* PorkyPigPronunciation: "Did I see you adulterat... adultering... oh, '''spiking''' that [[ProductPlacement Coke]]?" -- although if you listen closely you can hear the actress pronounce "adulterating" ''correctly'' both times. It's possible the character could be realizing the dolt she's speaking to probably doesn't know what the word means.

* TheWatson: Sidney.

* DumbBlonde: The waitress, Karen. On the other hand, she does know what "adulterate" means (even if she [[PorkyPigPronunciation can't quite pronounce it]]).

* PorkyPigPronunciation: "Did I see you adulterat... adultering... oh, '''spiking''' that [[ProductPlacement Coke]]?" Actually; if you listen closely you can hear the actress pronounce "adulterating" ''correctly'' both times. However, the character could be realizing the dolt she's speaking to probably doesn't know what the word means.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Tucker. When confiding with his [[TheWatson main man Sidney]], nearly degenerates into an ExpospeakGag.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What happened to Sidney? That being said, hey, ''someone'' had to drive the car home.

* {{Beatnik}}: The early scenes are set in a bar full of them. MST fans were quite happy that the show finally got a movie with actual beatniks, unlike the one that was erroneously called ''Film/TheBeatniks''.

'''Sidney:''' What's so interesting about Chicago?\\

* TheAlcoholic: Miller, the writer.

%%* ClearMyName

%%* GossipyHens

%%* TheMountainsOfIllinois

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Tucker at the start of the movie. According to him he rarely loses, but only because he makes sure to play against bad chess players - which is why he chooses stupid people to help him with his schemes.

%%* TapOnTheHead

->"My plan hinges on the interesting fact that if you take a train from Los Angeles to New York, there's a four-hour stop-over in Chicago."\\
"What's so interesting about Chicago?"\\
"Any town where you steal a million dollars is interesting."

* PaperThinDisguise: A clean shave and a priest's collar is all Tucker apparently needs to disguise himself as a priest. The episode guide for the MST3K episode notes that the first time the MST3K crew watched the film, it took them all quite a while to realize it was supposed to be a disguise.

!This film contains examples of:

* AlwaysMurder: Leland's death.

** The above exchange is part of a XanatosGambit on Tucker's part; it's fine and good if Leland's staged "suicide" is taken as such, but he's set the evidence up to point to the other henchmen, thus making it easier to get them out of his way.

* {{Beatnik}}: The early scenes are set in a bar full of them. MST fans were quite happy that the show finally got a movie with actual beatniks, unlike the the one that was erroneously called ''Film/TheBeatniks''.

* ClearMyName
* CaliforniaDoubling: the "New York City" train station is actually the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Station_%28Los_Angeles%29 Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal]].

*** Hey, ''someone'' had to drive the car home.

* TheHeist / TheCaper
* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: DiscussedTrope. Tucker strictly enforces a drinking ban at his coffee house (i.e. a business with no liquor license) even in a secret meeting plotting a robbery specifically to avert this. His exact phrasing is "I don't believe in breaking small laws".
* MissingMom: Rita Leland provides her son George with all the FreudianExcuse he could possibly ask for.
** She does finally decide to (very publically) reconcile with George at the end... while not noticing his corpse being wheeled past her mid-speech.
* TheMountainsOfIllinois

* NamesTheSame: Tucker's nickname is Mr. T, but he's not THAT Mr. T....
* PaperThinDisguise: A clean shave and a priest's collar.
** The episode guide notes that the first time the MST crew watched the film, it took them all quite a while to realize it was supposed to be a disguise.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: "Did I see you adulterat... adultering... oh, '''spiking''' that [[ProductPlacement Coke]]?"
** Actually botched; if you listen closely you can hear the actress pronounce "adulterating" ''correctly'' both times. However, the character could be realizing the dolt she's speaking to probably doesn't know what the word means.
