Line 117:
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: The Saints all smoke, [[Everybody Smokes|as do many other characters]]. [[Word of God]] says that during the Il Duce firefight in the first film, they needed to put a cigar in Billy Connolly's mouth because he [[Trigger Happy|would not stop smiling.]]
* [[Throw-Away Guns]]: Il Duce's signature gun vest.
* [[TourettesTourette's Shitcock Syndrome]]: The bartender Doc. There has been some attempt at realism here, though. Doc has motor tics as well as verbal ones, and his verbal tic is preceeded by a period of stuttering.
* [[Twin Tropes]]: Connor and Murphy are fraternal twins, though they don't fit many [[Twin Tropes]] besides [[Twin Telepathy]] (which is the only way they could have the same dream in both the first film and the sequel, and a mild variant of [[Different As Night and Day]].
* [[Ultimate Job Security]]: Arguably Detective Greenly, who is somewhat incompetent compared to Smecker (and even Dolly and Duffy to an extent). However, he is only shown as being bad at making theories, not at ''everything''. Also, Greenly claims in the second film that he, Dolly, and Duffy have put away half the guys that are in prison. While he was obviously exaggerating, the other characters wouldn't hesitate to [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|take the piss out of him]] if it was a total lie.
