Saturn 3 note in the novelization, the moon Tethys, but in the script's case, Titan is a 1980 science-fiction horror film starring Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel.It was conceived and partly directed by John Barry, a production designer for A Clockwork Orange and Star Wars: A New Hope. This film takes cues from both. After some sort of dispute (accounts differ), Stanley Donen (of Singin' in the Rain fame) ended up directing most of it. | |

Eat the Dog: When examining Alex's pet dog, Benson mentions he's kept a few dogs himself... for food. Alex promptly tells him to hand the dog over. | |

Control Freak: Benson does not take even the slightest inconvenience well, which is one of the first things that rubs off on Hector (as seen by Hector breaking a chess piece after losing a game). When Hector takes over the base, he intends to run it his way. | |

Bloodless Carnage: When Adam pushes Hector into the coolant pit whilst carrying the explosives, a massive blast with several parts of Hector is shown. But nothing belonging to Adam. Averted with the murder of Captain James by Benson, which is shown in full gory detail. | |

Impeded Communication: Adam and Alex try to radio their distress to the Mile-Long Ship that has come to check on them. However, their pleas are blocked by the mad robot Hector, who mimics their voices precisely, and tells the ship that all's well. The reply is a cheery "See you in six months," and The Cavalry departs none the wiser. | |

Based on the way Saturn moves through the moon's sky, it would have to be orbiting perpendicular to the rings. For some reason, it's necessary to pilot a craft straight through the rings in order to get to the moon. | |

Unnecessarily Creepy Robot | |
| Saturn 3 / int_46d619c4 | comment |
Unnecessarily Creepy Robot: Hector looks for all the world like a skinned, metallic corpse with tubes for veins and metal plates where its muscles would be. Slowly, more of it is revealed, until we come to its head... or lack of one. All it has on top are two insectile, twitching, glowing eyes on an arm. It doesn't talk — it merely flicks its eyes around to stare at you. When you combine those attributes with its measured tread, eerie electronic "breathing," its deliberately inhuman movements and the fact that it's learning directly from the thoughts of the murderous, psychotic handler who has a stalkercrush on Alex, it invokes the eeriest elements of the Uncanny Valley, essentially recreating Frankenstein's Monster in space. But scarier. What happens near the end of the film isn't pretty either: Hector, his brain having been turned into a duplicate of his handler, has taken on his handler's madness as well, to the point that Hector tries to wear the man's head atop his own. | |

Deadpan Snarker: Interestingly, the two characters with the least autonomy early in the film — Hector and Alex — are sometimes bitterly sarcastic toward Benson. Hector is deliberately antagonistic toward Benson during his testing, and after Benson tries to get Alex in bed, she shoots him down and tells him to "enjoy your blues," referencing his "Blue Dreamer" pills but also Benson being left with blue balls. | |

Brain/Computer Interface | |
| Saturn 3 / int_da15842d | comment |
Brain/Computer Interface: Brain stem interfaces are placed in all human "instructors" of the Demi-god series of robots, allowing direct connection via radio waves (precursor to bluetooth) to upload instructions/training. Apparently, they are kept in those who wash out of the training program, allowing Benson to take the place of the legitimate operator. As a result Hector, whose brain consists of living tissue, takes on his insanity and his lust for Alex. Later, Hector kills Benson and implants the interface in Adam, not to put anything into his head, but to take something out. | |

Mile-Long Ship | |
| Saturn 3 / int_e26c3c72 | comment |
Mile-Long Ship: Swooping from above and set to bombastic orchestral piece in an almost identical establishing shot as the opening of Star Wars. | |

Averted with the murder of Captain James by Benson, which is shown in full gory detail. | |

Not Quite Dead: Hector gets dismantled at one point, but manages to reactivate himself later on, and use the lab equipment to put himself back together. | |

Artistic License – Space | |
| Saturn 3 / int_e6558beb | comment |
Artistic License – Space: Based on the way Saturn moves through the moon's sky, it would have to be orbiting perpendicular to the rings. For some reason, it's necessary to pilot a craft straight through the rings in order to get to the moon. Additionally, the appearance of the moon's surface more closely hews to that of rocky, airless Tethys, rather than the thick, noxious atmosphere of Titan, where Saturn wouldn't even be visible in the sky at any point at all. | |

My Brain Is Big | |
| Saturn 3 / int_ea9f0351 | comment |
My Brain Is Big: Played with. Hector's organic Brain in a Jar is massive - but it's contained entirely within his torso, while his head is downright tiny. | |

Kill and Replace | |
| Saturn 3 / int_ece27800 | comment |
Kill and Replace: Captain Benson quickly demonstrates his lack of clear thought or care for others by spacing his commanding officer in order to take his place aboard Saturn 3. | |

Trapped-with-Monster Plot: With definite overtones of Alien, this film followed a lot of leaders. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Saturn 3 / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: An astronaut in a spacesuit is murdered by blowing him out into space. He and his suit *instantly* freeze solid then shatter when hitting some wires (oddly placed in front of the door). Even if he were completely nude, he would not have frozen that fast. | |

Brain Uploading | |
| Saturn 3 / int_fc52510 | comment |
Brain Uploading: Hector learns, slowly, but learns quicker when connected to a human brain. Hector implants Benson's interface unit into Adam, so he can "experience" Alex. | |
