* AwardBaitSong: "Without You", performed by Peabo Bryson (a few years before he became one of the go-to guys for this trope) and Regina Belle. It was actually a radio hit...and was succeeded five years later by them reuniting to do [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} "A Whole New World"]] together of course.

* ProductPlacement: One scene contains a refrigerator full of Coca-Cola cans (Creator/ColumbiaPictures' owner at the time), whose labels are all conveniently facing the camera. Elsewhere, a table with a huge stack of Lava Soap bars upon it appears backstage at a theater, and Alka-Seltzer proves vital to the climax. Creator/RogerEbert went into a rant about this while reviewing the film on ''Series/SiskelAndEbert''; see BerserkButton on the series' page for the full quote.

Elsewhere, a table with a huge stack of Lava Soap bars upon it appears backstage at a theater, and Alka-Seltzer proves vital to the climax. Most egregious of all is the scene where Leonard holds a bottle of Coca-Cola up to his face in such a way that label is not only visible in every shot, but is in the direct center of the frame as well. Creator/RogerEbert went into a rant about this specific moment, and the shamelessness of the product placement as a whole, while reviewing the film on ''Series/SiskelAndEbert''; see BerserkButton on the series' page for the full quote.

Added DiffLines:

* MagicalRomani: Leonard visits purported Albanian mystic "Nurse" Carvalho before he goes on a dangerous mission due to how he feels a strange, inexplicable spiritual connection with her rituals and ministrations despite not speaking Albanian in the slightest. That she sometimes gives him random knickknacks that help him succeed doesn't hurt either.


Added DiffLines:

* StockQuotes: Part of Leonard's pre-mission preparations has Freyn reciting a hodgepodge of famous (and occasionally motivational) excerpts from famous books, speeches, and recent Hollywood blockbusters as they make their way to his transport.

** After Monroe fails to kills Leonard, he literally drags his body by the tie to Synderburn's conference room, and drops him on the floor. After which, everybody stumbles over him, including Synderburn.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Averted as Medusa (at Cousin Andy's prompting) moves quickly to eliminate any threat to her plans. Played straight with Parker during their first encounter, whom she dismisses as a complete fool in ballet slippers whom she wants to play with first ForTheEvulz. Medusa quickly changes her tune when she realizes how much of a threat Parker proves to be and shoots him herself, but fails to kill him. Later played straight ''again'' when she chains him to a wall with his wife and leave them to be eaten by lobsters instead of just having her armed guards shoot him on the spot.

* TooDumbToLive: [=CIA=] Agent Charles Polk, who parks on a pier in a ''frog green'' unmarked car with ''government plates'' and a high-gain microphone ''on the roof'' in ''plain view'' of International Tuna who easily spot him. He also doesn't keep an eye on his surroundings. Then, when he starts hearing a sudden influx of "gribbit" sounds, he just writes "gribbit" in his note pad multiple times instead of checking things out. When his car is "jumped" by said frogs into the water, he doesn't even try to escape even though he's still conscious and uninjured as the car sinks into the bay.

** Nick Synderburn apparently is in the habit--on US soil, which is illegal--of sending agents like Monroe to their deaths or having them "get lucky and kill" other agents who retired and refuse to come back. He would very much prefer to kill Medusa, but the only reason he doesn't is because he thinks that what she has developed could be useful to him.
