* AssholeVictim: Lee Harvey Oswald, everybody. The HospitalGurneyScene ends with the Parkland staff wheeling Oswald into Trauma Room Two because they don't want to treat him in Trauma Room One where Kennedy died. When Perry briefly thinks that they might be able to save Oswald, he says "We might get to keep this one," only for someone else to answer "Do you want to?".
* DestroyTheEvidence: On the orders of his boss, Agent Hosty burns his file on Lee Harvey Oswald as well as the note Oswald had left for Hosty at the office. In RealLife this incident has been fodder for conspiracy theorists ever since.
* DiesWideOpen: Kennedy's face is never shown but Oswald's is, staring sightlessly upwards from the operating table.
* DisturbedDoves: Pigeons flap upwards at Lee Harvey Oswald's sad funeral.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Almost all of them, right down to Abraham Zapruder's secretary who was there with him as Zapruder took his famous film.
* HospitalGurneyScene: Both JFK and Oswald are dramatically wheeled through the hallways of Parkland.
* InvisiblePresident: John F. Kennedy, Jackie Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson. The film never shows the face of the actor playing JFK. LBJ's face is only shown once, when he refuses to leave Dallas without Jackie. Jacqueline Kennedy is shot from behind or with her head out of frame, except for one time when she's show right after her husband flatlines, and even then her face is partially obscured by her hair.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Lee and Robert Oswald's mother Marguerite (Jacki Weaver) is shown to be an epic narcissist. When her son Robert meets her at the police station she says "Well, you finally found me!" Throughout the weekend she's preoccupied with how much money she's going to get from the tragedy.
* LonelyFuneral: As in RealLife, the only people to show up for Lee Oswald's funeral are his mom, brother, and wife (and his two baby daughters). Robert Oswald has to get reporters at the scene to help him carry the coffin.
* MagicalDefibrillator: Played straight, with the Dallas doctors using a defibrillator on a flatlining Lee Oswald, complete with dramatic "clunk" noise and Oswald's body violently jerking off the gurney. Only averted when Oswald does not revive movie-style.
* ManlyTears: Abraham Zapruder bursts into tears when he finally meets up with his wife after a very eventful day.
* OhCrap: Just about the Oh Crappiest OhCrap movie that ever Oh Crapped. Some standout OhCrap moments include a close-up on Abraham Zapruder's face as he watches the President get murdered, and the horrified reaction in the Dallas FBI office when they realize that not only did they have a file on Oswald, he had visited their office just ten days previously.
-->'''Zapruder''': They killed him!
* PinkMist: Yes it definitely can happen when one is shot by a high-power rifle bullet. Abraham Zapruder and the people who watch the freshly developed UsefulNotes/ZapruderFilm all gasp in horror when John Kennedy's head explodes into PinkMist.
* ReflectiveEyes: The UsefulNotes/ZapruderFilm is first shown reflected in Abraham Zapruder's glasses as he watches in horror, right after the film is developed.
* StockFootage: Peppered with stock footage of Kennedy's trip to Dallas and the aftermath of the assassination.
