** Well, maybe not abusive, but as a child, Mickey did see {{spoiler|his father kill himself.}}
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Mallory's father and Jack Scagnetti.
* [[Badass Beard]]: Wayne Gale.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Mickey towards the end.
* [[Berserk Button]]: The only person who calls Mallory "You stupid bitch" and lives is Mickey.
Line 25:
* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]: Arguably the whole point of the movie, and a vicious satire of it.
* [[The Family That Slays Together]]: {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]. Mickey and Mallory end their killing sprees after they decide to settle down and have kids.}}
* [[The Farmer and the Viper]]: A variation is recounted to by a Native American who shelters Mickey and Mallory.

** Scagnetti had a similar excuse, as his mother was killed by a spree killer.
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted HARD]], possibly in staunch defiance of the trope played straight.

Line 37:
* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|In a deleted scene, instead of [[Karma Houdini|running away and raising a family]], Mickey and Mallory are killed by the same serial killer that helped them escape the prison, because [[Word of God|Stone said]] that the best comeuppance for the two was to be killed by "their own ilk".}}
* [[Mood Dissonance]]: All the frakkin' time.
* [[Outlaw Couple]]: Mickey and Mallory.
* [[The Plan]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that Mickey and Mallory didn't actually plan the riot. They instead attribute their miraculous escape to "fate."
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Mickey's glasses.
Line 45:
* [[Villain Protagonist|Villain Protagonists]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell, Villain?]]: {{spoiler|When Mickey accidentally kills the Indian, Mallory really lays into him.}}
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Kalifornia]]'' meets ''[[Network]]''.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Mallory's mother has purple hair, mostly a [[Shout-Out]] to Alex's mother in ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''.
