Line 16:
* [[Bank Robbery]]
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Would be a [[Downer Ending]] if not for [[Reality Subtext]]
* [[CIA Evil, FBI Good]]: FBI evil, local cops good.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Cazale was in his 30s when he played Sal, who in [[Real Life]] was barely out of his teens. Lumet didn't want to cast Cazale at first due to the obvious age discrepancy, but Cazale gave too good a performance.
* [[Downer Ending]]: Bank robbers or not, the story ends tragically both in real life and fiction.
Line 27:
* [[Real Life]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Detective Moretti, who attempts to reason with Sonny and stop the beat cops from turning the situation into another Attica.
* [[Remember the Alamo!]]: "Attica!" and possibly also "Out of the closet and into the streets!"
* [[Sympathetic Criminal]]: Wortzik.
* [[Throw It In]]: Much of the dialogue was ad-libbed or improvised, most notably "ATTICA! ATTICA!" Al Pacino also didn't know that John Cazale was going to say "...Wyoming?" when asked what foreign country he wanted to escape to, and his reaction is genuine.
