Line 24:
Not to be confused with ''[[The Boondocks]]''.

{{tropelist}}
== In Both Films ==
* [[Anachronic Order]]: One of the reasons it is compared to [[Quentin Tarantino]]. The majority of the movies show investigators poring over the fight scenes first, and [[How We Got Here|figuring out what happened.]] Their narration may or may not be correct due to [[Unreliable Narrator|missing something, or outright lying]].
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Everyone on the side of the brothers.
Line 123:
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: The underground storage bunker that they get their stock from.
==
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Subverted and Lampshaded - the brothers use an air vent to get into the Russian Mobster's meeting, but get lost. They only end up in the right place because they start fighting each other and cause the vent to break through the ceiling, dumping them right into the correct room. Later, Smecker lampshades this, noting that they're amateurs because [[Air Vent Passageway|Air Vent Escapes]] only happen on TV and no pro would try it.
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: In dealing with the Saints, Yakavetta turns to retired mobster Augustus [[Di Stephano]], who works as a bathroom attendant. He is apparently well-connected enough to get Il Duce out of prison.
Line 168:
==
* [[Art Shift]]: The envisioned attack on the Asian drug gang is shot like a grindhouse film, with an appropriate soundtrack.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Concezio Yakevetta, he breaks the jaw of one of his subordinates just because he corrected his pronunciation of a word.
