the Deep / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Dobler's superior is disgusted with what he sees as Dobler needlessly killing everyone on the crew except for the one person they asked him to eliminate. Dobler tries to justify his actions, but his superior still plans to replace him once the new people get there. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
Lords of the Deep / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Trilby, the station's central computer, is programmed to follow its commander's orders without question or hesitation, even when those orders involve murdering other members of the crew. No compliance with Asimov's laws here. | |

The Dragon | |
Lords of the Deep / int_53f5119f | comment |
The Dragon: Dobler is in an odd position as he's the film's main antagonist AND The Dragon. While he's responsible for every death, he begins his murderous rampage at the behest of Roger Corman's corrupt executive, who shows disgust at Dobler method. Not only does he fail he gets killed in the end. | |

Master Computer: Trilby has control of every vital system on the research station, which is fine right up until Dobler starts ordering her to lock members of the crew into various compartments and cut off the oxygen... | |

Casting Gag | |
Lords of the Deep / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Co-producer Roger Corman's video appearances are very similar to the character Martin, played by Meg Foster in Leviathan (1989). Also, the character escapes unscathed, and doesn't even get a punch of retribution in the end. | |

Humiliation Conga | |
Lords of the Deep / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: Dobler manages to kill off multiple people except for his intended target in order to keep his position as the undersea lab's commander and avoid being on Earth's toxic surface. His superior is so incensed that he killed the wrong people and not the one he was told to that he tells him that he's being replaced anyway. Dobler, completely nuts by this point, keeps trying to kill O'Neill and Claire, but fails. The alien presence saves O'Neill and Claire and leaves Dobler to die when the undersea lab implodes. Also, a number of characters Dobler thought he killed were saved by the aliens. | |

Karma Houdini: Despite the corrupt executive ordering Claire's execution, he takes no responsibility or heat when the plan fails, and isn't in the lab to pay the ultimate price like Dobler. | |

All for Nothing | |
Lords of the Deep / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: Dobler wipes out most of the crew to save his job and prevent being relegated to Earth's toxic surface. His superior is pissed and makes it clear he's out of a job, and then later, Dobler dies for his troubles. Also, a number of people he thought he killed were saved by the benevolent aliens. | |

AxeCrazy | |
Lords of the Deep / int_b41acf08 | comment |
Axe-Crazy: Dobler ends up this way. Whist trying to eliminate Claire, he manages to get just about everyone BUT Claire killed. His in-film justification is that apparently the Earth is a toxic shithole on the surface and being underwater and in command of the undersea station is FAR superior to being on land. | |

Canada, Eh? | |
Lords of the Deep / int_d429d0f6 | comment |
Canada, Eh?: The whiff of Canada in O'Neill's line readings is (along with his unfortunate mustache) the main thing that differentiates him from the rest of the movie's mostly interchangeable cast of brown-haired white men. | |
