* California Doubling: The factory scenes in the first parts of the film were shot in Southern England. Apparently, not many period facilities remain in the US.
* Corrupt Corporate Executive: The management of Consolidated Trucking. However, the higher ups of F.I.S.T. start acting a lot like them.
* Downer Ending: Johhny and Abe are killed by The Mafia with the former's body never being found. Considering it's based on Jimmy Hoffa, it's not that surprising.
* Fun with Acronyms: The Federation of InterState Truckers
* He Who Fights Monsters: Over the course of the film, F.I.S.T. starts acting alot like the Corrupt Corporate Executives form the beginning.
* Initialism Title
* Ironic Echo: Max Graham (the original president of F.I.S.T.) claims that Johnny is "going to sell out". Later on when it turns out that Max himself sold out, Johnny reminds him of what he said earlier.
* Law Enforcement, Inc.: The "Law and Order League" are the personnel thugs of Consolidated Trucking.
* The Mafia: F.I.S.T. is forced to ally with the mob in order to counter Consolidated Trucking's "Law and Order League". This leads to unfortunate consequences later on.
* Smash the Symbol: The climax of the Trucking strike is when F.I.S.T. tears down the Consolidated Trucking sign.
