* CarChase: Well, yes, duh.
* CarPorn: Many of the cars on the list get this treatment, particularly Eleanor.

* CoolCar: '''Eleanor.'''
* DisneyVillainDeath: Calitri.

* GeniusLoci: Eleanor is apparently both sentient and vindictive.
* HelloAgainOfficer
* HeroAntagonist[=/=]SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Castlebeck and Drycoff.
* ICallItVera: Eleanor.

* JustifiedCriminal: Memphis.

* VillainProtagonist: Memphis.
* TheVoiceless: The Sphinx.

:: : [--Of course, moments later, he does correctly identify Castlebeck's van as a police surveillance van...--]
* InvisibleWriting: Memphis (Creator/NicolasCage) and his crew use this to hide a list of target cars, from Detective Castlebeck. The writing is only visible under "black light".

** Just to clarify, the name is just as alleged. Memphis assigns Eleanor to any 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500, and that he's previously attempted to steal them before. When the introduction of Eleanor scene takes place, it's mentioned that Memphis flip one and drove one off a pier.

* ThreatBackfire: At the climax, Calitri gets ready to shoot Detective Castlebeck and Castlebeck tries to talk him out of it by telling him that becoming a CopKiller would make things a lot harder for him. Calitri makes clear how few shits he gives by telling Castlebeck that getting a policeman's funeral, TwentyOneGunSalute and all, will be "the best day of [Castlebeck's] life" as the camera zooms in on his tightening trigger finger. [[BigDamnHeroes It is then than]] Memphis [[HeyYouHeymaker blind-sides Calitri]] and [[DisneyVillainDeath tosses him off the catwalk]].

* WatchThePaintJob: Don't make Eleanor angry. You won't like her when she's angry.

Also featured are Creator/AngelinaJolie as "Sway", Robert Duvall as "Otto", and former professional soccer player Creator/VinnieJones as "Sphinx".

Also featured are Creator/AngelinaJolie as "Sway", Robert Duvall as "Otto", and former professional soccer player Vinnie Jones as "Sphinx".

* CarChase: [[CaptainObvious Well, yes, duh]].

* ArtisticLicense: Police don't generally engage in high speed chases in city, better to just tail from a distance and have air support follow.

The film concerns "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage), a former master car thief forced to return to his former trade and steal fifty specified cars for crime boss Raymond Vincent Calitri (Creator/ChristopherEccleston), who is threatening to kill Memphis' brother, Kip (Giovanni Ribisi), because Kip had taken a contract but failed to fulfill it (a stolen Porsche Carrera was chased to Kip's warehouse and the collected cars were impounded).

* Artistic License: Law Enforcement procedure - Police don't generally engage in high speed chases in city, better to just tail from a distance and have air support follow.

* StuntDouble: Averted, as Cage did most of his own stunt driving. He even continued to pursue it as a hobby after the film was completed.

** Something of a MythologyGag, referencing a tiger found in one of the Cadillacs, foreshadowed by a tiger's paw tattoo on a woman who looks just like [[Series/ThreesCompany Suzanne Summers.]]

* TooDumbToLive: Kip's crew of young car thieves, who due to inexperience and youthful arrogance threaten the whole heist at several moments by acting stupid and belligerent, like carjacking a car full of heroin that wasn't even on the target list.

:: : [--Of course, moments later, he does correctly guess that the van he remembers being parked elsewhere is a surveillance van...--]

Of course, afterwards, he does correctly guess that the moved van is a surveillance van...

* InformedAbility: The movie does a good job of making all the car thieves look cool and masterful in action, but at the point Memphis is preparing to steal the first of the Mercedes, we have only Detective Castlebeck's word that:

-->'''Homicide detective''': Raymond Calitri is going down for ''murder''.

JurisdictionFriction: Within the LAPD. Detectives Castlebeck and Drycoff, who are investigating Calitri for auto theft, have their files on him confiscated by Homicide and are told to stay away from him.
