In a land ruled by tyranny, the [[Vain Sorceress]] and [[It's All About Me|selfish]] Queen Ravenna learns that her stepdaughter, Snow White, is destined to surpass her not only as the "Fairest One of All" but also as the kingdom's future ruler. But then the Queen learns from her Magic Mirror that the only way to remain in power is to [[I Am a Humanitarian|consume Snow White's heart]] and achieve immortality. Snow White escapes into the Dark Forest and Ravenna recruits the Huntsman Eric to find and kill Snow White. Eric, however, takes pity on the young princess and teaches Snow White the art of war. Now, with the aid of eight dwarves and the duke's son William (Sam Claflin), Snow White begins a rebellion to bring down her stepmother once and for all.

* [[Attempted Rape]]: Finn tries to do this to Snow White in prison while she's lying on her bed. However, she strikes his face with a nail.

* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: {{spoiler|Snow White's coronation.}}

* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: William and the Huntsman against an evil, magical flock of ravens.

* [[Badass]]: The Huntsman takes on several soldiers at once in defence of Snow White. The dwarves also kick-ass.

* [[Love Triangle]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. You'd expect one between William, the Huntsman, and Snow White, but it is only implied and never directly addressed, to some people's frustrations and others' jubilation.}}

** {{spoiler|It is speculated that if there is to be a sequel, this would be an important part of the plot, as it is never made clear if Snow White did end up falling in love with the Huntsman or William.}}

* [[Mama Bear]]: {{spoiler|Ravenna's and Finn's mom invoked dark powers to protect her children. But whenever she intended for her daughter to become a monster it is not clear.}}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: This is how Ravenna usurped Snow White's kingdom in the first place. {{spoiler|And she'd already done it to countless other kingdoms in the past, considering her [[Really 700 Years Old|immortality]]...}}

** One of the dwarves starts singing the Disney film's "Heigh-ho" song {{spoiler|while sneaking into the royal castle.}}

** Halfway through her shapeshifting spell, the Evil Queen looks ''exactly'' like [[Harry Potter|Lord Voldemort]].

* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]:

** Early in the film, the Evil Queen walks up to a random prisoner and starts tormenting him with her usual [[Does Not Like Men]] spiel. Instead of politely listening to her ranting, in mid-speech the guy grabs an unsecured dagger from the guard holding him and straight up stabs her in the chest (which gives him more smarts and initiative than 99% of Fantasy genre characters). Sadly, she's enchanted and can only be killed by [[The Chosen One]], and kills the poor guy for his defiance.
