* CrueltyByFeet: A particularly brutal example. After Bradley reaches his breaking point, he shows no qualms about using his feet (and by extension, his mass) to commit devastating acts of violence. The most notable example is when he knocks out a prisoner in a fight, stomps on the back of his head, and threatens to finish him off. When the villain of the film doesn't do what Bradley says, he then scrapes the guy's pressed down face against the concrete, needlessly killing him slowly and painfully. He then rolls him over to show the guy's buddies that his face has been peeled off. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the hardened gangsters are absolutely horrified.]]

*** Bradley’s “Red, White, and burrito” line is clearly stated in order to goad someone into a fight, so it’s not necessarily an example of prejudice on Bradley’s part. This is supported at the beginning of the film with Bradley's mistrust of Roman, as Roman being Mexican is incidental to his sketchiness.
