Michael Madsen provides examples of the following tropes:
- Creator Backlash : He likes to be honest with his fans and is very self-critical with his own works; he only considers six of his movies as good : Kill Bill, Species, Free Willy, Thelma and Louise, Reservoir Dogs and Donny Brasco
- Money, Dear Boy : As he openly puts it : I've made some crap but you've got to pay the bills.
