* UncertainDoom: A young couple arrives at Cato's house right after he had been shot by Kit, and Kit forces them into a cellar. After locking the cellar door, he fires two shots through a gap in the door.

trope is renamed Prefers Going Barefoot. Dewicking old name


* DoesNotLikeShoes: Holly has a habit of running around barefoot. In her first scene, she's barefoot in her bed, and heads outside just like so. You can tell she has shoes under her bed but she remains barefoot by choice. She spends the start of the movie practicing baton and wandering through her neighborhood barefooted with visibly tarnished feet. What makes her don shoes and socks is when her father gets out some varnish and flicks it at the ground and she squeals when it splatters on her bare feet. She also goes barefoot multiple times while shacked up in the woods with Kit, most noticeable when she dances with him and soaks her feet by the lake. She also doesn't seem to mind being in just socks, as she has her shoes off at rest in a yellow dress while in socks and her shoes are taken away near the end of the movie when she's in custody to prevent her from running away and she doesn't seem bothered with socked feet outdoors when she's marched off to a guarded plane.
