Line 19:
{{quote| '''Macleane''': Still swinging both ways, Rochester?<br />
'''Rochester''': Jamie, I swing ''every way''. }}
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Rooting for the two rather unscrupulous highwaymen -- other than the fact that [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|they both turn out to be not quite so unscrupulous after all]] -- is certainly made a lot easier by the fact that the people who they steal from are pretty much uniformly complete and utter dickwads.
* [[Badass]]: Will Plunkett.
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Macleane's love of excess and playing the rich boy start to get the better of him.
Line 26:
* [[Black Comedy]]: Along side the light humoured stuff, there's some pretty grim humour too.
* [[Dances and Balls]]: A brief but no less elaborate ball is held midway through the movie.
* [[Defiant to Thethe End]]: Despite {{spoiler|the fact Macleane is about to be wrongly sentenced to death for murder}}, he regrets only one thing. And lets the Lords, Ladies and Judge watching know it.
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Macleane'''}}: I am guilty of one thing for which I am heartily sorry. Namely {{spoiler|cheating my friend and fellow highwayman}}. A man who has more nobility of soul, in his little finger, than any of you bloated bastards have in your entire bodies.}}
* [[Duel to Thethe Death]]: In the form of 'Pistols at Dawn' {{spoiler|subverted in that neither Chance nor Plunkett die. Chance cheats to avoid death whilst Plunkett is only wounded}}.
* [[The Dung Ages]]: The peasantry are shown to live in some pretty flithy and harsh conditions, which is likely accurate for the very poor of the time. In deliberate [[Gorgeous Period Dress|contrast]] to the nobility and filthy rich.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Plunkett's dying partner falls victim to this, courtesy of Chance.
