| 3 | !!This film provides examples of: |
| 4 | * AffablyEvil: Wendy. |
| 5 | * BankRobbery: Several times, with Hearst involved. Implied to be the SLA's primary source of funding. |
| 6 | * DamselInDistress: Averted. The movie (save one brief expository scene near the end) presents Patricia's point of view exclusively, and the SLA allowed her (and, therefore, us) access only to news that suggested there was no real effort to rescue her. |
| 7 | * DarkMessiah: Cinque. |
| 8 | * {{Dramatization}} |
| 9 | * ExternalCombustion: The SLA bombed a police car at one point.[[note]]In real life, the SLA planted several car bombs but none exploded.[[/note]] |
| 10 | * LaResistance: How the SLA thought of themselves. |
| 11 | * OutlawCouple: Teko and Yolanda. |
| 12 | * PottyFailure: Patricia wets herself when she's finally found and arrested. |
| 13 | * ScaryBlackMan: Cinque. |
| 14 | * TheSeventies |
| 15 | * SinisterSilhouettes: The SLA members appear this way to Hearst while she is kept in the closet. |
| 16 | * StockholmSyndrome |
