The Usual Suspects: Difference between revisions

* [[Diabolical Mastermind]]

* [[The Ending Changes Everything]]: This trope was formerly called the Usual Suspects Ending.

* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: How Kobayashi blackmails the Suspects.

* [[Everyone Is a Suspect]]: Who's Keyser Söze?

* [[Lost in Translation]]: In-film example. {{spoiler|The Hungarian translator the cops get, who speaks it with a strong American accent and thus isn't a native, mishears one word he translates as "package" instead of "guy" because it's native Hungarian slang. The sentence thus reads "We picked up a package" instead of "We picked up a guy".}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: {{spoiler|Keyser Söze is speculated to be German or Turkish. Kaiser, a homonym of Keyser, is the German word for emperor, and Söze means "talks too much" in Turkish, making Keyser Söze "Emperor Talks Too Much," a hint that he is "Verbal" Kint, who says he's accused of talking too much.}}

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: Some early trailers for the film implied that the main characters, in a combination of self-preservation and [[Even Evil Has Standards|horror at Keyser Söze's activities]], were banding together to take him down.

* [[Obfuscating Disability]]: {{spoiler|Verbal Kint}}
