* IdiotBall: The stile scene.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles: Four actors play every role in the movie, sometimes having to play two characters in the same scene. Traditionally it's one actor for the main character, one actress for all the attractive women, and two other actors for ''everything else''. [[spoiler:Scenery not excluded.]]
* NoFourthWall
* PocketProtector: One of the characters survives getting shot when a prayer-book in his coat pocket stops the bullet.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Because there are only two guys other than Hannay, this pops up a lot. Examples include the underwear salesmen, the police officers, the heavies, the Sheriff and Chief Inspector, Dunwoody and [=McQuarrie=], and Compere and Mr. Memory.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Hannay initially mistakes the Scottish farmer's wife for his ''daughter''.
