* HandCannon: Boggs' revolvers most definitely qualify. Cooper's [[CoolGuns compensated Sig P220 Sport]] looks the part, but it's actually chambered in .45 ACP (the compensator makes up much of the bulk).

* SpeakingUpForAnother: Downplayed. Sarah is unused to the cloak and dagger world she's found herself in, and she has concerns about Marvin's sanity after Frank introduces her to the reclusive man.
--> '''Sarah Ross:''' [talking quietly about Marvin] Wow. This guy's insane.
--> '''Frank Moses:''' Well, he thought he was the subject of a secret government mind control project.
--> '''Marvin Boggs:''' [in another room, checking files] This'll take a minute.
--> '''Sarah Ross:''' Sure.
--> '''Frank Moses:''' As it turns out... he really was being given daily doses of LSD for 11 years.

* HazyFeelTurn: [[spoiler:Cooper may be ruthless and ambitious, but he's more of a DesignatedVillain and an UnwittingPawn than anything else. Throughout the movie, his loyalties never actually change. Sure, he is first seen casually planting evidence before faking a man's suicide, but we're never given anything to actually indicate his target was a ''good guy''[[note]]Besides, everyone knows that "Don't you know who I am?!" is something only bad guys ever say.[[/note]]... much like Frank before his retirement.]]

* NotTheIllnessThatKilledThem: When Cooper and the CIA have the retirees surrounded at gunpoint in the woods, [[spoiler:Joe volunteers to step outside of the house first, knowing full well that the agents are going to open fire instead of arresting them peacefully. Despite objections, he insists on making the HeroicSacrifice to give everyone else a chance to get away]], because he knows that his pancreatic cancer is only giving him a few months left, and [[FaceDeathWithDignity he's just waiting for his life to end at this point anyway]].

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


* RevealingCoverup: Bonus points for being a cover-up ''of'' a cover-up. [[spoiler:In 1981 a young Army officer snapped and massacred an entire village in Guatemala. A number of CIA agents, including Moses, were shuttled in to clean up the mess. Now, some 30 years later, a young reporter named Stephanie Chen has gotten wind of the thing, and tries to get the scoop from someone else who was involved, arms magnate Alexander Dunning (Dreyfuss). ''He'' calls the young Army officer -- Vice President Robert Stanton -- who panics and just decides to KillEmAll. (Again.) And this brings us back to Frank and Sarah. All of this is revealed to be a ruse because Dunning was planning to make Stanton the president and use the incident to blackmail him. Any surviving witnesses to the original incident (Frank, Joe, the people the reporter talked to) had to go because they knew too much.]]
