Line 9:
=== ''[[The Shadow (Film)|The Shadow]]'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Absent -Minded Professor]]: Margo's father, Dr. Reinhardt Lane.
* [[All -Star Cast]]
* [[The Atoner]]: Lamont's work as the Shadow is so he can atone for the suffering he caused as the ruthless drug lord Ying Ko.
* [[Big Applesauce]]: Justified in that Shiwan is also here to test himself against Lamont, and if at all possible, get him to change sides.
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: One of Shiwan's guards willingly falls to his death rather than be captured by the Shadow.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: Lamont ''knows'' he's a bad person and struggles with his dark side (which manifests as The Shadow, who does bad things for good reasons), while Shiwan Khan is a brutal megalomaniac bent on total world domination.
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: Llama cigarettes, an obvious parody of Camel.
* [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]]: The scene in the Chinese restaraunt ends with Shiwan and Lamont trying to shoot each other, only to have the bullets collide in midair. They both stare at the bullets for a moment afterward, as if even they think it's cool.
** Actually, more like dumbfounded.
