Line 29:
* [[Complete Monster]]: Well, Milton, being [[Satan]]. One of his cruelest acts is probably {{spoiler|the brutal rape of Kevin's wife}}.
* [[The Corrupter]]: "Free will. It's like butterfly wings: once touched, they never get off the ground. No, I only set the stage. [[More Than Mind Control|You pull your own strings.]]"
* [[Cross -Melting Aura]]
* [[Deep South]]: The movie opens in Gainesville, Florida. Or rather, a small rural town that looks nothing like the actual, modern, skyscraper-encrusted college-town that is the real Gainesville, Florida, but does look like a one-horse hick town in the middle of nowhere, which was probably the point.
** Apparently the producers wanted Reeves' character to be from a small rural town and picked Gainesville, Florida off of a map at random, not realizing that "small rural town" does ''not'' describe Gainesville, and hasn't for about a hundred years. The [[American Civil War|Civil War]]-era "courthouse" where the trial was taking place is actually in a one-stoplight town some thirty-two miles east of Gainesville, for example; the courthouses in Gainesville proper are all modern, multi-story buildings.
Line 61:
* [[Les Yay]]: In the elevator.
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]}}
* [[Married to Thethe Job]]: Before he signs on with Milton, Kevin is heavily invested in his career and his wife is just as enthusiastic about it. Afterwards, well...not so much.
* [[Meaningful Name]] / [[Lou Cypher]]: John Milton refers to the author of ''[[Paradise Lost]]'', the original [[Sympathy for Thethe Devil]] poem.
* [[Not Even Bothering Withwith the Accent]]: Reeves starts off his performance affecting a passable Southern accent, appropriate for Lomax's Florida background. It vanishes rather quickly, though that may simply be the ''character'' deliberately hiding his accent to avoid getting mocked for it.
** It comes back the more angry he gets by the end.
* [[Obvious Second Choice]]: Evidently the filmmakers wanted to end the film with "Sympathy For The Devil" By [[The Rolling Stones]]. It would seen they had to settle for less appropriate "Paint It Black". It doesn't work.
