** In retaliation for the above murder, Saddam did more than just beat the tar out of Uday: he also had Uday imprisoned and tortured for several days by guards from different regiments (so that Uday couldn't get revenge against them later), considered having him executed (Uday's mom talked him out of it), and eventually exiled him to Switzerland until the Swiss got tired of Uday and kicked him out--by then Saddam's temper had cooled, and Uday was allowed to return to Iraq.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: After Uday kills one of his most trusted cronies, Saddam marches into the hospital room Uday is held in (Uday attempted to commit suicide by taking too many sleeping pills), rips the tube out of his mouth, hits him several times to wake him up, squeezed his crotch rather viciously, and is only stopped from castrating him with a knife by the doctor's frantic declaration that such an act might kill Uday.

* HookersAndBlow: Basically Uday's entire life.

* ActingForTwo: Creator/DominicCooper, playing both Latif and Uday.

* FakeNationality: Most of the main actors are not Iraqi. (Dominic Cooper is British, Philip Quast is Australian, Ludivine Sagnier is French)

* ActingForTwo: DominicCooper, playing both Latif and Uday.

* FakeNationality: Most of the main actors are not Iraqi. (Dominic Cooper is British, Philip Quast is Australian, Ludevine Sagnier is French)

* InterruptedSuicide. Twice. First Latif takes a lot of sleeping pills then he slashes his wrists.

* ActingForTwo: Dominic Cooper, playing both Latif and Uday.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: While Latif's assassination attempt fails, he does land two shots in Uday's crotch, effectively emasculating him.]] With all he's does up to that point, it is a welcome sight.

* KarmicJustice: [[spoiler: While Latif's assassination attempt fails, he does land two shots in Uday's crotch, effectively emasculating him.]] With all he's does up to that point, it is a welcome sight.

* CompleteMonster: Uday. Even his some of his family seem repulsed by him.

* InterruptedSuicide. Latif slashes his wrists.

* {{Crossdresser}} who Uday has a crush on.

* FoeYay: Come on, you noticed it. Seems to be a deconstruction of Uday's insane narcissism; he's so in love with himself that he needs a spare. Plus all that "I will never let you go; I love you too much" stuff.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Uday has [[{{Understatement}} little love]] for an aide of his father who provides him with concubines, saying he doesn't like seeing his mother an emotional wreck because of Saddam's [[YourCheatingHeart escapades with them]]. He later guts this aide when he has a psychological breakdown of his own.

* HopeSpot: [[ForegoneConclusion You know]] that Uday is going to survive Latif's assassination attempt in the film's ending, and the woman Uday invites into his car even tries to throw off Latif's aim [[spoiler: it's subverted when although Uday survives the attempt, Latif successfully [[GroinAttack fires two bullets into his groin]] leaving Uday in visible, horrible agony, and according to the WhereAreTheyKnowEpilogue credits, crippling him for the remainder of his life and probably leaving him unable to pursue any sexual adventures, consensual or otherwise]].

* CompleteMonster: Oooh boy, Uday, where do we begin? He picks schoolgirls off the street to have sex with them, then kills them and dumps their bodies in the desert, and even abducts a bride from her wedding just to have his way with her. He even cuts a man's stomach clean open just for calling him a faggot.
