Tropes for the film:
- Improbable Weapon User: Johnny wields a guitar that conceals a rifle.
- Instrument of Murder: Johnny Banner wields a guitar/rifle.
- Swiss-Army Weapon: The guitar plays perfectly... and shoots bullets. While that is only two functions, the sheer impossibility of a single device that both fires bullets accurately (without a trigger mechanism) AND does not need any more tuning that a normal guitar qualifies.
- Tagline: "ROY ORBISON ON THE SCREEN AT LAST AS A SINGIN' SHOOTIN' SON OF A GUN".
