Notes

* LoveAtFirstSight: Grucha i Andżela
* FourthDateMarriage: they instantly jump into a couple status
* BrickJoke: Andżela tells to Kuba how she dreams about having sex with di Caprio. Later on, she has a huge poster of young Leo in her apartment
* RecordNeedleScratch: As Andżela starts talking about her time with Oskar and Kuba, she eventually mentions the "wizard's head". Grucha instantly connects the dots and the cozy, romantic tune in the background takes an instant scratch
* BavarianFireDrill: Fred and Grucha get pass a ticket booth by just casually walking forward and dropping completely bogus excuses
-->Jestem kumplem Piaska
-->A ja mam paszport Polsatu
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Grucha stumbles his way into an experimental music performance by a string instrument quartet. It's a complete mess, further made weirder by the fact that the show continues ''as Grucha is interrogating the poor guys'' and the auciences go with it as part of the performance.
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Bolec has no clue how to deal with Kuba... but he saw a boatload of gangster movies, so tries to follow the stride
* WellDoneSonGuy: Bolec would love to be appriciated by his father; the film is him growing to realisation that maybe he should actually do something with and for himself, rather than trying to please the old man - and THAT is what impressed szef; he actually congratulates him in the end
->Mam 30 lat, a cały czas czuję się, jakbym odrabiał pracę domową
* MafiaPrincess: Bolec, despite being male. He's a complete pushover that's doing nothing but running a small brothel and watching tough guy movies all day, and it's implied Szef has to make bold face for the rest of the city
* InUniverseFactoidFailure: Bolec does the classic "suicidal ballade" UrbanLegend about "Ostatnia niedziela", where people would order the song to be played and then EatTheirGun. Even if he's wrong, it doesn't change the point he's making: it's one of its kind song about unfulfilled love and nothing like the modern pop jingles
* DramaticGunCock: Bolec does it as he's about to shoot Kuba
* NotWhatItLooksLike:
** As Bolec is still making up his mind about killing Kuba, he drops the following
[Kuba is kneeling on the ground, and Bolec cocks his pistol right behind his head]
So you are a musician?
[Kuba nods]
And you like old Polish tunes?
[Kuba makes a more confused nod]
[Bolec takes a breath, then uncocks the gun]
I have a neat compilation. Come, I'll play it for you.
[Kuba is so terrified and confused, he just trembles in place as Bolec walks back to his car]
** Weronika constantly thinks Kuba is in deep depression after she dumped him, first finding him drunk and playing with a gun, then witnesses him running away on a rooftop from Fred, thinking he's trying to jump. She becomes TheMillstone the second time, nearly getting him murdered
* NeckLift: Grucha does this to Oskar after finding his way to his apartment. For his credit, he uses the door frame to support the weight of Oskar.
* BadassBystander: Siwy, who beats the living shit out of Grucha and accidentaly saves Oskar
* InvulnerableKnuckles: Siwy beats Grucha with his bare knuckles in a way that would draw blood from his own hands. All he does afterward is few squeezes of his fist, but is otherwise no worse to wear
* NeighbourhoodFriendlyGangsters: Who Bolec ends up being, even if by accident. He scares the living hell out of Kuba and almost executes him over a (still undug) shallow grave in a forest, but ultimately becomes part of his motivation to get his shit together and get back into performing
->[As they are about to part like two good friends] Whatcha laughing about? I'm going to read the papers, watch TV... and if within four years time you don't become a famous violin player...then I shall come back and shoot you.
* CountingToThree: the famous "onetwo"
* IHaveYourWife: Not really, but Kuba doesn't want to have Weronika's blood on his hands
* CellPhonesAreUseless: Well, no battery, so all Kuba is able to achieve is to call Laska [[spoiler: who actually DOES save the day]]
* {{Irony}}:
** By pure chance, Fred and Grucha drive to the exact same spot as Bolec to dispose of Kuba
** Fred and his coin toss: he tossed head, thus Kuba is spared - just not due to Fred's decission
** Laska declares that who needs police, he can save Kuba himself; he ends up towing police patrol with two drunk traffic cops on the site
* PunkInTheTrunk: how Fred packs Kuba for a trip to Brzózki Stare; including a POV camera from the trunk
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: The poster
* DrunkDriver: Stoned. Except Bąbel is so stoned, he's asleep
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Foreplan, but it still applies; as Fred and Grucha keep arguing about the jersey/sweater Grucha is wearing, Kuba keeps putting dirt back into the grave he's digging for himself
* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: Kuba ducks after hearing gunshot, then realises he wasn't shot. Cut to Fred, as he wobbles on his feet. Cut to Grucha, as he's Gangsta Holding a still smoking gun
* InternalReveal: Grucha learns that Fred had the money on him all the time, but only after already shooting him for being such a shitty partner
* DiesWideOpen: Fred dies starring at his lucky dollar coin
* TheCavalry: No, not Laska and co., but the police they were towing
* RealMenWearPink the sweater
* BrickJoke: The whole "who needs police" and literally driving two traffic cops to the site
* HappyEnding: notably, ''everyone'' has theirs
* AmbiguousSyntax: Szef talks in a ''very'' specific way that sometimes tends to turn his sentences into question-like constructions
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The various talk about impressing your father and maybe be a match to his level of fame

* Accidental success: Bolec quite literally just stumbles into Kuba in a bar, without searching, while Fred and Grucha go around the time checking all the clues. In fact, he completely outruns them
* Gangsta wannabe: Bolec. The only reason why he's like that is because he wants to impress his father, a mafia Don
-> właśnie wychodzę spod klosza i nie mogę zawieść ojca
