Betty and Veronica: While the two female love interests in the film aren't part of a love triangle, each being involved with one of the two brothers, their personalities fit perfectly the trope: Kate (Sally Hawkins) is the soft, reasonable but exceedingly naive girl next door, and Angela (Hayley Atwell) the sexy, intellectual actress of questionably loose morals.

Cain and Abel: After Terry confides that he wants to turn himself in to the police for the murder, Ian and Howard agree there is no alternative but to get rid of Terry, so Ian plans to poison him, but at the last moment can't bring himself to kill his own brother, however, he nonetheless attacks him in a fit of rage. In the chaos, Terry knocks Ian down the steps into their boat's cabin, killing him.
