History Film / TheTuxedo

* CasualDangerDialog: when Jimmy's taxi screams across the city with Steena (Debi Mazar) in the back seat, still able to apply her makeup.

* BodyHorror: Banning's evil master plan involves his own brand of water contaminated with a bacteria that invokes this. His first test subject is an unsuspecting man who starts out thirsty and profusely sweating. He quickly grows gaunt and dehydrates at an alarming rate ''in seconds''. A close-up of his blood-shot, dried out eye implies [[NothingIsScarrier we're better off not seeing the full effect]].

* ArtisticLicenseBiology/ SomewhereAnEntamologostIsCrying: Del describes the species of water strider, ''Gerris marginatus'', as an insect native of southeast Asia and only to the southern hemisphere. In actuality, ''Gerris marginatus'' is not only found in both hemispheres but is actually indigenous to the Americas. Also no water strider species has a queen-based social hierarchy.

* DefrostingIceQueen: Downplayed. Del Blaine is a bitchy SnarkKnight extraordinaire all throughout, but does eventually warm to Jimmy.

* IKEAWeaponry: Has a sequence where Jimmy must assemble a rifle used to plant a listening device at long distance. Arguably justifies the "use right away" scope due to the nature of his high-tech tuxedo. Also the fact that the scope itself seems to be high-tech as well, since it appears to have something like an auto-targeting system [[FridgeBrilliance intended for fatal hits (when planting bugs, it takes down a Mook with a headshot)]].

* ThrownFromTheZeppelin: Banning calls in an underling who criticizes his scheme and feeds him some of the dehydrating water, causing him to shrivel up and turn to dust. Also counts as NightmareFuel and BodyHorror. Although, Banning admitted that it wasn't so much the criticizing but the guy's ridiculous haircut. And the criticism was valid for anyone but a megalomaniac seeking to poison everyone's drinking water. Specifically, Banning's quarterly projections assumed that everybody in the world would be drinking his water and nothing else.

Jimmy Tong (Creator/JackieChan) is a New York taxi driver. After escorting a mysterious woman to her destination at breakneck speed, she recruits him to be the chauffeur of Film/JamesBond {{Expy}} Clark Devlin (Creator/JasonIsaacs), who is hot on Banning's trail. After an attempt on Devlin's life lands him in a hospital, he tells Jimmy to [[ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin take his tuxedo]] and [[TakeUpMySword stand-in for him]]. Jimmy promptly finds that Devlin's tuxedo is a $2 billion dollar [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman power suit]] that allows the wearer to do kung-fu, [[WallCrawl walk on walls]] [[CeilingCling and ceilings]], and dance really well (among other things). He and CSA agent Del Blaine (Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt), who presumes him to be Devlin and is thus more than a little confused at his ineptitude, team up to bring Banning down.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Del describes the species of water strider, Gerris marginatus, as a native of Southeast Asia and an insect native to the Southern Hemisphere. In actuality Gerris marginatus is native to not only both hemispheres but is actually native to the Americas. Also no water strider species has a queen social hierarchy.

* BadassDriver: Jimmy.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Jimmy and Del.

* ClothingDamage: Jimmi accidentally rips the sleeve off Del's suit jacket. She's not amused.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Banning.

* WaterSourceTampering: Banning's plan.

* {{Expy}}: Devlin, a badass white hero, and Jimmy, his Asian chauffeur, are somewhat reminiscent of Franchise/TheGreenHornet and Kato.

* BlackComedyRape: The scene where Banning's girlfriend tries to get into Jimmy's pants.
