It's not really Insistant Terminology if it's only said once. (M&TB keep repeating the "peaceful purposes" line over and over, but the movie does not)

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: One of the recurring riffs in the film sounds exactly like The Jazz Crusaders' ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weoVHTxOr5s Tough Talk]]'' to the point of plagiarism.

Despite all the Watermelon Man riffs in MST 3 K, the song sounds almost identical to Tough Talk, much more than it sounds like Watermelon Man.

Renamed some tropes.
* DeathTrap: The villain's lair at the end has machine-gun cameras mounted on seemingly every surface throughout a ''very'' narrow hallway, yet Fargo somehow manages to take down every one without so much as a scratch. It probably has something to do with them all being identically hidden, with massive blind spots, and they can't be aimed.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Scarface, who Fargo spends the first half of the movie looking for. As soon as he finds him, before he can question him, [[ShaggyDogStory Scarface accidentally hurls himself out a window]] and gets himself killed. Fargo only picks up the trail again because he recognizes Frank when an ambulance comes to take away Scarface's body.
* DisposableWoman: [[spoiler: Mrs. Carver]]. She doesn't even get a first name. Hell, it's arguable if we can even be certain she's [[spoiler: actually married to Carver at all]].
