History Film / Dobermann

* ChekhovsGun: Early in the film, Nat uses a throwing knife to scare Manu is a TwangHello moment. It is a safe bet that most of the audience had forgotten about it when she draws it from under her hair and uses it on a cop during the firefight in the nightclub.

* LaserSight: Manu has a laser sight mounted on his sniper rifle in ''Film/{{Dobermann}}''. The first time it is used, he puts a red dot on Dobermann's forehead at the junkyard, which is just him showing off. However, when the same red dot appears on the rookie cop's forehead during the bank job, the audience knows something bad is about to happen.

* ItWorkdBetterWithBullets: A self-inflicted version occurs with the transvestite who tries to protect Pitbull from the cops, only to realise the cartridges in her gun [[FiveSecondForeshadowing contain drugs instead of gunpowder]].

* RecklessGunUsage: Mosquito is shown to be noticeably lax regarding gun safety. He constantly keeps a loaded gum [[PantsPositiveSafety thrust into the waistband of his pants]]. He pulls the gun at the slightest provocation. He gestures with the hand holding the gun; often waving it in someone's face to emphasise a point. At one pint, he holds the gun upside down and peers down the barrel, despite the fact it is loaded. Manu isn't much better; showing off his new sniper rifle by aiming it at Dobermann's head.

* YourHeadAsplode: The Abbot shoves a grenade inside the crash helmet of the police officer who killed Pitbull's dog. He and then Leo then shove the unfortunate officer out of the car, where he struggles in vain to remove the helmet before his head explodes.

* ByTheBookCop: The Captain is just as determined to bring in Dobermann as Christini. He just wants to it by the book. When his plan fails and Christini is given command of the operation, his disgust at Christini's CowbyCop methods is palpable.

* InspectorJavert: Christini is obsessed with catching Dobermann and his gang and there is absolutely nothing he will not do to take him. The Captain is also determined to catch Doberman but he is a ByTheBookCop who balks at the violent and illegal extremes Christini goes to.

* InterplayOfSexOfViolence: Dobermann plays head games with the armoured car guard by asking him if he wants to sleep with Nat. As he is doing this, Nat salaciously licks the barrel of her shotgun.

* BringMeMyPants: Dobermann and Nat terrify the armoured car guard to the point that he wets himself.

* CuteMute: Nat the Gypsy is a deaf-mute played by Creator/MonicaBelluci. You do the maths.
* GroinAttack: Just be fore launching the assault on Joe Hell, Christini shoots Manu in the groin. In a milder example, Victoria later grabs the junk of the cop who is trying to arrest her.

** Dobermann carries a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 629 as his sidearm throughout the movie. The barrel shroud is used as a rocket launcher that fires minature rocket shells.

* BadHabits: The Abbot is a member of Dobermann's who dresses as a priest. There is no evodence he actually is ordained, although he tries to act like a priest.

* RabidCop: Christini is completely out of control. In one scene he throws a baby across a room and then [[PisyolWhipping pistol whips]] the mother when she tries to go after it.

* HandCannon: Several of criminals favour ludicrously large handguns.

* PottyEmergency: After Joe stops him from snorting cocaine, Manu has a sudden urgent need to take a shit, Joe tells him the bathroom is occupied and sends him outside to to a crap in the river.
