A Lighter Shade of Black | |
| Golgo 13 / int_19fc58a2 | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Black: By the end of the film, Leonard Dawson is thoroughly established as a despicable individual who has exploited others, specifically his family, and caused all kinds of misery just to kill Golgo 13. Golgo 13, though a very cold-blooded killer, is in comparison portrayed in a comparatively better light having only killed people in self-defense and who very frankly deserved it. The film expects you to root for him. | |

Pin-Pulling Teeth: This is how Golgo kills Silver. Having already used up all his bullets killing Gold, Golgo is bum-rushed by Silver, dodges, pulls a grenade pin with his teeth, and stuffs the grenade into Silver's open mouth. Strangely enough, despite that the grenade should by all reason have painted the walls with Silver, all it does is blow his head off and set him on fire. His teeth aren't even damaged. | |

| Golgo 13 / int_a8a4b41e | comment |
Not So Stoic: There are some instances where Duke expresses hints of fear or panic. This is played straight when Duke had been shot in the chest and needed time to recover. He was visibly on guard and told his information guy to "make damn sure" he wasn't followed. The informant was shocked that a "man with balls as big as his" was 'spooked". Considering the fact that the full weight of the US army, FBI, and CIA were after him, this made sense. | |

Contract on the Hitman | |
| Golgo 13 / int_be85ff22 | comment |
Contract on the Hitman: This is basically the entire main plot. Industrialist Leonard Dawson uses every resource available to him to kill Golgo due to him performing the assassination on his son. His daughter-in-law even lampshades this by asking why Dawson bothers going after Golgo at all when he is just a hitman, and he should be going for the man who put out the hit. He can't because it was his son who put out the hit on himself: he wanted to commit suicide but didn't have the nerve to do it. Dawson goes after Golgo 13 because he is the closest person Dawson has for someone to blame. | |

Hook Hand: Used by one member of the CIA hit squad employed to take down Duke. Not that it helps him later on against Snake, who tears it off and tears open the guy's back with it. | |

Evil Redhead: In the OVA, Queen Bee kills a person who squealed to the cops in cold blood, even though he has a family. Averted later when Queen Bee's past is revealed. Also, after being shot by Golgo, Queen Bee, A.K.A. Joanna Hardy, has requested before her death to Golgo to kill Thomas Waltham, the man responsible for manipulating her father. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Throughout the entire film, to avenge his son's death, Leonard Dawson sends the CIA, FBI, U.S. Army, as well as Snake, Gold/Sliver and even his own granddaughter Emily along with the butler to plot out revenge against Golgo 13. They all failed. Thus Leonard commits suicide. | |

Never Suicide | |
| Golgo 13 / int_cfbd1467 | comment |
Never Suicide: A rather unusual inversion of this trope occurs in which the target's father, after the assassination, spends the rest of the film sending people to kill Duke - but it turns out that his son, unhappy with his family life and too squeamish to take his own life, hired Duke to kill him in the first place - suicide by contract killing. | |

High-Pressure Blood: Snake uses the third commando's hook against him by sliding his back open with blood spraying out, as well as plucking out another commandos eyes with his razor wire with the same result. Also, when Duke investigates the phone in the safe, he shoots an old guy who also drew a gun, gets shot and blood sprays out of him causing him to die. | |
