17	!!''The Paleface'' contains examples of:
18
19	%%* AbsentMindedProfessor
20	* BabiesEverAfter: Subverted. That would seem to be the obvious payoff to a title card that follows a kiss and reads, "Two years later," but instead it shows Buster and his girl still in their clinch (making it the longest screen kiss ever).
21	%%* BoundAndGagged: Just the first part.
22	* BurnTheWitch: Or in this case, the first white man to dare show his face.
23	%%* ChaseScene
24	%%* TheChiefsDaughter
25	%%* ClothingDamage
26	%%* CorruptCorporateExecutive
27	%%* DodgyToupee
28	* TheDoorSlamsYou: Variation -- the door is forced off its hinges and Buster is trapped beneath it.
29	%%* DressingAsTheEnemy
30	* {{Fanservice}}: Buster's bare arms as he makes the asbestos suit.
31	** Also arguably the rival tribe wearing little more than {{loincloth}}s (having lost a game of {{strip poker}}, according to the intertitle).
32	* FiremansSafetyNet: Improvised with an Indian blanket.
33	* FlayingAlive: Subverted with the {{dodgy toupee}}.
34	%%* FriendOrFoe
35	%%* ImprovisedParachute
36	%%* InjunCountry
37	%%* MightyWhitey
38	%%* NoEscapeButDown
39	* OutOfTheInferno: Courtesy of the asbestos suit.
40	%%* RopeBridge
41	%%* SoftWater
42	%%* StandardHeroReward
43	%%* TapOnTheHead
