Line 27:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Jake McCandles is one, his Indian companion, Sam, is another. Both of them suffer from poor eyesight, fading hearing, and slower reflexes than they used to have, but they make up for it with skill and experience.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The score is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-arLiOBDxOI classic Western-movie stuff], by the great [[Elmer Bernstein]].
* [[A Dog Named "Dog"]]
* [[Every Car Is a Pinto]]: At least one automobile explodes abruptly into flames.
* [[Evil
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: Michael.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Several, particularly involving [[Machete Mayhem|the machete]].
Line 39:
* [[Kansas City Shuffle]]: Big Jake doesn't tell anybody that {{spoiler|the strongbox containing the "ransom money" actually contains nothing but newspaper clippings. His sons are rather miffed when they find out. The kidnappers [[Oh Crap|have rather a different reaction]].}}.
* [[Kensington Gore]]: The blood in this film is bright red, and doesn't seem to come from any obvious wound.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Several. In one instance, a member of lynch mob gratuitously kicks a young boy, prompting Big Jake to get involved in the situation, when previously he had viewed the situation as [[Somebody
* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: O'Brien has his gun pointed at James' back, but instead of just shooting him, he {{spoiler|lets James turn around so they can have [[Quick Draw|a quick-draw contest]]... [[Duel to The Death|to the death]]}}.
* [[Machete Mayhem]]: By the most odious and [[Obviously Evil]] of the kidnappers.
Line 51:
* [[Rancher]]: The [[Mc Candles]] ranch is run over by a gang of cutthroats.
* [[Retired Badass]]: Jake McCandles appears to be this, though what, exactly, he is doing before his wife calls on him is not made entirely clear.
* [[Somebody
* [[Thicker Than Water]]: When little Jake is kidnapped, his grandfather and two of his uncles are the ones to come rescue him.
* [[Throw Away Guns]]: Big Jake does this at one point, but it is probably [[Justified Trope|justified]]- out of ammo, he was aiming for his assailant, hoping to slow him down in a life-or-death situation and thereby buy himself enough time to finish the guy off. He would have been easily able to retrieve it, once the assailant had been dispatched.
