The Usual Suspects: Difference between revisions

* [[Dead-Man Switch]]: Kobayashi lets the protagonists know that if he dies under suspicious circumstances, his boss Keyser Söze will immediately know who did it and take revenge on them and their families. {{spoiler|[[Fridge Brilliance]] of course as Keyser is Kint so it's not just a bluff. He'll know because he's there.}}

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Hockney.

'''Hockney:''' Really? I live in Queens. Did you put that together yourself, Einstein? What, do you got a team of monkeys working around the clock on this? }}

* [[Deep-Cover Agent]]: {{spoiler|Verbal Kint may or or may not be a cover identity. If it's a cover, it goes back at least as far as the original line-up in NYC. Kint also has a criminal history that includes ratting on a drug dealer named Ruby Deamer.}}

* [[Hand of Death]]: Söze's identity is hidden by showing various parts of his body -- his hands, the back of his head -- but never his face, except in a single dark and blurry shot of him [[Unflinching Walk|walking away from a burning building]]. Söze was played in flashbacks by about six different people, including ''three'' members of the main cast ( {{spoiler|Baldwin, Byrne and Spacey}}). One of the other people was Bryan Singer himself. When people ask him who Keyser Söze really is, he always answers, "Me."

* [[He Knows Too Much]]: the one surviving Hungarian from that boat.

* [[Hidden Villain]]

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: McManus pulls off a few impressive shots, notably the one during the jewel heist.

* [[Posthumous Character]]: Most of the characters.

* [[Rabid Cop]]: David Kujan of U.S. Customs:

* [[Red Shirt]]: {{spoiler|Fenster, who actually wears a red shirt.}}

* [[The Reveal]]: Aside from the obvious, there's a rare case where it's mostly inconsequential to the plot. When Kobayashi is rattling off everyone's crimes against Söze, he reveals that {{spoiler|Hockney}} is the one responsible for the heist at the start of the film.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Verbal. {{spoiler|Kujan constantly accuses him of lying, and ultimately Verbal confirms Kujan's preconceived notion that Keaton was Keyser Söze. Of course, Verbal wanted him to think that all along.}} Also, {{spoiler|Kint narrates things he wasn't actually there to see. Unless he was Soze.}}

* [[Urban Legends]]: Keyser Söze himself is one.

* [[You All Meet in a Cell]]
