10 | !!Contains examples of: |
11 | * AfraidOfNeedles: Snorting heroin? No problem. Shooting it? ''Hell no!'' |
12 | * AndThenWhat: Cheyenne's hunt for the Nazi war criminal is derailed by the question: ''And what are you going to do when you find him?'' |
13 | %%* AsHimself: [[Music/TalkingHeads David Byrne.]] |

15 | * BrokenBird: Cheyenne, who blames himself for [[spoiler: the suicides of two of his fans.]] |
16 | * ContemplateOurNavels: A defining trait of Cheyenne's dialogue, with many of his lines coming across as an oddly passive aggressive IceCreamKoan. |
17 | * DeadpanSnarker: Cheyenne. He's more soft-spoken than most, but just as snarky. |
18 | * FishOutOfWater: Cheyenne, just about everywhere he goes, and the source of most of the comedy in the film. |
19 | * FreudianExcuse: Cheyenne and his father haven't spoken in thirty years, and Cheyenne is convinced that his father did not love him. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope This is ultimately subverted.]] His father loved him regardless.]] |
20 | * {{Goth}}: Cheyenne, of the Gloomy variety. |
21 | * IHaveNoSon: Cheyenne's father responded this way when, at age 15, Cheyenne started wearing make-up and being a Goth. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] Cheyenne only realises that his father still loved him regardless after his father's death.]] |
22 | %%* {{Manchild}}: Many people point out that Cheyenne is one, and he does certainly come across that way. |
23 | %%* NaziHunter: The main character seeks to become one. |
24 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Cheyenne is basically [[Music/{{The Cure|Band}} Robert Smith]] if he hunted Nazis. |
25 | %%* RefugeInAudacity: The film is practically made of this trope. |
26 | * SignificantWardrobeShift: At the end of the film, Cheyenne appears without his dark / rocker appearance, instead with his hair cut short and wearing a track jacket. |
27 | * TitledAfterTheSong: The title derives from a Music/TalkingHeads song, which is performed twice in the film, once by Cheyenne and once by David Byrne. |
