Line 26:
* [[Days of Future Past]]: Aesthetically and technologically (for the most part) the setting resembles the 1940s, with piston-powered planes and machine guns... but then you have flatscreen televisions.
** If you take into consideration that jet fighters and missiles are very expensive and that modern aerial battles are not as spectacular as those in 40s because jets are much faster and thus hard to dogfight in, it's much cheaper to use slow old propeller planes with cheap machine guns that allow fancy dogfights.
* [[Did They or Didn't They?|Did They Or Didn't They]]: There are two scenes where Yûichi and Kusanagi are together that may or may not have ended in sex, but the camera always fades to black before any kind of confirmation, let alone acknowledgement afterwards.
* [[Death Is Dramatic]]: Pitilessly averted.
* [[Diesel Punk]]
Line 43:
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: Kusanagi did this a long time ago.
* [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold]]: So golden you might not realize they're hookers until it's said so well into the movie.
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: "I kill my father", an abrupt revelation that the protagonist is a clone of The Teacher, and that he just kinda figured it out somehow. Also, The Teacher was once the lover of Kusanagi and is the father of her daughter.}}
* [[Ominous Music Box Tune]]: Kusanagi has a big music box in her office that plays the film's main tune, possibly as a [[Shout Out]] to the director's previous work, ''[[Ghost in The Shell]]: Innocence''. It becomes ominous when it plays during Yûichi's realization that something is thoroughly wrong with his existence.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Most of the movie.
Line 61:
** The English dub averts this trope entirely by, of course, having the main cast speak in English all the time and re-dubbing the more [[Engrish]]-y lines with native English speakers.
* [[United Europe]]: The European Confederation, mentioned a few times in the passing, where the film takes place - Ireland and Poland, to be exact.
* [[The Un
* [[War for Fun And Profit]]: The only kind of war that happens anymore.
----
Line 68:
* [[Charge Meter]]: In the form of the Tactical Manuver Command system (or [[TM Cs]]). Since the game has no missiles to speak off, a special guage fills up when you stick close to an enemy. When executed, it plays a small cutscene and positions your craft just right behind your enemy. However, just like missiles, there is the chance that your attacks can still be dodged despite this.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|Look at the nose art of the player character's plane...}}
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Your character eventually becomes The Teacher from the movie.}}
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Orishina
* [[Red Baron]]: The player character. Starts out as "Lynx", gets promoted to "Cheetah" and finally attains legendary status when the enemy fighters nickname him "Black Cat" for his black panther head design in his plane's tail {{spoiler|which he still keeps in the movie, only with a full body version on the side}}.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In the first mission, Ban muses on the short lifespan of fighter pilots. Three missions later, guess who gets shot down?
* [[White
