!Tropes for the film:
* BarBrawl: The plot culminates in an epic one. Balconies are fallen over, valuable pots are smashed, chairs and bottles are used as weapons, men are thrown over the bar, tables are flipped, and every sheet of glass in the place is smashed. It finishes with Glennister and [=McNamara=] going out the window and finishing the fight in the mud. They also end up losing their shirts.
* CabinFever: Lampshaded. Glennister and his friend note that when two men spend a winter frozen in a cabin in Alaska, they either walk out good friends... "or one man walks out alone."
* TheFilmOfTheBook: The story is based on Rex Beach's book of the same name.
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Roy Glennister shows up JustInTime to stop [=McNamara=] from forcing himself on the DamselInDistress. [=McNamara=] points out that he doesn't have his gun on him, so Roy says they'll have to settle matters [[GoodOldFisticuffs the good old fashioned way]], and have a truly epic fistfight ensues.
* PopulationXAndCounting: Played with A prospector in a gold rush town is told that a hotel doesn't have any vacancies. Suddenly there's a gunshot from inside the hotel and a body rolls down the stairs. The hotel owner promptly sells the now-vacant room.
