!!Property of a Lady features the following tropes:
* ActionizedSequel: This film has a somewhat greater proportion of action scenes then Diamond's Cut. More importantly, those scenes have all improved relative to the original.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When M gives his lecture about their duty to the crown, he says that they eventually become property of the lady and stay that way unless they get stolen. Bond takes this time to ask: “Sir, were you stolen?”
* TheBadGuyWins: The film ends with [[spoiler: Bond captured, his girlfriend shot and in hospital and new M turning traitor without anyone aware of it]]. Of course, this would no longer be the case if a Threequel is produced.
* CarChase: Two of them, one where Bond uses a stolen car, and another where he follows on a motorcycle. For real-world reasons, both occur well within the speed limit.
* CoolShades: One of the unnamed villains sports them.
* DistaffCounterpart: Bond’s primary motivation in the first film had been revenge for M’s death. Here, he’s ambushed by the mistress of the villain he killed in the first film for no reason other than revenge.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Bond is ambushed at night by the partner of the villain he killed in the first film. There’s even a video confession of her crying and wanting to avenge his death.
* {{Flashback}}: One occurs in the middle of the film as Bond is left alone and remembers the old M before he was killed.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Averted with M: after his death, Bond grieves for him and considers his mission to be that of revenge. This isn’t forgotten in the second film, either.
* JustAFleshWound: One of the minor villains is shot in the leg, and not only doesn’t bleed out, but manages to walk about 15 min. later in the film.

* TemptingFate: One of the captured mooks refuses to talk, saying that they will be released from prison in a few years’ time on minor charges, and so have no reason to cooperate. Cue M deciding things require a more radical approach.
* TitleDrop: This line by the new M: “When we give it all to the service, we become property of the lady.”

This film features the following tropes:
* ArmsDealer: Two of these act as secondary villains in the movie. Even though they sell firearms, they apparently aren’t trained and didn’t even bother to bring any guns the first time Bond encounters them. [[spoiler: One eventually gets throttled to death with a fallen branch, but the other survives by being too late to arrive to a fight, thus setting up a potential sequel.)]]
* BangBangBANG: Averted. Guns fire pretty quietly in the film, assuming, of course, that they fire at all.
* BloodlessCarnage: Virtually any fight is this because of the budget limitations, but this is especially prominent during the [[spoiler: M’s death]] not only is there no blood spilt, as camera lingers over his body, but the window remains absolutely undamaged when it should by rights have been broken by the sniper’s bullet.
* BondVillainStupidity: It’s a Bond fan film, so of course it would be in there.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The credits’ scene, which makes it look cool in spite of the budget limitations.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Australian MI6 agent and Bond’s supposed informant]].
* HammerSpace: Terrorist sniper at the beginning of London scene uses a laser sight. Try as hard as you might, there is no way you’re going to find it on his rifle, probably because the actual effect was obtained through the use of laser pointer.
* HandWave: The reason for the BigBad M seems to be this: apparently stealing oil from other companies and passing off as your own [[SarcasmMode totally warrants]] [[IdiotPlot sending one of your agents to England to assassinate the head of British Secret Service]].
** Also, how does Q know to send Bond straight to Adelaide city in Australia, which is conveniently where the film took place? Simple; he looked at the bullet and found a special indentation only used by the two arms dealers in that place!
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Lara Brooks. As an employee of traitorous MI6 agent, she was originally going along with his plan, but eventually rescued Bond from allegedly certain death.]]
* HollywoodDarkness: Somewhat averted; it is genuinely dark when 007 switches off the lights to take the terrrists in the opening scene by surprise. The resultant combat is therefore mostly shown through the security cameras feed.
* InstantDeathBullet: Pretty much the way every gun works in that film, with the exception of [[spoiler: double-crossing informant]], who was wounded in the leg by Bond before finally getting shot to death.*
* ImprovisedWeapon: Somewhat overlaps with environmental kills, as 007 kills two final villains with sticks lying around: the [[spoiler: arms’ dealer]] gets throttled with a fallen tree limb, while final villain gets [[{{Squick}} stabbed through the stomach with a branch]].
** Also, the chase scene at the supermarket earlier. The second arms’ dealer is running away and Bond would need a car to catch up, but he doesn’t have one. So what does he do? He picks up a shopping trolley and rides it downwards to catch up while staring directly at the camera as the Bond music is played out loud. This is PlayedForLaughs taken UpToEleven.
** Terrorists throwing empty boxes at Bond, which he catches and throws back even as they both have guns.
* LawofInverseRecoil: Seems to be present, although guns are fired too rarely to be really sure. One could consider the arms’ dealer missing Bond with his pistol at point-blank range as either an aversion of this or plain [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy]] at work.
* LaserSight: Used by the terrorist sniper in spite of his weapon [[FridgeLogic already possessing the optical sights on it]]. It only seems to be there [[RuleOfDrama to add drama]] to [[spoiler: M’ death]].
* JustShootHim: The viewer might be tempted to swear at their screen as in most engagements both parties will carry guns and have numerous opportunities to use them, yet ignore them to stretch out the fight and pad out the running time.
** And like any canon Bond villain, the antagonist of this piece will also leave 007 alone instead of just shooting him.
* LetsSplitUpGang: The main villain [[TooDumbToLive inexplicably does this]] with his henchmen twice, even though all of them carry guns and [[FridgeLogic would have easily been able to gun down Bond]] as he first appears at point-blank range.
* RememberedTooLate: The second Arms Dealer. [[spoiler: Apparently, he only survives because of that.]]
* StyrofoamRocks: The boxes thrown between Bond and terrorists are obviously empty and wouldn’t hurt anyone, especially when both Bond and terrorists have guns.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: The “destruction” of Munich terrorist facility seems to intentionally go for the Camp factor with what seems like a really bad photoshop. Absolutely nothing collapses and the only signs of destruction are little tongues of flame with thin tendrils of smoke at the forefront.

This film features the following tropes:
* ArmsDealer: Two of these act as secondary villains in the movie. Even though they sell firearms, they apparently aren’t trained and didn’t even bother to bring any guns the first time Bond encounters them.
