*DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: Crow, who takes an interest of becoming a triad enforcer upon learning of Sam Lee’s past, after living a dull life as a betel nut seller. Even before meeting Sam, Crow have always dreamed of becoming a triad leader someday.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Yeung, the night after being brutally assaulted and raped by Boss Kui and his mooks to intimidate Crow. When Crow reaches her home, he finds her dead in her bathroom, having [[BathSuicide slashed her own wrists in the shower]]. ]]
* FaceFramedInShadow: The film’s very first shot is literally Lee Sam’s face being partially hidden in the shadows of his prison cell, as he awaits his impending release.

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: At the end of the film, Crow is among the final survivor of the airport shootout, and is pointing his pistol at Boss Ah Kui, the BigBad, just as the police arrives and points guns at them both. Deciding that he’s done for either way, Crow ultimately puts a bullet into Ah Kui’s forehead, prompting the police to open fire on him, where he dies seconds after killing his sworn enemy]].
