* NWordPrivileges: Conspiracy Brother (who is black) uses the N-word when talking to Conspiracy Brother, who is also black. None of the members of The Man's white supremacist organization (Mr. Feather, The Man himself, White She-Devil etc.) ever use the word, even though, being out-and-out racists, they logically would.

trope about IU colorism now


-->'''Conspiracy Brother''': "Hi"? What you mean "hi"? Like "[[ButNotTooBlack high-yellow-wanna-be-white]]"? "High" like the ''white man'' wants to keep us? Wait, [[HypocriticalHumor you don't smell no weed on me]], do you?

* RageBreakingPoint: Lance, the Brotherhood's only white employee (and ButtMonkey) accepts all of the jokes at his expense with calmness and mild snark, but at the climax some of The Man's goons call him a "[[BerserkButton sissy]]" and the resulting CurbStompBattle involves Lance murdering the lot of them with moves that are best described as live-action ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' fatalities.

Cross-wicking newly launched trope.

Added DiffLines:

* XRayOfPain: As part of his EstablishingCharacterMoment as a JustLikeRobinHood raider that fights TheMan, the Undercover Brother fights off two security guards of an evil bank and literally puts his foot up the ass of one of them. The movie cuts from the Brother delivering the kick to an X-Ray animation of his foot going up the man's pelvic bone complete with ''Matrix''-style swivel so we can see it from multiple angles.
