* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Abel at the end.}}
* [[Bad Cop, Incompetent Cop]]: While Abel (played by Samuel L. Jackson) is harassing the Mattsens, the rest of the police force turns a blind eye to his actions until it's too late.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: The final scene. {{spoiler|Chris knows Abel can use his influence to get the cops on his side if he surrenders, so he taunts Abel about his late wife's affair until Abel commits [[Suicide By Cop]].}}
* [[Black Gal On White Guy Drama]]: Basically what this movie is all about.
Line 23:
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: The event that ultimately drove Turner to focus his rage on the young interracial couple is revealed to be the death of his wife, who was killed {{spoiler|in a car accident while on her way to meet her white boss... who she was ''having an affair'' with}}.
* [[Dirty Cop]]: Abel Turner is shown to be a man who won't hesitate to break the rules to get whatever he wants, whether it's at home or on the job.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]]: Averted. In one of the most disturbing scenes in the movie {{spoiler|Abel has his friends hold down Chris while he's sexually assaulted by a stripper. When his wife finds the video in her mailbox the next day, she knows damn well Chris was assaulted.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Lisa's father is [[Firefly|Book]]!
* [[The Informant]]: Clarence Darlington is a small time drug dealer and Abel Turner's informant.
* [[Maligned Mixed Marriage]]: Abel's harrassment towards Chris and Lisa Mattsen, played by Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington is based on his racist attitudes, and the fact that they're a mixed race couple.
