* {{Flynning}}: Most of the final battle. It's especially noticeable because katanas are NOT made for blade-on-blade clashes (in fact, a close shot on one of the katanas in one scene reveals the blade is practically ruined).

* PoliceBrutality: Joe and Frank's first response to anything remotely threatening to them is deadly force. Their attempt to stop a drug deal sees them outright shoot and kill 4 men without ever trying to make the vehicle pull over, and the remaining survivor got second-to-third degree burns because the cops made ''their car explode''. The rest of the film sees them do increasingly violent acts as the Katana Gang tries to kill them.
