Line 19:
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: The boys' real father.
* [[Distant Prologue]]: The Fisher story.
* [[Disturbed Doves]]: A flock of these takes off when The King gives Bobby the [[No
* [[Dream Sequence]]: The dream of the buffalo.
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Mary does this to The King. Sadly, can be [[Truth in Television]]
* [[The Faceless]]: The King. Believed to be because Baldwin didn't want his face associated with child abuse, but could also be the director's way of portraying The King as an almost mythic figure.
* [[Framing Device]]: Adult Mike is telling his kids the story of his childhood.
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: Subverted. At one point, Mikey has a choice, to stay with Bobby or to play football with Victor and his gang. Given that he wants to fit in, he goes with the gang, leaving his brother to his own devices. The result: the football game is actually an ambush, which Mikey ends up overcoming, only to come home and find that his brother was put in the hospital by The King. He realizes he should have stayed with Bobby.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Twice, during onstage abuse of Bobby, the camera cuts away, to Mikey the first time, and to a flock of [[Disturbed Doves]] the second.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Mikey gives one to Victor, winning the fight.
Line 36:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Quoted nearly word for word by Fisher's friends during the prologue.
* [[Never Say Die]]: The "Is he...?" variant is used with Fisher.
* [[No
* [[Kick the Dog]]: The King almost kills Shane at one point.
* [[Love Makes You Dumb]]: Or at least, very gullible. Mary is quick to swallow The King's very transparent lies and empty promises.
