History Film / TheDevilsDouble

* KickTheSonOfABitch: After Uday kills one of his most trusted cronies, Saddam marches into the hospital room Uday is held in (Uday attempted to commit suicide by taking too many sleeping pills), rips the tube out of his mouth, hits him several times to wake him up, squeezes his crotch rather viciously, and is only stopped from castrating him with a knife by the doctor's frantic declaration that such an act might kill Uday.

* AnythingThatMoves: Uday, and he is quite proud of this fact. He even openly admits that he loves boning more than his country, his mother, his father, and even God! In order, he boned (and raped) hundreds of women and young girls, a crossdresser, and it's implied he wants to fuck himself.

* TheSociopath: Uday, obviously. He recklessly abuses everyone around him and treats others as toys. There's also his sexually promiscuous behavior (see AnythingThatMoves), his way of seeing himself as a "national hero", his ability of going on a killing spree for being insulted and his extreme narcissism showed by his obsession with Latif.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Uday hates an aide of his father who provides him with concubines, saying he doesn't like seeing his mother an emotional wreck because of Saddam's [[YourCheatingHeart escapades with them]]. He later guts this aide when he has a psychological breakdown of his own. Though the movie also implies that Uday and Sajida may be [[IncestSubtext a little too close]].

* PostRapeTaunt: When the father of a 14-year old girl that Uday had kidnapped, raped, and murdered comes to the palace to ask for explanation, Uday's "defense" of his actions is essentially to call her a slut and that he gave her a good time before throwing some money in his face. Pretty much the only reason why the man doesn't try to throttle Uday to death there and then is because of [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections the latter's power as Saddam's son]].

* HopeSpot: [[ForegoneConclusion You know]] that Uday is going to survive Latif's assassination attempt in the film's ending, and the woman Uday invites into his car even tries to throw off Latif's aim [[spoiler: it's subverted when although Uday survives the attempt, Latif successfully [[GroinAttack fires two bullets into his groin]] leaving Uday in visible, horrible agony, and according to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue credits, crippling him for the remainder of his life and probably leaving him unable to pursue any sexual adventures, consensual or otherwise[[note]]Except he ultimately was. See ArtisticLicenseHistory.[[/note]].]]

* AxCrazy: Uday.

* DepravedBisexual: Uday. He's mostly shown pursuing sex with women (including underage girls), but he also shows attraction to a transexual, and there are heavy ScrewYourself implications in his fascination with his body double Latif.

* DepravedBisexual: Uday.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Uday.

* IHaveNoSon: More or less--Saddam tells Uday he wishes he had never been born.
** Or rather, that he should have been gelded at birth. [[spoiler: Karma belatedly [[GroinAttack fulfills his wish]] in the ending]].

* {{Narcissist}}: The reason he likes Latif so much.

* PostRapeTaunt: When the father of a 14-year old girl that Uday had kidnapped, raped, and murdered comes to the palace to ask for explanation, Uday's "defense" of his actions is essentially to call her a slut and that he gave her a good time before throwing some money in his face. Pretty much the only reason why the man doesn't try to throttle Uday to death there and then is because of the latter's power as Saddam's son.

* {{Ephebophile}}: Uday picks up/abducts girls outside schools. Later his goons dump their dead bodies in the desert.

* HopeSpot: [[ForegoneConclusion You know]] that Uday is going to survive Latif's assassination attempt in the film's ending, and the woman Uday invites into his car even tries to throw off Latif's aim [[spoiler: it's subverted when although Uday survives the attempt, Latif successfully [[GroinAttack fires two bullets into his groin]] leaving Uday in visible, horrible agony, and according to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue credits, crippling him for the remainder of his life and probably leaving him unable to pursue any sexual adventures, consensual or otherwise]].

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Uday hates an aide of his father who provides him with concubines, saying he doesn't like seeing his mother an emotional wreck because of Saddam's [[YourCheatingHeart escapades with them]]. He later guts this aide when he has a psychological breakdown of his own.

--> '''Sarrab''': Poor Uday. Sometimes I think he wants to fuck himself to death.

* AnythingThatMoves: Uday, and he is quite proud of this fact. He even openly admits that he loves boning more than his country, his mother, his father, and even God!

* RealityIsUnrealistic: The film does a good job depicting Uday's depravity, but it still doesn't even ''come close'' to how horrible the real Uday was.

* FanService: Constant! Two Dominic Coopers. Naked Dominic Cooper. Dominic Cooper cavorting with drag queens. Dominic Cooper whipping shirtless Dominic Cooper.

* EverybodyHasStandards: With a small number of exceptions, a lot of people around Uday are clearly annoyed and/or disgusted by his behavior. To elaborate, his father shows contempt for him, his brother is very annoyed by his outbursts, his mistreated guards eventually look the other way when an attempt on his life is made, and his body double hates him.
