Line 42:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Oh, so, played straight. Ghost Dog has a remarkable way with carrier pigeons. ''A sparrow even lands on Ghost Dog's sniper rifle'' and he pauses to admire it before scoping out the mafia hideout.
* [[Training Montage|Gonna Fly Now Montage]]: Ghost Dog's dreamy martial arts meditation/power-up sequence on the rooftop.
* [[Go Out
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Ghost Dog calmly {{spoiler|takes down the entire Mafia hideout}} in a subversion of [[John Woo]] style.
* [[Heroic Bloodshed]]
Line 65:
* [[Passing the Torch]]: Ghost Dog bequeaths his copy of the ''Hagakure'' to Pearline. {{spoiler|She also picks up his gun and aims it at Louie as he runs away, signaling that she might follow in his footsteps.}}
* [[Perspective Flip]]
* [[Pop
* [[The Public Domain Channel]]: Cartoons. So many cartoons.
* [[Rashomon Plot]]: The scene where Ghost Dog's life is spared is seen differently.
Line 73:
** Ghost Dog only speaks English, his best friend Raymond only speaks French, but they keep saying the same thing.
** The constant eating of chocolate ice cream. {{spoiler|When both Ghost Dog and Pearline turn down a cone within seconds of each other, it's a good sign that the mood is about to change.}}
* [[Shout
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''[[Deadman (Film)|Deadman]]''. The two films can be taken as part of a thematic series, similar to his early series of films.
** And to ''[[Le Samourai|Le Samouraï]]'', (1967) which was also about a Bushido-following assassin.
