* [[Action Girl]]
** Francesca. Your brother is a poor swordsman who's got himself into a duel? No problem, just take his place and kick ass!
** Victoria holds her own with a sword in the climax, as well.
* [[Age Cut]]: At the beginning of the movie, with a dissolve from the child Giacomo to the adult Casanova, portrayed by Heath Ledger. The little boy actually looks enough like Ledger to be plausible, which isn't always the case.
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Shy, clumsy Giovanni loses his virginity to an entire brothel - for free, because he's apparently just that good - and becomes [[Badass]] by the next morning.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Francesca to Papprizzio.
** Also Casanova to Victoria.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Papprizzio. See [[Took a Level
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Papprizzio. Until the end, anyway.
* [[Cannibal Tribe]]: For failing to catch Casanova, Pucci's predecessor and his entire staff get sent off to be missionaries somewhere where they have "a great ''hunger'' for religion".
Line 42:
* [[Ladykiller in Love]]: The whole plot of the movie.
* [[Large Ham]]: Papprizzio literally, Pucci figuratively.
* [[Last-Minute Reprieve]]: Subverted, as it turns out the papal messenger is a fake, and when the authorities find this out, all the main characters are obliged to make a run for it.
* [[Lust Object]]: Casanova to {{spoiler|Victoria.}} And most other women.
* [[Masquerade Ball]]: Most of the cast attends one for Carnivale.
Line 61:
* [[Straw Prude]]: Francesca.
* [[That Came Out Wrong]]: Invoked in-universe by Lupo via a comment on being "very well-endowed" (referring to money).
* [[Took a Level
