* ReassignedToAntarctica: A variant. At the end of the film, as the Warden sits on the beach and contemplates [[IronicEcho the flower he just crushed]], an underling informs him that the Attorney General wants to see him in Washington as soon as possible. Since the end title informs us (correctly) that Alcatraz was closed within a year of the escape, we can assume the Warden, uh, accepted early retirement.

* {{Fingore}}: Doc protests the revocation of his painting privileges by lopping off three of his fingers with a hatchet.
