Line 40:
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: [[Lampshaded Trope|Played with]] and [[Subverted Trope|subverted]]. Whatever the Caller's motives for his actions, it had nothing to do with his childhood upbringing, which he says was quite happy.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Just about everything the Caller says. It's what makes up most of the movie.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Keifer Sutherland's voice is ''very'' recognizable. {{spoiler|It becomes [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] at the very end.}}
* [[I Can See You]]
* [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]]: Stu uses this as his excuse as to why he's cheating on his wife.
Line 64:
* [[Split Screen]]
* [[Suicide By Cop]]: The cops suspect Stu of attempting this, and actively seek to defy it. Of course they're [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] as Stu doesn't want to commit suicide, he's being held hostage.
* [[Take Me Instead!]]
* [[Technology Marches On]]: Acknowledged [[In-Universe]] in regards to the booth. The film got stuck in [[Development Hell]] back in the 60's when phone booths were far more common. They were pretty dated by the time it came out. The film admits its the last one in New York, and the reason Stu uses it is because he's a married man cheating on his wife using it to call his mistress, and his wife checks his cell phone records.
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Averted. They went out of their way NOT to acknowledge that Kiefer Sutherland is the Caller, but when the movie came out to video and DVD, they slapped the actor's face and name on the cover front and center. This was probably due to his role on ''[[Twenty Four|24]]'' both times.
