Line 21:
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Devereaux warns his superiors that martial law is a bad idea but when commanded to do so, he does anything and everything to eliminate the threat.
* [[I Am the Trope]]: Near the end of the film:
{{quote| '''William Devereaux''': [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|I am the law]]. Right here, right now, ''I am the law!''}}
* [[Invisible President]] - Strangely subverted. Newsreel footage of Clinton appears at the beginning of the film, and his portrait hangs in in Denzel Washington's office.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Devereaux
Line 27:
* [[Post Nine Eleven Terrorism Movie|Post 9-11 Terrorism Movie]] - Subverted, or rather an amazingly literal example of an [[Unbuilt Trope]].
* [[Prison Rape]]:
{{quote| '''Hubbard''': You know what they do to new girls at Ryker's Island?<br />
'''Kraft''': Mmmmm...Yum. }}
