* SmallTownBoredom: According to Carmen, Bishop is the ''only'' person in Baker who doesn't wish he was somewhere else. She sites this as the reason [[UntrustingCommunity so many of the townsfolk dislike him]], although part of the reason the town is so boring is Bishop's strict enforcement of the law shutting down anything too fun, including ''a church bingo night''.

!! This film provides examples of:
* TheCaper: Gone wrong, in the backstory.
* TheCasino: Robbed by the CaperCrew in the backstory.
* TheCavalry: A downplayed example at the very end. Bishop is contemplating what will happen to him once word of this gets out (the town now knows about his criminal past, and he himself has killed several people). Then the townsfolk show up, cart away the bodies, and make it clear that they aren't planning to tell anyone what happened.
-->'''Old Man:''' [[UsefulNotes/LasVegas What happens in Baker]]... ain't nobody else's business.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Lampshaded by Doc, the fact that Pike was dying in the desert in exactly the place where the one doctor for miles happened to be stumbling home drunk.
** Also the fact that Pike wound up in the same small town where Cole's ex Carmen lives, then happens to end up in a relationship with her a decade later when Cole shows up.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Bishop refuses to cary one, which everyone comments on.
* EasyAmnesia: Pike doesn't remember the heist or anything about who he was before. He starts to regain his memory in flashes, but he never does remember where the money is.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Stillman and Cole do, Boyd and Kane do not. Cole ultimately allows Boyd to be killed, and kills Kane himself because .
** The bikers are so disgusted with Kane using an innocent (London) as a hostage/human shield
* KickTheDog: Boyd and especially Kane when it comes to hurting innocents. Cole is ruthless, but more restrained and tends to limit himself to threats. Stillman might as well be a good guy for all he does in the film.
* LampshadeHanging: When the crew first hears about Pike's convenient amnesia, their disbelief is likely to mirror the audience's.
* MeaningfulName: "Gabriel Bishop". Doc and Carmen chose it specifically for its angelic implications.
* NameOfCain: Kane. Although he's the more villainous of the two, he's actually killed by his (half) brother Cole.
* {{Retirony}}: Stillman is implied to be ready to forget the $10 million and starts to strike up a relationship with the proprietress of [[LocalHangout the Dry Mouth]]. Guess how long he lives for after that?
* SmallTownBoredom: According to Carmen, Bishop is the ''only'' person in Baker who doesn't wish he was somewhere else. She sites this as the reason [[UntrustingCommunity so many of the townsfolk dislike him]], although part of the reason the town is so boring is Bishop's strict enforcement of the law shutting down anything too fun, including ''a church bingo night''.
* TheWorfEffect: Stillman (played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, famously an action star and one of the biggest names in the film) is killed very quickly by Kane, establishing Kane's ruthlessness and willingness to fight dirty.
