9	----
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.]]
14	* BestServedCold: Cheyenne's revenge mission is this, [[spoiler: literally.]]
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.
