* BigBad: Tony Burton, the drug boss trying to push into J.J.'s territory.
* DirtyCop: Tony's informant on J.J.'s operations is a corrupt police lieutenant who works for any criminal who can pay him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: J.J. will pimp girls out and impose protection rackets, but selling heroin is over his line due to the damage it does to the community as a whole.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Tony has bosses, but we never see them.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: J.J. sees his life of crime as this, with his lack of other socioeconomic opportunities being his entire motivation.
* TheMentor: J.J. was taught everything he knows about crime by Nate Williams, the crime boss of the area.
* TheMockbuster: Of ''Film/TheGodfather''.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Tony takes advantage of the connections a judge's son has to have him deliver heroin shipments for him.
