The Rule of Chekov’s Guitar - this states that if a guitar is featured in one act, then in a following act, an audience member must be shot.

The Rule of Chekov’s Bush - this states that if a bush is in any scene, in a later act, the bush must be shot.

The Rule of Chekov’s Window - this states that if a window is featured in the stage, at a later point, someone must peak through the window, or jump/fall out of it. And then be shot. 

The Rule of Chekov’s Character - this states that if a character is featured in any scene, then in a later scene, someone must be shot.
