* JerkSue: There's no denying his honesty and courage, but Dick Tracy can be quite arrogant and brutal in his treatment of suspects - particularly when he waives their constitutional rights out of sheer spite.

* NightmareFuel: the general freakish nature of most of Tracy's rogue gallery, where with the exception of the Breathless Mahoney (who [[spoiler: designed the Blank costume/persona to wear so that she could go around killing people without anyone suspecting her]]), the costume designers went overboard to portray all of Tracy's villains as the grotesque looking freaks they were in the comics. Even Big Boy Caprice.

The setting is a Chicago-like city sometime in the early 1930s. Detective Dick Tracy (Beatty) is the most dogged plainclothes cop on the street, dividing his time between punching out [[{{Mook}} mooks]] and making sure young delinquents get sent to the orphanage. A new challenge to his authority soon emerges in the form of up-and-coming gang boss Big Boy Caprice (Al Pacino), who unites all his former rivals into a citywide gangland coalition. Now Tracy's only hope in foiling Big Boy's schemes lies with nightclub singer Breathless Mahoney, who is prepared to help the detective....for a price.
