* RousingSpeech: "Once more unto the breach" would be a really famous RousingSpeech, if it weren't overshadowed by the ''other'' RousingSpeech in the play, the St. Crispin's Day speech right before battle at Agincourt. After the Earl of Westmoreland wishes that they had more men, Henry disagrees. He says that anyone who doesn't want to fight can go home, that having a smaller army means each of them will have greater glory, that every man who fights with him will be his brother, that in years to come everyone who fought on that day will show their scars and brag, while those men home in England will be jealous of them. In the film, Branagh goes for the gusto, giving an extremely passionate delivery of the famous speech, which named a trope. From the film (a shortened version of Act IV, scene iii, lines 18-67):

* ComicallySmallBribe: The Dauphin's envoy sends Henry a coffer, offering to exchange its contents for England dropping its claim to all their holdings in France (which at some points in history up to that point were larger than that of the King of France's) and the French throne. Exeter opens the coffer to find it is full of tennis balls, which only makes Henry's resolve to wage war to enforce his claims on France greater.

** The scene of Harry telling his men to kill the French prisoners is cut, likely because it would seem... less than heroic for the King to order a war crime. (For context, in the actual battle this order was given because Henry saw the French massing for a new attack, and feared the prisoners overcoming their guards and starting another fight in the rear of the still-outnumbered English army. There's good reason to believe the order was mainly an intimidation tactic and very few prisoners were actually murdered.)
