* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Happens to Varney, one of the henchmen of the BigBad, when he leaves a bomb intended to blow up Boomer and Kelvin. As he makes his leave, Boomer recovers and throws his bomb into his truck. Varney notices and screams Boomer's name before getting blown up.
* InsuranceFraud: The BigBad's final objective of the heist is to have the robbers steal a priceless mural embedded on ''his house's wall'' and bury it alongside other high-priced arts that were also there, so he can collect the insurance.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: Hayes' experience as a football player ([[HandicappedBadass although one that now has a bad knee]], which forced him to retire) provides him with the physical skills necessary to survive a DieHardOnAnX situation (like being able to throw things ''very'' hard and precisely--like a shrunken star through a moving car window and straight into a DirtyCop's throat).
* ItCameFromBeverlyHills: The OpeningMonologue-slash-montage (by Kelvin) even mentions how much apart from the rest of Los Angeles Beverly Hills is, with its own police force and major and all.
