{{quote|'''Eli:''' Sorry, [[Chekhov's Gun|I didn't see it]].}}
* [[Captain Obvious]]: The commercials boast "[[Gary Oldman]] makes a great villain!" from the critics.
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Eli is not impressed when Carnegi offers his brothel girls in an attempt to recruit him; one could surmise Eli has sworn off sex much like a priest would.
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Subverted. The chainsaw wielder gets a few good swings against Eli (hitting only air, but impressive for a bulky weapon), but still gets the thing knocked out of his hands and stabbed to death.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Carnegie is shown playing chess with his wife while manipulating his adopted daughter to do his bidding.
Line 114 ⟶ 115:
* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: Just as someone is about to rape Solara, something else goes right through his pants. No, [[Right Through His Pants|not like that]]. [[Groin Attack|More like this.]]
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: "Ring my Bell" by Anita Ward, for any number of reasons.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Carnegie is obsessed with getting the one remaining actual Bible, despite successfully leading his cult with a phony one, no matter how many men he has to lose in the attempt. Worse, when he ''gets'' it, he discovers that he can't even read it, because it's in braille, and is still obsessed with killing Eli out of revenge.
* [[Super Senses]]: Eli.
* [[Survival Mantra]]: "Stay on the path."
