So, current WIP is tropey AF. So far I've had:

—Protags have to rob their own tomb to recover a time capsule (Indiana Jones sequence with traps)!
—Escape from venomous mole rat swarm!
—Impersonating robots to dodge museum guards!
—New brain implants = backstreet brain slug replacements!
—Other protag in underwater battle against SHARKS with LASERS coming out of THEIR EYES
—Graveyard robbery!
—Villain's ranting monologue

And I'm only 20K words in.

What other pulpy goodness should I pursue?

- lock the door by shooting the control panel
- if I cross-wire from circuit A to B, reversing the polarity...
- tropes from SG-1:
- "I've never blown up a star before"
- "That would make you the evil twin"
- Cheerful thug in a bowler hat
