Line 38:
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: {{spoiler|Teddy Daniels}}.
* [[US Marshal]]
* [[Was It All a Lie?]]: And a decidedly cruel, sad version of it, because for once {{spoiler|"[[The Mole]]" was actually doing it for the protagonist's own good}}.
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Chuck/Lester}}''': I'm genuinely sorry about that ... I never wanted to leave you feeling betrayed ... You have to believe me. <br />
... <br />
Line 69:
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Most assuredly not always present, but still packs a wallop at {{spoiler|the ending, with the "peaceful" shot of the lighthouse. The [[Here We Go Again|previous scene]] makes clear [[Body Horror|what will happen to Laeddis there]].}}
* [[Herr Doctor]]: Played with. Dr. Naehring is undeniably German (although [[Fake Nationality|played by a legendary Swede]]), but his accent is much lighter than required by the trope.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Titanic|Jack Dawson]] and [[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind|Stan]] are investigating an insane asylum run by [[Species|Xavier Finch]], where [[The Seventh Seal|Antonius Block]] works. Oh, and [[Watchmen|Rorschach]] is also an inmate.
** [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Film)|Casey Jones]] is a mad arsonist.
*** He used to be a [[The Prophecy (Film)|former priest turned Los Angeles homicide detective]].
Line 100:
* [[Twist Ending]]: A truly nasty one, too.
* [[Weapon Stomp]]: Done very nastily. {{spoiler|The nazi reaching for the gun had blown his cheek off in a suicide attempt and was lying on the floor bleeding out. He reached for his dropped gun to try again, only to have the protagonist step on it and drag it away.)}}
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|"You don't have a partner, Daniels. You came alone."}}
** {{spoiler|"Your name is Andrew Laeddis. The sixty-seventh patient at Ashecliffe? He's you, Andrew."}}
** {{spoiler|"Honey?... Where are the kids?" "They're at school." "...It's Saturday. School's not open on Saturday." '''"My school is."'''}}
