Line 8:

{{tropelist}}
* [[The Big Bad]]: Capone, even after he is incarcerated, remains the puppet master.
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Delivered in typical hard-boiled fashion, Ness uses these with enough subtlety to avoid [[Narm]].
Line 34:
* [[You Look Familiar]]: typically of the era.
* [[Agree to Disagree]]
* [[At the Opera Tonight]]: Robert DeNiro as Al Capone is seen attending an opera when Frank Nitti comes up and whispers the news that {{spoiler|Jim Malone had been killed}}.
Line 119:
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Al Capone beats one of his goons to death with a bat.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Subverted when the senior member confronts a villain who framed him. The villain tries to resist with twin tommy guns. However, the idiot doesn't realize that given how heavy the gun type is, he can't even keep them level and so doesn't do much more than shoot up the floor in front of him with a lot of noise. For his part, the Untouchable simply shoots the villain with two carefully aimed pistol shots.
** In the 1980s version, 'George Stone' has two guns on him at the train station when they separate. Stone notices Eliot has run out of ammunition, charges in, and passes Eliot one of his own pistols.
