Line 53:
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: "I haven't interfered in anybody's business since I was eighteen year old... and it damn near got me killed".
* [[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.
* [[Twilight of the Old West]]: Takes place in 1909 when automobiles are used to chase the bad guys.
* [[Underestimating Badassery]]: Like nearly everybody else in the movie (see [[Phrase Catcher]] above), the kidnappers assume that Jacob McCandles is ''dead''. It naturally never crosses their minds that he might be [[Determinator|the one coming after them]]. Had they known he was alive, it's very likely they would have kidnapped ''somebody else's'' grandson. This may be a piece of [[Fridge Brilliance]], actually, since it isn't until the very end that John Fain confirms that he, too, thought McCandles was dead.
