{{quote|'''Dalton''': [[Signature Line|Pain don't hurt]].}}
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Wade Garrett.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Brad Wesley.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: For someone who can (and does) rip someone's throat out with his bare hands, Dalton is actually a ''really'' nice guy. A good example is when he pays the owner of a restaurant to allow a homeless guy to sleep there for the rest of the night.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Brad Wesley.
* [[Cool Car]]
* [[Cool Shades]]: Wade makes his entrance wearing Ray-Bans.

* [[Creative Closing Credits]]: The Jeff Healey Band play the bar's resident band, and perform "When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky" on screen behind the entire end credit roll.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Dalton.
* [[Death by Looking Up]]: Wesley's sole surviving mook gets [[Tap on the Head|conked out]] by a stuffed polar bear which topples. Rather than step out of the way, he screams and fires his gun at it
* [[Depraved Homosexual]]: Jimmy. His famous quote says all.
* [[The Dragon]]: Jimmy.
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[Expecting Someone Taller]]: In the tradition of [[John Carpenter]], everybody who's ever heard of Dalton expects him to "be bigger".
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Sam Elliot's pubes. Thanks for making me never look at him the same way again, movie.
* [[Fan Service]]: Want to see the bare butts of Patrick Swayze and Kelly Lynch? You've come to the right place
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Westley.
