* BondVillainStupidity: Smaug spots Bard trying to shoot him down with arrows and descends to gloat that he is unstoppable while staying still enough to be a target for Bard's black arrow.

* ClockPunk: The extended edition shows that the dwarves of the Iron Hills have invented some sophisticated spring-driven weapons -- ballista bolts that splay open mid-flight to deploy four spinning blades, and the repeating crossbows mounted on their chariots which are operated by a hand crank and have reloadable magazines.

* CowardiceCallout: When Alfrid is caught in the act of trying to avoid going into battle by disguising himself as a woman, one of the women outright calls him a coward. When Alfrid tries to make the excuse that not every man is brave enough to wear a corset (while ignoring the fact that his disguise doesn't come with a corset), the woman says "You're not a man. You're a weasel."

* BuffySpeak: The Iron Hills dwarves counteract the volleys of arrows that the elves fire at them with ballista-launched projectiles that spin like windmill blades, breaking the elvish arrows up in midair. Dáin only ever refers to these weapons as "the old twirly-whirlies". The production team for the movie admit that they couldn't think of a better name for them.
