Line 18:
* [[Bandito]]: The fake Federales who deliver the film's most famous line (the page quote).
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: "We don't need no stinkin' badges!" The quote at the top of this page is what he actually said.
** Also, Bogey's panhandling line at the beginning of the film ("Say, mister, could you stake a fellow American to a meal?") is usually misremembered as the line from the [[Shout -Out]] gag in the [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] cartoon ''8 Ball Bunny'' ("Pardon me, but could you help out a fellow American who's down on his luck?").
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Dobbs' insanity catches up with him, he dies, and the treasure is lost; rendering 10 months of Curtin and Howard's lives a waste. But Howard gets a nice position as a medicine man, and Curtin may yet get his dream of a nice peach farm.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The burros the group rent. Or rather, their branding marks. {{spoiler|The bandits who kill Dobbs are caught when someone recognizes the mark.}}
Line 30:
* [[Magnificent Moustaches of Mexico]]: The fake Federales exemplify this.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Gold Hat insists on putting his hat back on before {{spoiler|being executed}}.
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Dobbs and Curtin give the foreman of their work crew one of these after he cheats them out of their pay.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Fixing the mountain when they leave, {{spoiler|burying Cody's body, and informing his widow}}.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Humphrey Bogart as a straight-up villain.
Line 37:
** The character of Stinky Pete in ''[[Toy Story 2]]'' is a direct parody of Howard.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Dobbs. Howard {{spoiler|mentions it happening to his comrades before}}.
* [[Sound -Only Death]]: A few: {{spoiler|gold hat, Dobbs, banditos, Bob(altough he doesn't get killed.}}. Justified as it is an old film: they may've been missing special effects, or didn't want to get sensured.
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: Even getting rescued from a mine collapse and then a Gila monster doesn't make Dobbs any less suspicious of his partners.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: It will surprise nobody who pays attention for the first ten minutes to know that Dobbs turns out this way.
