| Big Game / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: Herbert, before becoming the head of Terrorist Intel, was a long-serving CIA operative. This pot-bellied, middle-aged and laid-back man shows he's still got it when he suddenly and brutally kills the Vice President faster than the man can scream. | |

Heroic BSoD: Oskari has one when he sees that his father's "good hunting place" contains a refrigerator with the head of an already-shot deer, meaning that he doesn't believe that his "Well Done, Son" Guy kid can pass the Rite of Passage. | |

| Big Game / int_144ec68f | comment |
Negated Moment of Awesome: Subverted. Oskari tries to shoot Morris for the second time and finally manages to draw a bow properly. He lets the arrow loose, it flies in gratuituos (and epic) slo-mo, hits right where the heart is... and bounces off, as Morris is wearing a bulletproof vest. However, it did have enough strength to push that bullet into his heart, killing him. | |

Lovable Coward: Moore's rather cowardly-he's even afraid of jumping three metres down, and his tactic throughout the film is hiding and running away-but definitely a likeable person, mostly because he's aware that he's a coward, and seems to overplay this aspect of himself in his mind. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Big Game / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Hazar is described by Herbert as a "certified Grade A psychopath". Hazar does display the Lack of Empathy in how he can kill a civilian; the Shallow Effect in how he can even watch Morris shoot down two of Hazar's own men without batting an eye; the Pathological Need for Stimulation in his delight in and obsession with Hunting the Most Dangerous Game; and the Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance in how Morris calls him "over-privileged" and also in how he paints himself as the hunter capturing the President even after Morris does the legwork of tracking the President for him. The Consummate Liar part? Well, that's ironically evidenced by the very same thing that might discredit Hazar from being a sociopath altogether depending on Alternative Character Interpretation: he's able to fluidly play the part of a man-hunter who cares only about his own wants to the point of fooling even Morris, when he's in actuality a fiercely-loyal CIA operative, although it's ultimately ambiguous how much of Hazar's sociopathic tendencies were genuine and how much were him simply "method acting" as part of his mission. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| Big Game / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Secret Service agent Morris is one who gets exposed to the audience fairly early in the movie. As far as the President is concerned, he's a solemn but loyal bodyguard and friend who literally took a bullet for him. In actuality, he's so angry that he took a bullet for such an ineffectual U.S. President that he's helping Hazar to kidnap and ultimately kill the same President; he kills the other Secret Service agents ruthlessly in pursuit of that mission, and he's quite mocking when he confirms said agents' deaths or when he encounters Oskari. Fred Herbert, and to a more downplayed extent, the Vice President. The former's laid-back yet highly competent personality and the latter's persona of a somewhat mousy and terse leader whom are both concerned about the President disguises the fact that both of them organized the terrorist operation from the get go. In actuality, Herbert is quite ruthless, while the Vice President took part in this plot all so that he could ascend to Presidency. | |

Uncertain Doom: Some of the Air Force One crew members. Several bodies are with the plane in the lake, but it's possible that some of them survive and just swam ashore before Moore and Oskari arrived, given the amount of time between the crash and them reaching the wreck. | |

Psycho for Hire: Hazar. According to Herbert, the man has no religious, political or ethnic views and is in the business simply for the kicks. The fact that he wants to stuff the president as a hunting trophy reinforces this. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Morris is disgusted when Hazar announces his plan to stuff the president's body and use it as a trophy. Not that it deters him from his Bodyguard Betrayal, though. While both Morris and Hazar Would Harm a Child, they go out of their way to avoid killing Oskari until he forces the issue by continually getting involved in their plan. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Herbert gives off this impression. He's laid-back, and often seen eating a sandwich or drinking from a mug throughout the movie, whilst tactically working out what's going on at breakneck speed and most times being ahead of the curve compared to the other Pentagon officials. Although the Brilliant part is partly justified by him being in the know on the Government Conspiracy from the start. | |

Let's Get Dangerous!: At one point, Oskari says that it's time to stop "acting tough" and start "being tough". Subverted when he immediately climbs into the refrigerator and shuts the door, then double subverted when he starts pounding on its side to make it roll off a (rather steep) hill. | |

Government Conspiracy: It is revealed in the last few minutes that the CIA agent Herbert and the Vice President were responsible for the shooting down of Air Force One and the 'freelance terrorist' hunting the president was actually a CIA operative. They hoped that by killing Moore they would create enough national fear to spark a new War on Terror. | |

Mistaken for Aliens: The first question Oskari asks Moore is "what planet are you from". The second is "do you come in peace". The escape pod does look like a space capsule, after all, although you'd expect that big USAF written on it would tip him off (but since he's Finnish he might not know what this means). | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| Big Game / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: Hazar seems completely devoid of empathy whilst being extremely polite, when he makes a civilian aware he's going to use him for target practice with a missile launcher or when he's captured his "prey" and doesn't care for Morris' horrified reaction to the idea of stuffing the President. Even when Morris complains when it appears they're victorious, Hazar encouraging him to be happy instead of anxious comes off as Hazar getting annoyed at Morris' behavior ruining the atmosphere. However, given that Hazar was actually a CIA operative loyal to a Well-Intentioned Extremist plot the entire time, it's ambiguous just how genuine this is. | |

There is No Kill Like Overkill: Hazar seems to be fond of it. He shoots the tour guide with a surface-to-air missile powerful enough to take down a passenger plane. It ends up vaporising the guy and levelling down a huge chunk of forest (it's a test). The bomb he plants on Air Force One ends up vaporising the entire lake the plane is in.

Trophy Room: Oskari's family has a variation, as they have a room full of photos of previous generations with their thirteenth-birthday hunts. | |

Neck Snap | |
| Big Game / int_c2fc1ae | comment |
Neck Snap: Herbert kills the Vice President by slamming the back of his head into a sink, snapping his neck in the process. He then wipes handsoap on his shoe to make it look like he slipped. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| Big Game / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: A villainous example — Morris' and Hazar's cooperation is based on rather shaky foundations and the two come to blows more than once. | |

Bulletproof Vest | |
| Big Game / int_c547cd6d | comment |
Bulletproof Vest: Played somewhat more realistically than the usual version of this trope, as the most powerful thing Morris' vest is pitted against is an arrow. On the other hand - soft vests are weak, if any, protection from blades and arrows. What ends up happening is that the arrow happens to land squarely into a bullet fragment lodged in Morris' heart, bouncing off but also pushing the fragment deeper in and killing him. | |

It Runs in the Family: Averted. Oskari's father was an accomplished hunter at a young age, killing and bringing home a bear in his first solo hunting trip. Much to his embarrassment, Oskari doesn't possess the same skills as his dad. | |

Fallen Hero | |
| Big Game / int_c6655b23 | comment |
Fallen Hero: Morris was once a heroic secret service hero who took a bullet for Moore. Now he's a traitor who's willing to kill the entire crew of Air Force One and his fellow agents without a shred of remorse to kill Moore, and isn't even a Well-Intentioned Extremist, as he's demanding money for his help. | |

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game | |
| Big Game / int_d2566b32 | comment |
Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Hazar's mindset is that he's hunting the "big game" — that is, the US president. With Moore, however, the "Most Dangerous" might be something of an overstatement. | |

The Cavalry: The Pentagon keeps trying to send a Navy SEAL team to rescue the president. However, this is made difficult when the escape pod tracker becomes dislodged and sends them to a farmhouse in rural Norway instead. They later turn up in the right place at the end of the film, much to the surprise of Oskari's hunting community. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Big Game / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: General Underwood, Herbert, and the CIA director are generally efficient in the search for the president and free of any stupid or jerkass moments. Even the Vice President, while initially terse and a bit dense, but gets better as things go on. Although for Herbert and the Vice President subvert this with the reveal they're the masterminds of the conspiracy. | |
