Line 97:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Turkish and Tommy.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The main Traveller who isn't Mickey or Mickey's mam is played by Jason Flemyng, who was Tom in ''Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels''. In the DVD commentary, the filmmakers joke about how much screen time Flemyng managed to nab for himself in what was supposed to be a cameo.
** Avi is [[Law and Order|Detective Fontana]], [[Fight Club (film)|Tyler Durden]] is getting into fights again, and Tommy looks an awful lot like both [[Boardwalk Empire|Al Capone]] ''and'' [[Public Enemies|Baby Face Nelson]].
** The random informant that Bullet Tooth Tony drags through the street by his tie while driving is [[Trainspotting|Spud]].
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Basically what Avi is subjected to over the course of the movie.
Line 106:
** If you consider them to be villains. This troper considers them to be the protagonists in their little part of the story.
** Cousin Avi might count. He's clearly a ruthless criminal and not an incredibly nice man, but the movie takes what would normally be a pretty clear-cut villain (the ruthless mob boss who gets something stolen from him and goes on a quest to get it back by any means necessary) and instead sends him blundering through an increasingly humiliating and exasperating comedy of errors until you kind of want him to get the diamond since it's sort-of supposed to be his anyway.
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Doug's view of Bullet-Tooth Tony as 'a liability' doesn't seem entirely fair, since he's pretty much a paragon of [[The Ace|efficient,]] [[The Stoic|understated]] [[
* [[Irish Travellers]]
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: Brick Top probably received his nickname ''before'' his hair went grey.
Line 112:
** Sol, Vincent and Tyrone are hired by Boris to rob Frankie as he's putting a bet on at the bookies under cover of robbing the entire establishment. They sit outside for hours waiting for him to show up... completely unaware that he was in the van they rear-ended as they arrived and was knocked unconscious by the collision.
** {{spoiler|Tommy and Turkish, the only two main characters who were not involved in the diamond plot and had no idea it even existed, end up acquiring and profiting from it.}}
* [[Jerkass
* [[Kick the Dog]]: There's no real reason to dislike Avi until he gives a certain command involving a dog. Bricktop is also seen killing two [[Mooks]] and brutalizing dogs early in the film to establish him as a villain amongst villains. When he order the burning of Mickey's caravan with his mother still inside, he crosses a [[Moral Event Horizon]].
* [[Knuckle-Cracking]]: Tony does this, but Mickey takes the cake. He spends most of the fight against Gorgeous methodically cracking his entire skeleton, before [[Curb Stomp Battle|laying him out with one punch]].
