* BloodOath: Joked about between the Indian and Chips. Since Chips gave the Indian blood, he asks if they're "blood brothers" now, and the Indian quips "Not until I give you some back!".

Removing as there's no mention of an oath to be siblings (not enough context).

* MalingeringRomancePloy: When Pockets falls from a fence, Brandy rushes to him and calls him "baby" in concern. He pretends he's passed out, then "wakes up" and pretends he's in pain, so she'll keep fussing over him. Later, when Kurt and Chip - who got really injuried earlier that day, when their car that went over - come looking for some ice, they learn that there's not any left, because Brandy took it all to use it in ice bags and drinks for Pockets.

* AllForNothing: Luis tells a story about one of their most difficult captures, an unusually tall giraffe. It ends with him revealing that after all that, they had to let him go, since he was too big to transport to Mombasa.
* BadassDriver: Kurt and Pockets are in charge of the vehicles and have to whip across rough terrain at high speeds with rapid turns to catch animals. Kurt is an former racer who drives the herding jeep, while Pockets is a former cab driver who has the heavier and slower catching truck.



* HeCleansUpNicely: The entire team is very impressed when Luis shows up for the season's end party in a full tuxedo, with one person even wolf whistling and Kurt and Chips asking if he's got extra suits.



* RaceForYourLove: with the baby elephants used as sniffer dogs.

* RaceForYourLove: In the finale, Sean chases Dallas to the airport, with the baby elephants used as sniffer dogs.


Added DiffLines:

* SleepsInTheNude: Luis makes a joke about it when meeting Dallas. Pockets is introduced wearing just the top of his pajamas, and Kurt jokes that he wears the other half. Luis completes it by saying he doesn't wear pajamas at all.


Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: Dallas decides to ride in the bed of the pick-up truck for the first capture, even though Sean warns her it's a bad idea unless she's used to it. She's unable to stay standing and is tossed off her feet repeatedly until Luis tells her to sit down and hold on. She sticks to the cab after that.
--> '''Dallas''': I like to be where I can move around.
--> '''Sean''': Oh you'll move around, all right.
* ThatWasntARequest: Dallas introduces herself to the group and asks to become a part of their team for the season so she can take pictures of the captures, and Sean turns her down for not being experienced enough. She then reveals that she's from the zoo that's buying most of their animals for the season, which has added photographs of captures as a stipulation of their contract. She was just offering because it would be easier for everyone if they wanted her.


Added DiffLines:

* WrestlerOfBeasts: Downplayed. Luis is a former bullfighter who puts those skills to use in subduing the animals captured, but he's directing a team, not doing it himself.

However, he does admit that he'd be more comfortable with a man in her position, if only because a man is more likely to have the experience (shooting, hunting, being to Africa) that he'd prefer.


Added DiffLines:

* NaiveNewcomer: Dallas, who has never been to Africa before, hunted, or lived in the bush. It's one of the reasons Sean isn't comfortable with her being there.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Tsundere}}: Sean's behavior to Dallas fits the bill. Later [[DiscussedTrope explained]] by Pockets to Dallas, the recipient of Sean's cold shoulder:
-->'''Pockets''': If a man falls for a woman and gets his fingers burned, so he won't be singed again, what does he do?
-->'''Dallas''': I don't know. Tell me.
-->'''Pockets''': If he doesn't like you, he doesn't care and he can be nice to you; but if he ''does'' like you, he doesn't want to get in any deeper, so he acts mean. The more he likes you, the meaner he acts. Doesn't that make sense?
-->'''Dallas''': No.

Howard Hawks decided not to use a plot for the movie, instead letting the characters develop and tying it together with BookEnds. The cast mostly averts FakeNationality (except for Sean and Luis. The Indian is also played by an American, but not [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans a Native one]]), and as a result a lot of the actors aren't on this wiki. Check Wiki/TheOtherWiki for details.
