Line 34:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Sam and Dog}}.
* [[Hot Mom|Hot Grandma]]: Maureen O'Hara.
* [[I Just Shot Marvin in Thethe Face]]: Big Jake casually sticks a derringer pistol into the front of his pants, pointing straight down to his groin. It probably wasn't loaded, but he doesn't actually bother to check. There is also a scene in which Michael McCandles' [[Cool Gun|fancy new semi-automatic pistol]] fires wildly out of control, causing all of the other members of the ransom party to dive for cover.
* [[I Have No Son|I Have No Husband]]. Said by Martha McCandles at one point... just before she decides to call on her husband.
* [[I Have Your Wife|I Have Your Grandson]].
Line 40:
* [[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 Else's Problem]]. There are also several examples involving the gang of kidnappers, the most egregious of which belong to the machete-wielding [[Fat Bastard|overweight]] kidnapper. One of these {{spoiler|involves an actual dog}}.
* [[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 Thethe Death|to the death]]}}.
* [[Machete Mayhem]]: By the most odious and [[Obviously Evil]] of the kidnappers.
* [[Made of Iron]]: The machete-wielding kidnapper is {{spoiler|attacked by an angry dog (twice!), shot with a pistol (also twice), stabbed in the stomach with a knife, and finally dies after being stabbed in the stomach with a pitchfork}}.
Line 48:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Big Jake.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Big Jake abandoned his wife and children many years before, and his son James is still sore about it.
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "I thought you was dead". Possibly alluded to by ''[[Escape Fromfrom New York]]'', made about 10 years later.
* [[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.
