** [[The Chick]]: Feathers
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]: Stumpy.
* [[PublicHumble HumiliationPie]]: At the beginning of the film Dude is reduced to begging to pay for his drinking. Then comes the painful moment when one of the saloon's patrons throws a coin for him - into a half-full spittoon! Luckily Chance intervenes before Dude actually picks it out. And of course there will be payback later.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Becomes especially evident as Chance keeps rolling cigarettes for Dude. This evolved during shooting, when Dean Martin asked how come in some scenes Dude was supposed to be fumble-fingered, yet in others he is shown rolling cigarettes.

* [[Rain of Blood]]: Actually just a few drops {{spoiler|dripping into a glass of liquor}}. But it shows where a wounded gunman is hiding.
* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]]: Feathers invites Chance to stay in her room as the [[Big Bad]]'s mooks won't think to look there. She claims that she can sleep in the rocking chair. Later Chance is shown picking her up out of the chair where she has been standing watch and carrying her up the stairs to the rooms. The scene ends and we pick up the next morning with Chance walking down the street and giving a cheery hello to Dude. Later Chance and Feathers have a conversation where both say they are not sorry about what happened the night before.
