** While on his way to kill Limbo, the next henchman up the chain, Nels listens to a radio presenter ask who the greatest quarterback of all time is: John Elway or Peyton Manning. Nels replies "Elway". Later, having beaten Limbo senseless, Nels seemingly spares him only to turn round [[LifeOrDeathQuestion and ask Limbo the same question]]. Limbo also says "Elway", but Nels kills him anyway.
* EmbarrassingLastName: Nels **Coxman**. Multiple characters crack jokes about it behind his back, or remark about how unfortunate it is, and it even becomes a plot point: the two characters who blow his identity to Viking can only provide his surname, because it stuck out so much to them that they forgot his first name.

** White Bull, in turn, never tells Viking that the Native American they murdered was his own son, or that he will only accept "a son for a son" in response. Granted, Viking would never have paid that price, but instead, he assumes he can pacify White Bull by killing Dexter and having Sly present him his head. This not only gets Sly killed as well, but also [[spoiler:provokes his lover Mustang into betraying Viking's gang to White Bull, leading to the climactic shootout in which Viking and a dozen others are killed]].

** The Eskimo tells Viking that he was hired by a man named Coxman, but doesn't give his first name. Viking assumes it's ex-gangster Brock "Wingman" Coxman, and the terminally-ill Wingman is happy to take the fall to protect his brother. Only much later in the film does Viking learn that there's ''another'' Coxman.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Pretty much ''all'' the conflict between the two gangs could have been averted if they'd actually taken the time to discuss the situation with one another. To wit:
** Viking never tells White Bull about his missing men, or asks whether he's responsible. He just ''assumes'' he was responsible, based on nothing more than racism, and immediately orders one of White Bull's men to be killed and strung up in retaliation, with no explanation as to ''what'' they're retaliating against.
