 The Call Knows Where You Live: Whilst Burgade didn’t refuse the call he still encounters this. Before Susan’s abduction he is quite cheerfully and enthusiastically plotting to recapture Provo. Following her abduction he seems quite angry and bitter.

 The Chase: Most of the movie is Provo and his gang on the run from Burgade.

 Damsel out of Distress: Susan defines this. Upon finding a stranger claiming to be an old friend of her fathers upon the doorstep days after hearing of Provo’s escape her first reaction is to lock the door and run for the gun cabinet. If it weren’t for her father in a moment of genre blindness having locked the gun cabinet she could easily have shot Provo dead there and then. After she’s been captured by Provo and his gang of degenerates, though she has every faith in her father and fiancé, she doesn’t wait around for them to her rescue but instead tries to escape at the first opportunity. The only time she cries or begs is when Provo places her in a no win situation that will lead to her either being shot or raped. Throughout her ordeal she shows no fear and constantly mocks/taunts her captors.

 Chained Heat: The escaped convicts are chained together and consequently forced to work together in their escape. Later they remain together because Provo promises them gold and revenge.

 Damsel in Distress: The plot largely consists of this trope as Susan is taken hostage by Provo and his men and her father and fiancé must race to her rescue. But Susan herself is a badass damsel and quite proactive when it comes to not waiting around to be rescued. She also doesn’t bother hiding her contempt for her captors.

 Berserk Button: Using racist slurs around Provo will provoke great rage as the love of his life was a Native American girl and he himself is meant to be part Native American.
