!Tropes for the film:
* CyanidePill: At the start of the movie, Flame is shown putting two pistols and a cyanide pill in his pockets, before going on an assassination mission for LaResistance. The end of the movie he's cornered in a safe house by German troops, so he takes the pill to avoid capture and torture by the Gestapo. Citron, on the other hand, to [[SuicideByCop out out shooting]].
* DeadlyDelivery: The film opens with this. A woman with a bouquet of flowers (ostensibly sent from his colleagues) gets a collaborator to open the door, then LaResistance shoots him.
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: The title characters sometimes pose as police officers when carrying out their assassinations for LaResistance, thanks to their {{handler}} who's a police solicitor and can get them official badges. This backfires when they dress in police uniforms to assassinate a Gestapo chief only to be arrested on sight, as the Germans are rounding up and deporting all Danish police officers, replacing them with their own collaborationist units.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The title characters are assassins for the Danish resistance, but find their superior is using them to kill people to cover up his own crimes.
* ViolenceIsDisturbing: The movie features some (slightly) romanticized violence, but uses this trope as well.
