* AesopAmnesia: Apparently, the Horsemen forgot that working together is the secret to being able to pull off everything, and Atlas specifically forgot that his pride can interfere with the greater goals for both himself and the Horsemen as a whole. A good chunk of the movie is relearning these lessons. Atlas never really learned to let go of his pride and ControlFreak tendencies, since all the plans in the first film were his and they all went off spectacularly.

* FamilyOfChoice: Near the end of the film, when the Horseman are being [[spoiler:thrown out of an airplane to die]], Merritt yells to the group that at least he's [[spoiler:going to die]] with his family. [[spoiler:Given that the plane turns out to be part of their final trick, it's uncertain if Merritt was just playing things up to sell the illusion of fear, or if he really does feel this way]]. Given his poor relationship with his twin brother, it's likely he does feel the other Horseman are family to him.

* PlotHole: Jack [[spoiler:hypnotizing Chase to throw him and the rest of the Horsemen out of the plane]] requires him to be at two places at once, as he was doing his show before Merritt alerted him and the others that he was caught by Chase. This is never explained in the film.
%%%** Remember the twist to the Las Vegas heist in the first film? You're assuming that the shows are taking place at the same time. Given that we know [[spoiler:Merritt deliberately let Chase catch him so that the villains could "ambush" the Horsemen for the final trick]], a plausible explanation for this is AnachronicOrder. [[spoiler:Jack's show ends when Dylan tells him to go; "Go" in this case might actually mean "go meet up with Merritt so you can hypnotise Chase". In other words, perhaps Jack's show actually ended before Chase found Merritt. Then afterwards, Merritt called Dylan to say Chase had found him, and Dylan called the other two Horsemen (Atlas and Lula) and told them to wrap up.]]%%% Justifying edit.
