Line 15:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Max California.
* [[Defensive Failure]]: Welles has one of the men involved in the making of the snuff film tied to a support bar in the building where the film was made. He has his gun trained on the man's head...but can't bring himself to fire, even as the man taunts him (to the point of ''licking the gun''). Welles then steps outside, {{spoiler|calls the mother of the snuff film's victim, and begs for permission to kill the man. He gets it. Five seconds later he pistol-whips him to death}}.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: lampshaded as Longdale is called {{spoiler|"Satan Ex Machina" in the reveal at the end}}.
* [[Divide and Conquer]]: {{spoiler|Welles is about to be murdered when he reveals exactly how much money -- a million dollars -- Christian paid for his snuff film. The others immediately turn on the lawyer who commissioned the film, giving Welles time to grab a weapon.}}
* [[Dragon Their Feet]]: {{spoiler|Welles kills (or sees killed) the people who created the snuff film before going after the "performer" who murdered the girl. Justified, the actual murderer was injured and it took Welles a while to figure out where he was.}}
Line 72 ⟶ 73:
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Welles does a lot of smoking, and hides it from his wife.
* [[Smug Snake]]: {{spoiler|Daniel Longdale.}}
* [[Snuff Film]]: In an effort to reassure Mrs. Christian, both Welles and Longdale state that snuff films are nothing other than an [[Urban Legend]]. Welles sets off looking for proof to the contrary, whereas [[Irony|it turned out]] that {{spoiler|Mr ChristianLongdale had discovered this to be true (or at the very least difficult to acquire ''second hand'') and so he hired Velvet to create one}}.
** Actually, it was Longdale who came to that conclusion and improvised by contracting Velvet to make one. The movie strongly indicated that heMr. Christuan was ''merely'' an interested purchaser, and none the sicker for it.
* [[They Look Just Like Everyone Else]]
* [[Unhand Them, Villain!]]
