* DeathBySex: Averted with Percival, played straight with [[spoiler:his one night stand]].

* CrusadingWidower: Steve.

* CosmicLotteryWinner: Percival has tried repeatedly to commit suicide, even going so far as to hire a hit man on himself, but he survives a fall from a building onto a car, a savage beating, and three point-blank shots to the head during the course of the movie, plus any number of failed suicide attempts offscreen.

* CulturedBadass: Steven is a big fan of opera and Voltaire

* PrettyLittleHeadshots: Played straight when three gay-bashers are shot in the forehead and go down with little mess. Averted when Percival is shot in the temple, spraying blood all over the wall.

* CrusadingWidower: Steven

* DeathBySex: Averted with Percival, played straight with [[spoiler:his one night stand]]

* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:the evening gown's button]] for Percival
* VillainousCrossdresser: Steve unwinds by putting on [[spoiler:his wife's]] black evening gown and red lipstick.

* Curse: What Percival believes has happened to him as punishment for [[spoiler:accidentally killing Annie]]. With all the ContrivedCoincidence s and failed suicide attempts, it's not hard to see where he's coming from.

* Gender-BlenderName: Chris.

* CursedWithAwesome / BlessedWithSuck: Steve tries to convince Percival it's the former, Percival believes the latter.

* YouKillitYouBoughtIt: One interpretation of the ending; [[spoiler:after killing Percival, Steve seems to have inherited his curse.]]

* CulturedBadass: Steve is a big fan of opera and Voltaire
* CursedWithAwesome: Percival cannot die... no matter how much he wants to.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Steve's response to having his conversation interrupted? Following the guy out and beating him to death with a pint of ice cream.

* MadeOfIron: Percival survives a ''lot'' of things that would kill an ordinary human. It's left him pretty scarred up, though, both physically and mentally.

* PrettyLittleHeadshots: Played straight and averted. Three gay-bashers are shot in the forehead and go down with little mess, while Percival is shot in the temple, spraying blood all over the wall (only to survive with only a missing eyes).
