Line 36:
* [[The Brute]]: Ivan.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Lawnmower, of all things.
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: Everyone swears to the point of absurdity. Even emergency room nurses are screaming, "Live, you fucking whore!"
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: As a person who is forced to make do with whatever he can find every day, Hobo has a talent for this. He wields his own walking stick as an effective bludgeon, {{spoiler|weaponizes his savings in a sock and incapacitates Ivan by electrocuting him with a toaster}}.
* [[Cool Car]]: Drake's sons drive around in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1 Bricklin SV-1].
Line 45:
'''Dirty Cop''': We're all dirty cops! }}
* [[Dragged Off to Hell]]: {{spoiler|Slick}}.
* [[The Dragon]]: Though at first they seem like [[Co -Dragons]], Slick quickly proves more pivotal to the plot, wanting to become a [[Dragon Ascendant]].
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Drake to Slick. Not so much for [[The Unfavourite|Ivan]], though.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The eponymous hobo is never named; He even shows up in the credits as "hobo."
* [[Evil Duo]]: Slick and Ivan. Then later, the hitmen Rip and Grinder, a.k.a. The Plague.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Drake and sons, as best exemplified in the first seven minutes wherein they execute Drake's brother in broad daylight with a passionate speech. Drake even ''dances'' on occasion.
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: He's a hobo... with a shotgun.
* [[Facing the Bullets One -Liner]]: {{spoiler|We're taking a car ride to hell, ''and you're riding shotgun!''}}
* [[The Faceless]]: Rip and Grinder, aka the Plague, whose faces are never seen beneath their metal armor.
* [[Finger Damage]]: Severely to {{spoiler|Abby}} near the end of the film.
Line 81:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Rip lights a match for the Hobo to have a smoke during his confinement by The Plague.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Gregory Smith, who's best known for playing rebellious but good-intentioned teenagers (in ''[[Small Soldiers]]'' and ''Everwood'') as [[Complete Monster]] Slick.
* [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]:
** "I'm making a Citizen's Arrest."
** ''"I'm gonna sleep in your bloody carcasses TONIGHT!"'''
* [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner]]: Actually not very common in the movie, but used to great effect in the finale.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: The Plague, a pair of contract killers who encase themselves in metal armor, live in a castle and have some sort of giant tentacle monster as a pet. They also apparently killed Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Charles Darwin, and ''Jesus''.
* [[Rain of Blood]]: A woman [[Squick|strips and dances in it.]] And it's in the first seven minutes!
Line 100:
* [[Vader Breath]]: Grinder, of The Plague.
* [[Vigilante Man]]: The Hobo. It takes him some time, however, as he does the first half of the movie doing nothing when atrocities happen right in front of him.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Ivan, who is constantly demeaned, compared to Slick. {{spoiler|He's eventually shot for it.}}
** Slick however is this ramped [[Up to Eleven]] because he wants to prove himself a [[Bigger Bad]] than his [[Big Bad]] dad.
*** Not only that, but Drake actually encourages Slick to be a bigger bad than him.
