* TheWoobie: Roy. He may be a con artist, but his repressed guilt over his actions is apparently what drives his paralyzing SuperOCD. It gets worse after he meets Angela, as his painfully obvious desire to connect with his newfound daughter causes him to make several very reckless decisions.

* MemeticMutation: A few of Nicolas Cage's lines in this film have become famous as oft-cited examples of Cage's trademark [[LargeHam "Cage Rage"]]. "Hey, have you ever been dragged on the sidewalk and beaten 'til you... '''PISSED BLOOD?!'''" and "Bull ''SHIT'', MON!" are the most notable ones.

* HoYay: Frank often jokingly flirts with Roy, as if he enjoys how uncomfortable it makes him. It doesn't always appear to be entirely unrequited either; when they're parting ways, Roy tells Frank he loves him as they listen to Danke Schoen, [[spoiler:a rather foreshadowy song about how the singer sincerely thanks their lover "for all the joy and pain."]]

* FridgeBrilliance: When Roy asks Dr. Klein for advice on how to deal with Angela, he tells him that the key to dealing with kids is just to "be as honest and open with them as possible". It sounds pretty innocuous, [[spoiler: until we learn that Angela and Dr. Klein are working together to con Roy out of all of his money. With this advice, Klein was subtly telling Roy not to withhold any secrets from Angela, since Frank's plan relied on Roy giving Angela access to his account]].
