Line 60:
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|Nitti.}}
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]
{{quote| '''Malone:''' You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. ''That's'' the Chicago way! }}
* [[Doomed Moral Victor]]: {{spoiler|The death of Jim Malone.}}
* [[The Dragon]]: Frank Nitti.
Line 87:
* [[Never Bring a Knife to A Gun Fight]]: Malone provides the page quote.
** Also, this memorable line:
{{quote| '''Malone''': Now isn't that just like a wop, brings a knife to a gunfight!}}
* [[Noble Bigot with a Badge]]: Malone is very vocal about his anti-Italian prejudice, but Stone earns his respects.
* [[Officer O'Hara]]: Malone.
Line 105:
* [[Steel Ear Drums]]: The baby in the carriage sequence.
* [[Such a Lovely Noun]]: Frank Nitti threatens Eliot Ness's family in this manner.
{{quote| '''Frank Nitti:''' Nice house.}}
* [[Team Shot]]: See the image up there. Also a in-universe example, the four pose for a family photo in a restaurant.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: No, Mr. Nitti, I don't think it's a particularly good idea to taunt Ness about his partner you murdered when both of you are standing on top of a tall building.
Line 112:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: The leader of the [[Canada, Eh?|RCMP]] calls out the Untouchables' [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique|brutal]] [[Disproportionate Retribution|methods.]]
** Let us note that the guy being brutally interrogated was already DEAD when Malone splattered his brains out. The only person that KNOWS said crook is dead is Ness, being the man who killed him quite thoroughly a few moments ago. That is to say, the RCMP officer fell for it as well as the hood.
{{quote| '''RCMP Captain''': ''I do not approve of your methods.''<br />
'''Eliot Ness''': ''Yeah, well... You're not from [[Crapsack World|Chicago]].'' }}
** Even if the Mountie knew that it was a dead man (since the movie only shows clearly that the reluctant gangster isn't aware that Malone is interrogating a corpse), many would find it a questionable method of doing policework.
