* EyepatchOfPower: Christopher Lee started a trend for movie Rocheforts by sporting one. Michael Wincott and Mads Mikkelsen had one in the 1993 and 2011 versions, and Tim Roth had one in 2001 though his character wasn't Rochefort, but an {{Expy}} of Wincott's (and the actual Rochefort was a separate character.)

* HollywoodDarkness: The lantern-light duel between D'Artagnan and Rochefort.
* InflationaryDialogue: Porthos ransacks his enemy's purse after his hat gets ruined in a fight:
-->'''Porthos''': God's blood!! Look at that...! Ruined by you and your, your street-corner ruffians! By God, you'll pay for it! ''[Rifles the purse of a fallen Guardsman]'' Ten pistoles it cost me! ''[Reconsiders on seeing the contents of the purse]'' No -- twenty! Twenty pistoles! And twenty more, as a fine to teach you manners! Hah!
* SwordFight: Takes pride in giving fiction's most famous swashbucklers decidedly non-[[{{Flynning}} Flynn]] moves. Examples include sucker punching, groin kicking, blinding with cloaks or laundry, bashing with convenient chairs, and ''reversing the sword to beat the bad guy with the grip''.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: DoubleSubverted -- Porthos invents a move involving throwing his sword at the enemy. Aramis, unimpressed, asks Porthos to perform this move on him and easily parries the thrown blade, pointing out that Porthos is unarmed now. Later however, Porthos uses this move anyway, and it does work as intended.
