Line 32:
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Lil' Ze
* [[Cycle of Revenge]]
* [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be
* [[Dirty Cop]]: Instead of arresting Zé Pequeno at the end, the cops rob him of his jewelry and turn him loose again.
** There are also scenes in the beginning where the police kills innocent bystanders by accident, then simply shrug and plant false evidence on them.
Line 38:
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Somehow it falls on this. On the infamous [[Sadistic Choice]] scene, Meirelles, the director wasn't getting the appropriate acting from the crying child, so the pedopsychologist found out that the child's greatest fear was of having a toothache, and she told him to imagine that he has a toothache in the foot.
** Except for two professional actresses (Angélica's actress was just starting and eventually played a major role in ''[[I Am Legend]]'', for example), almost all of the actors were actual children from the favelas (Brazilian slums).
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Mané Galinha (Knockout Ned), to the point of becoming an antagonist.
* [[Gang-Bangers]]: The street gangs in Cidade de Deus are of the drug-wealthy but definitely lower-class variety.
Line 59:
* [[Montages]]: Many.
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The City of God is a pretty terrible place, and certainly doesn't come across as holy.
* [[Only Known
* [[Pet the Dog]]: The only good thing about Li'l Zé is that he actually gives a rat's ass about his friend Bené. He gives Buscapé the camera because Bené would have wanted it. And he leaves Carrot (Cenoura) alone because he's friends with Bené. Doesn't make him any less of a monster.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: Have we already mentioned the scene where Zé meets the child gang for the first time?
Line 65:
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: Tiago and Bené (to some degree).
* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You]]: [http://spa.fotolog.com/photo/10/40/65/dadinho/1220786320653_f.jpg Lil' Dice] in the poster. [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/10/CidadedeDeus.jpg His entire gang] in this one.
* [[Sex
* [[Dub Name Change|Subtitle Name Change]]: Many:
** Buscapé (Firecracker) to Rocket
