* MenOfSherwood: In the climax, the miners, including lots of extras, nearly wipe out the (mostly) experienced Baldwin-Felts strikebreaker, mainly due to having better cover and being ready for a potential fight. They win very decisively, but, as a CurbStompCushion, four miners are killed or wounded due, three due to shooting without taking proper cover, and [[spoiler: union organizer Joe and the mayor are also fatally shot in the crossfire]].

* BadassPacifist: Kenehan mentions encountering these while he was in Fort Leavenworth military prison during UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, after he sees Few Clothes carrying a gun. They were Hutterite (similar to the Amish-Kenehan calls them Mennonites here mistakenly) conscientious objectors and refused to cut their beards or wear clothes with buttons when they got into prison, as this was, along with bearing arms, against their religion. The guards then punished them by handcuffing them to the cell bars for eight hours a day, but even though it made the cuffs cut into their wrists, causing wounds, then eventually gangrene, they never broke, and kept tearing off the buttons with their teeth. He says he's never seen any braver men, and they were there because they ''refused'' to use violence. TruthInTelevision-two Hutterite brothers died there from mistreatment, while many more (from the Hutterites and other groups) suffered as a result of their imprisonment.

Added DiffLines:
* BigBadDuumvirate: Mr. Hickey and [[spoiler:C.E. Lively]] are the Stone Mountain company's primary agents in the town and the most active antagonists in the story.
Added DiffLines:
* BoomHeadshot: Sheriff Hatfielf kicks off the final battle by delivering two of these at point blank range to two of the Baldwin-Felts goons.
Added DiffLines:
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We learn everything we need to know about Griggs and Hickey the second they get off the train. Hickey sidles up to Bridey Mae and puts on his FauxAffablyEvil shtick while getting increasingly touchy and intimidating with her, while Griggs stands off to the side chuckling at everything he says. They're both crude thugs who will use any means to get what they want, and Griggs is a sycophant who follows Hickey's lead on everything.
Added DiffLines:
* KarmicDeath: On the other hand, [[spoiler:Griggs and Hickey]] both die during the final shootout, which was kicked off primarily by their stupid, cruel, and pointless murder of a young boy. [[spoiler:Hickey in particular has a chance to get away from the fight, but stops to try and shoot Danny. This gets him perforated with a shotgun by the mother of the boy whom he's been abusing and threatening to kill for the entire film]].
Added DiffLines:
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Most of the miners are very racist to the black and Italian workers brought in to replace them, which is a big stumbling block for union solidarity that Joe spends much of the film trying to overcome.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Griggs and Hickey both have all the worst prejudices of the time, being racist, sexist, classist, and disgusted with the "mountain trash" they've been assigned to deal with. Hickey in particular acts ''very'' rapey around Bridey Mae the first time he meets her, all while belittling her as a stupid hick.

* TortureAlwaysWorks: The company detectives catch young Hillard Elkins who they know is part of the workers' strike, and try to squeeze the names of the strike leaders so they can "arrest" the leaders and break the union. They torture the poor kid until he starts giving up names. [[spoiler: The detectives kill him anyway, only to find out that the names Hillard gave up [[AllForNothing are all on tombstones in the miners' graveyard]] that the workers had memorized in case they were forced to talk.]]
