* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:The film ends with a standoff between a main character and a cop, each pointing a gun at the other's head. The camera pushes past both of them, there's a gunshot, and the film ends.]]

** The first "non-archive footage" image of the film is Saïd opening his eyes to the sound of a gunshot; [[spoiler:the last image is Saïd closing his eyes to the sound of a gunshot.]]
** The first and last lines of the film are from a narration by Hubert on how it's {{not the fall that kills you}}, even when someone tries to calm themselves. At the start, he derives this message from a story about a man falling from a building; [[spoiler:at the end, he instead says that society is falling and trying to reassure itself.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Abdel is declared dead, and it's built as an opportunity for [[CharacterDevelopment Vinz to learn from his vengeful ways]] — until he dies a pointless, [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace completely accidental]] death at the hands of a plainclothes officer, a microcosm for the wider downward spiral of French society through hostility into meaningless violence. This leads to a MexicanStandoff between him and Hubert, and while it's not made clear who was on the receiving end of the single gunshot we hear, it's evident that someone has died for no substantial reason.]]

* VertigoEffect: In a scene half-way through the movie, the three stand on a bridge or rooftop, and the street behind them goes through the Vertigo Effect.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Where did that Cow come from? Where did she go?

As he falls, he tries to reassure himself by repeating: "Jusqu'ici tout va bien... jusqu'ici, tout va bien... jusqu'ici, tout va bien." [[labelnote:translation]]"So far, so good." ("Until here, all goes well", [[BlindIdiotTranslation literally]])[[/labelnote]]. [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou It's not the fall that matters. It's the landing.]]"'']]

* PoliceBrutality: A particularly brutal [[CycleOfRevenge vicious circle relationship]] between the Paris police and a group of teenage thugs from the local banlieues. The police raid the deprived banlieues, the people who live there fight back, which means the police crack down harder on the area, which means the people start rioting... [[spoiler:It eventually culminates in the police shooting an unarmed teenage boy, and one officer and the boy's best friend holding guns to each other's heads. And then the screen goes to black and a single gunshot is heard. End of film.]]

* ShaggyDogStory: The three pals can't make any sense of the old man's story about what happened to him on the way to Siberia.
* SignsOfDisrepair: The pals see a poster saying LE MONDE EST À VOUS (The world is yours). One of them uses a spray can to overwrite the V with an N, leading to LE MONDE EST À NOUS (The world is ours).

* TitleDrop: Hubert says "La haine attire la haine!" ("Hatred breeds hatred")
