* ShoutOut: The scene near the end [[spoiler:where we see Verbal's "crippled" foot gradually untwist itself and walk normally as he passes by a succession of tree shadows]] is a visual reference to [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E41TheHowlingMan "The Howling Man"]] episode of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' where we see the released prisoner's human face gradually take on satanic features as he walks under a succession of column shadows.

* RuleOfThree: The Suspects run three jobs as a crew, all with greater and greater consequences. First they rob [[DirtyCop New York's Finest Taxi Service]] and get away clean (and siccing the cops and the press on them to boot). Then they try to rob a jewel smugger (really drug smuggler) where the smuggler and his bodyguards are killed, meaning someone has blackmail fodder on them. Finally, the Suspects raid the boat where they kill dozens of people [[spoiler:and all but one are killed by Keyser Söze.]]

* MeaningfulEcho: [[spoiler:At the end of the movie, during the reveal that Verbal lied about everything, lines from earlier begin to be overlaid. At first it just matches the lies to the facts, but as the tension ramps up, more lines are thrown in, recontextualized with more menace, as it implies every threat or warning by Verbal is actually a boast about his true identity as Keyser Söze. The last line of the movie -- "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist ... And like that, he's gone" -- combines two lines to confirm that Keyser Söze is truly evil, and has escaped once more.]]
