Notes

* AbortedArc: While fighting against the Tiger, [[spoiler: Fury's engine gets severly damaged, to the point of throwing oil all over the tank]]. It's never adressed again outside that very scene - it doesn't even affect the combat with said tank.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Downplayed, as the film is on the cynical end of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism, but still we've got this exchange:
-->'''Binkowski''': Why we're rescuing kittens instead of just driving down to Berlin?
-->'''Wardaddy''': Why you're such an asshole?
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: [[spoiler: The entire crew of Fury notes that they could just hide and let the [=SS=] batallion pass, as they are in no condition to fight them on anything even remotely close to equal ground]].
* DarkerAndGrittier: Than SavingPrivateRyan, toward which there are countless [[TakeThat not-so-subtle]] nods. It's also ''much'' more graphic than typical war film.
* DarkestHour: Happens ''twice''.
** [[spoiler: The encounter with the Tiger tank. The first downed Sherman was taken by complete surprise. Then American guns prove to be completely ineffective. And within seconds Fury is the only tank left from four-tank platoon of seasoned veterans]].
** [[spoiler: Entire infantry batallion surrounds Fury, with it's crew out of ammo and the tank being immobilised. It's only a matter of time now]].
* EverybodySmokes: To the point where Norman is ridiculed for ''not'' doing so.
* HopelessWar: It's mid-April 1945. Nazi Germany have already lost the war and can't do a thing about it, but the High Command still haven't surrender, to chagrin of ''everyone'', Germans included.
* GogglesDoNothing: Inverted. They're ''standard-issue'' tanker googles, given to every crewman as part of their gear.
* GoodGunsBadGuns: Subverted. Don is carrying captured German [=StG=] 44, as it simply provides more firepower than anything else he could get. Later [[spoiler: Bible is trying to get himself any German gun, as his Thompson ran dry]].
