=== ''Clockstoppers'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: If a person was really sped up in such a way, placing your hand on a table would have the effect of slapping it hard. Running at a wall would hit it with the force of a car, which sounds nice but remember your skeleton isn't reinforced to handle that.
Line 10:
* [[Black Best Friend]]: Meeker.
* [[Cast From Lifespan]]: You age normally in hypertime.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: The blobs of liquid nitrogen instantly freeze an entire human - in this case though the person would have to cool down from the point of contact with the liquid nitrogen. At best you could take out a joint or an arm instantly, but not the whole person at once.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: From the cover, you'd think Meeker has a much bigger role than he actually has. Going by screen time and billing logically it should be French Stewart as Dr Dopler in his place.
* [[Creator Cameo]]: The film's director is an extra in one scene.
Line 16:
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: How do you stop a person in Hypertime? With Paintballs loaded with liquid nitrogen, of course.
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Dad]]: The bad guys kidnap Zak's dad to work for them.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Dr Dopler is one of these - kind of a prick but considering all he's been through, you can't really blame him, and he definitely comes through at the end.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Meeker"
* [[Mundane Utility]]: With vast time-stopping power at his fingertips, Zak chooses to pull pranks and impress Francesca, his date. Then again, [[Justified Trope|he is a teenager trying to get with a hot girl]].
Line 23:
* [[Phlebotinum Breakdown]]: The hypertime device malfunctions after Zak gets it wet.
* [[Power Glows]]: {{spoiler|When Zak uses the watch while already in the hypertime chamber}}.
* [[ReluctantEngineer MadExploited ScientistFor Evil]]: Dr Dopler
* [[Stereotype Flip]]: Meeker, the black guy, is a much worse DJ than his white rival.
* [[Super Speed]]
* [[This Is Asas Far Asas I Go]]: Dopler refuses to accompany Zak and Francesca into Quantum Tech headquarters.
* [[Time Stands Still]]
* [[Token Trio]]: Zak, Francesca, and Meeker on the cover.
