* HypocriticalHumor: The press question Marian's dad about some of the gangs (like the Power Corps) are misunderstood. He reminds them it's almost curfew, and they depart.
Added DiffLines:
* InspectorJavert: Marian's dad believe the Power Corps are a dangerous gang, despite how many times she says he's wrong. Later, he changed his mind after seeing her daughter is one of them and saves her and the brothers from Shuko's henchgirl.
Added DiffLines:
* PoliceAreUseless: Even they follow curfew. Though justified, since they have neither the manpower nor motive to deal with the gangs. Averted with Marian's dad, who wishes to do more. In one scene, he tries to get his fellow officers to help him, but they refused. His second-in-command thinks he's only asking for help find his daughter. But he tells him his daughter and the Power Corps are doing the work for the cops. He orders them to come with him, but they won't so he went on his own. By the end of the film, they now have the strength to fight the gangs rather than comprising with them.
