* GoodShapeshiftingEvilShapeshifting: In a departure from the original film, Lawrence Talbot's tragic werewolf hero is contrasted by a werewolf BigBad, [[spoiler: namely his father Sir John Talbot]]. When the two clash in the finale, the moral differences between the two are made abundantly clear in their transformation: Lawrence's transition is slow, awkward, and painful, while [[spoiler: Sir John]]'s is smooth, elegant and complete in a matter of seconds; Lawrence keeps his clothes on while transformed, while his opponent [[NakedNutter eagerly tears his shirt off]]; finally, [[spoiler: Sir John]] is much stronger and even more brutal in combat than Lawrence - all reflections of the BigBad's nature as a FullyEmbracedFiend.

* TheGhost: Gwen's father is referenced once as having accompanied his daughter to Blackmoor but never appears on screen.
* MythologyGag: Even though the remake differs significantly from the original, they did keep a few nods to the 1941 version:
** Gwen's family owns an antique shop.
** Lawrence's cane is similar to the one in the original, sporting a wolf's head and star.
** Sir John beating the crap out of Lawrence with said cane [[spoiler:but not in self defense, oh, far from it]].
** Sir John owns a telescope like he did in the 1941 film
** The gypsy girl Lawrence saves is named Maria, which might possibly be a subtle nod to Maria Ouspenskaya, who played Maleva in the original.
** No matter what Lawrence was wearing previously, the Wolfman is always in the same clothes post-transformation. This was the case in the original as well, and something that fans liked to poke fun at.

* ProppingUpTheirPatsy: Sir John Talbot leaps to his son's defence when Lawrence is accused of being the werewolf that's been preying on the village, even warding off a gang of vigilantes with a shotgun and threatening to have his manservant snipe them from the rooftop of his manor. [[spoiler:Initially, this seems to be a case of John going PapaWolf, especially since Lawrence is a werewolf - he just hasn't killed anyone yet. However, Sir John is also a werewolf; unlike his son, he's a FullyEmbracedFiend and directly responsible for all the murders in the village over the last twenty years - including that of Lawrence's mother and (more recently) his brother - and he's just covering his tracks. So, when Lawrence turns up covered in blood after his first full moon, no suspicion falls on Sir John.]]
