* BigBadassRig: The Scania T-142 M driven by Semmerling and one of her mooks it's also the same rig they used to force Bean to make a detour and cause a pileup, although this proves to be their undoing.

* KillItWithFire: Semmerling acidentally immolates herself.
* MadeOfIron: Bean. This guy can take stungun shocks without even flinching, and [[spoiler:even takes a BULLET TO THE HEAD and get hit by a car (twice!) while still remaining standing!]]

* SpotTheThread: The trailer used to block Bean's escape in the first heist, and the trailer Semmerling is escaping in are one and them same, but Bean doesn't realize this until he sees the trailer again and notices the bumps on the side from the police cars crashing into it.
* SmugSnake: Semmerling fancies herself as a competent and elegant schemer, but makes plenty of extremely stupid decisions throughout her caper and goes absolutely ballistic when her plans inevitably goes awry.
* SunglassesAtNight: Bean wears one in the intro while working as a getaway driver it doesn't damper his BadassDriver capabilities one bit.
* SuperStrength: Somehow Bean can not only carry an entire car on his own, but also be able to throw a knife with enough force to rip off car doors.
* VagueAge: Carrie, young-looking enough to convincingly impersonate an 11-year old girl, old enough to be Semmerling's paramour. Lampshaded by the kidnapped CEO, and later on Bean. Interestingly, in the concept art both Carrie and the girl were stated to be 13.
* ThePreciousPreciousCar: Inspector Percy establishes his relentless drive to get Bean early on by showcasing the 1967 Shelby Cobra GT-500KR that he bought solely because it's got the horsepower to catch up with Bean's car, complete with prideful DescriptionPorn and Dick going all "wow!" over it. The climactic chase then has Percy ramming the Shelby through multiple obstacles that he may have driven around but that would mean giving Bean Bandit so much as a second's worth of distance, and accidentally shooting up the interior (with guns meant to try to punch through the armor of Bean's car).
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Thanks to Bean's SuperStrength he can throw a knife with incredible force. Seriously, he throws one at Semmrling, it goes through the window and ''tears out the opposite door on the other side''.

* CoolGuns: The OVA shows a pretty nice selection of guns from somewhat common to quite uncommonly seen ones (such as a [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Semmerling_LM-4 Semmerling LM-4]] and a Calico M-100).
