* AdaptationalHeroism: [[DownplayedTrope To an extent]]--the Knoxes are hardly "heroes"; still, Stone's film has them moralizing (eventually calling out Gayle for his antics) and expressing regret for some of their actions. The AbusiveParents angle also provides sympathy of sorts for them. None of this is in Tarantino's original script, which has the couple as something of a dark {{Deconstruction}} of the ''Film/BonnieAndClyde'' concept.
* CopKiller: Mickey and Mallory kill plenty of cops during their crime spree and escape. This causes many instances of PoliceBrutality directed towards them once they're captured.
* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: They are technically a family after "marrying" on a bridge and murder together. [[spoiler:Mickey and Mallory end their killing sprees after they decide to settle down and have kids.]]

** Mallory steps barefoot on a cigarette and shows no sign of pain, this symbolizes how much she has been removed from being a "normal" human being.
* UnholyMatrimony: Mickey and Mallory are a married couple that go on a cross country killing spree over the course of the movie.
* VillainProtagonist: Obviously, the Knoxes, but even the people assigned to their capture have their villainous moments; Jack Scagnetti strangles a prostitute to death for seemingly no reason.
