Spelling grammar
(Trivia)
(Spelling grammar)
Line 51:
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Ray and Thomas almost go this way in ''Bound in Blood'' but {{spoiler|William's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] makes him the Abel and ''both'' of them, the Cains, in a way}}.
* [[The Call Knows Where You Live]]: In the original, this is what starts the entire story, appropriately enough with "Call of Juarez" even being written near the bodies of Billy's parents. Since the prequel, ''Bound in Blood'', has been released, however, it essentially turns into a case of [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome]].
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Quite literally. At the beginning of the game, Ray and Thomas kill an entire Company of Union troops atackingattacking their family estate. Later, Colonel Barnsby and his men come by and collect all the rifles off the dead troops. These rifles become a major [[MacGuffin]] later in the game's main plot.
* [[Church Militant]]: Ray in the original game explicitly considers himself the Wrath of God.
* [[Cold Sniper]]: Kim in ''Cartel''. She has a stat proficiency in sniper rifles, cutscenes usually show her wielding a Dragunov, and she frequently [[Deadpan Snarker|snarks]] back to her teammates.
Line 140:
* [[Soft Water]]: Averted.
* [[South of the Border]]: The primary setting.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: In ''The Cartel'', Jessica Stone points out that the anti-Cartel task force is so dysfunctional, and all of its members so obviously corrupt and/or crazy, that it seems like it was intentionally set up to fail. {{spoiler|She's right. Deputy AsssitantAssistant Director Shane Dickson, the head of the task force, is the Cartel's mole inside the U.S. government.}} Yet, despite all that, the 3 crooked cops eventually ''do'' succeed in bringing down the Cartel.
* [[Stealth Based Mission]]: Most missions involving Billy, whereas Ray's are primarily action-heavy.
* [[Stern Chase]]
Line 156:
* [[The Vietnam War]]: Antonio Alvarez, Patrick Stone, and Ben McCall of ''Cartel'' are veterans of Vietnam.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: The second duel in ''Bound in Blood''. There is zero margin for error, and you ''will'' die repeatedly until you learn the duel mechanics properly. This is a huge jump in difficulty compared to the first duel, an old man who's slow as molasses.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Juarez makes this offer to {{spoiler|his son}} Billy at the end of the first game. Seeing as how Juarez recently beat him unconciousunconscious as well as kidnapped his girlfriend and threatened to rape and kill her, Billy isn't remotely interested.
* [[The Western]]: All of it.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Whatever happened to Susie? Ray burns down the bar/brothel where she works to kill all the town thugs, does that mean he also killed her and all the other working girls? [[Anti-Hero|Almost certainly so.]]
