* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "That! Hockey! ''PUNK!''"
* RedOniBlueOni: The two eponymous villains. The former is loud, talkative, takes pleasure in sadistically tormenting and murdering his victims, and has a backstory of being burned by fire, while Jason is cold, emotionless, quiet, and disinterested in anything but pursuing his victims, and has a backstory of drowning in water.

Added DiffLines:

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: A grimly realistic portrayal of this with minor character Gibb and her [[DomesticAbuser abusive boyfriend]] Trey. From the opening of the film he does nothing but insult and emotionally abuse his girlfriend, and still treats her like crap even right after they’ve had sex. Gibb while fully aware of his douchery still can’t help but love him, but thankfully is free of him when Jason pays a visit to her house and makes Trey an AssholeVictim. Though Gibb becomes a grief-stricken BrokenBird as a result.


Added DiffLines:

* BigNo: Freddy Krueger does a hilarious version of this when he finds himself caught on a piece of construction equipment and being dragged [[OhCrap straight toward a thoroughly pissed-off Jason]].


Added DiffLines:

* BloodKnight: Freddy Krueger, aside from tormenting poor teenage girls, noticeably finds joy in fighting someone who can match his kill count and savagery. Jason on the other hand is so emotionless he doesn't care two ways about it as he stomps Freddy's ass in.

* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: Both villains use the other's primary weapon against him during their climactic battle. First Freddy cuts off Jason's fingers and takes his machete, allowing him to finally inflict some serious damage on him. Then Jason returns the favour by ripping off Freddy's arm and impaling him with his own claws.

Added DiffLines:

* NotWearingPantsDream: An early draft for the movie (one of the ones available for view [[http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/site/films/freddy-vs-jason/freddy-vs-jason-scripts here]]) features a scene of the female protagonist having a dream wherein she has to give a report to her class, only for an overpowered fan to start blowing her clothes off, leaving her completely naked just before the teacher turns into Freddy and attacks her.


Added DiffLines:

* PinballGag: When Freddy and Jason are in the dream world, Freddy causes Jason's body to fly through the air around his boiler room, bouncing off of various pipes and tanks with pinball-machine sound effects accompanying every carom. Eventually, the action stops, causing Jason to drop straight back down to the floor and Freddy to say "Aw. Tilt."


Added DiffLines:

* PoliticallyCorrectHero: Kia, one of the heroine, responds to Freddy Krueger's bigoted remark about her being black by calling him a homophobic slur.


Added DiffLines:

** Similarly, Linderman pulls a HeroicSacrifice earlier in the film got punched across the Room right onto something sharp.

* KillItwithWater: Freddy is able to finally break through the unstoppable resolve of Jason Voorhees by tapping into his innate fear of water (brought on by being a drowning victim in life).


Added DiffLines:

* LecherousLicking: There's a scene where pre-dead Freddy licks a photo of a little girl he just murdered, reminding the audience that he was creepy even before he became extra-crispy.


Added DiffLines:

* LittleMissBadass: Lori, (played by 5'1" Creator/MonicaKeena) pulling Freddy out of the dream world, setting a dock on fire, and killing him with Jason's machete. By the end she is one of the most kickass {{Final Girl}}s in either series (and the hottest).
* LivingShadow: Freddy Krueger plays with this trope by projecting his shadow to attack a potential victim; however, because Freddy's still recovering from his time [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly deprived of Springwood's fear and belief]], the shadow passes clean through the teenager without harming him.


Added DiffLines:

* LustObject: Lori Campbell is still in love with her old boyfriend Will and Linderman has a clear and innocent crush on her, but two other men have less than affectionate interests in her. Blake clearly has a sexual interest [[AbhorrentAdmirer and Lori doesn't reciprocate]]. [[DirtyOldMan Freddy Krueger]], meanwhile, attempts to satisfy himself with her in non-consensual ways, from forcefully kissing her with tongue to potentially rape her at the end before killing her.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Masquerade}}: The adults of Springwood have established a Masquerade concealing the existence of Freddy Krueger from the town's young people, to deny him the fear that allows him to harm people through their dreams. Those already aware of Freddy's existence are drugged with Hypnocil to prevent them from dreaming, and are confined in a mental hospital, cut off from the outside world.
* MasqueradeParadox: The adults of Springwood, including the Sheriff and other authority figures, have established a Masquerade concealing the existence of Freddy Krueger from the townspeople. Since Freddy [[DreamWalker attacks people in their dreams]], preventing anyone from knowing of his existence is a damn effective Masquerade, as it would then be impossible to dream of him. Those already aware of Freddy's existence are drugged with Hypnocil to prevent them from dreaming and are confined to a mental hospital, cut off from the outside world.
* MedicateTheMedium: People know enough about Freddy and what he can do that experiments on drugs that put people to sleep but keep them from achieving REM state (which is where science says "dreams" occur, and thus where Freddy strikes) are being done. Unfortunately, Freddy destroys said experimental drugs before any of the protagonists can obtain them... and they also discover that the experiment's staff has overdosed multiple people, putting them on permanent comas.


Added DiffLines:

* MidfightWeaponExchange: A drawn-out example features in the climax. Jason gets the upper hand on Freddy, but Freddy manages to turn the tables by slicing off Jason's fingers, making him lose grip on his machete which Freddy uses along with his claw to beat Jason to a pulp. While grappling, Jason rams his severed stump into Freddy's torso, who retaliates by slowly driving Jason's machete into him. The heroine and her boyfriend manage to blow up a gas tank which sends both of them hurling into Crystal Lake. Just when they think it's over, [[spoiler:they're approached by Freddy who's still wielding Jason's machete. Before he can kill them, he's run through with his own severed claw arm by Jason, who then topples back into the water. Lori then uses Jason's machete to finish off Freddy by decapitating him]].


Added DiffLines:

* MutualKill: While not a kill, given who the characters are, the spirit of the trope is invoked. After Jason runs Freddy through with his own severed arm, Freddy sneers and sinks Jason's machete into his body.


Added DiffLines:

* NonchalantDodge: At one point Freddy sends several [[GasCylinderRocket unstable propane tanks flying towards Jason]], who makes absolutely no effort to dodge them — he just keeps walking forward and doesn't even seem to notice them whizzing by.

* FlamingSword: When Jason attacks a rave, one of the teens throws grain alcohol on him, then lights it with a torch -- which results in a '''flaming''' unstoppable killing machine. His machete also ends up covered in flames. Every time he swings it, it leaves a wake of fire behind it.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* FreudWasRight: Kia decides to try this on Freddy by comparing his tiny knives to Jason's great big machete. A few seconds later, Kia meets said machete.


Added DiffLines:

* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Freddy Krueger needs people to fear him to be able to infiltrate their dreams, so he became powerless when the inhabitants of Springwood systematically eradicated any trace of his existence. He uses Jason as a pawn to reinvigorate the locals' belief in him so he can return.
* GodzillaThreshold: The teenagers wanted Jason, the guy that killed 20 of their friends, to win the fight against Freddy — if only because Jason would go back home, since he has no other reason to be in Elm Street. These kids also save Jason from drowning in a dream.


Added DiffLines:

* GovernmentDrugEnforcement: All of the teenagers in Springwood take hypnocil whether they know it or not. This is meant to keep them from dreaming so that Freddy cannot attack them. Unfortunately, Jason is also along for the ride.

Added DiffLines:

* HeadTurnedBackwards: Jason Voorhees snaps the neck of a {{Fratbro}} partying at the cornfield party, twisting his head 180 degrees.


Added DiffLines:

* IronicFear: Jason Voorhees is revealed to be deathly terrified of water, due to him drowning as a child. A fair enough reason in-and-of itself, if not for the fact that his murders often involve him having to wade through/being thrown in large bodies of water. Supplementary material dealt with this by saying it was a ''deeply'' buried fear, so buried only Freddy could reach it. Otherwise, he sees water as something to kill people with.

* DragonInChief: By the beginning of the film, Freddy has lost his powers and is trapped in hell, so he disguises himself as Pamela Voorhees, and manipulates Jason into killing the children on Elm Street, thus reviving fear of Freddy Krueger and allowing Kruger to regain his powers. However, Jason won't stop killing, so Freddy ended up with a rival to contend with.
