* GrievousBottleyHarm: Parker jumps into a dry fountain for cover, discovering too late that it's filled with jagged broken beer bottles. It's the most gruesome scene in a film filled with shootings, torture, and forcible surgery. The scene was used prominently in the MisAimedMarketing, which made the moment out to be ''wacky''.

Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSituation: The movie seems to hint ever so slightly that Dr Painter [[spoiler: is in fact the father of Robin's baby]] but it's not established definitely one way or the other.


Added DiffLines:

* ConsummateProfessional: Joe Sarno, in contrast to... everybody else, really.[[spoiler: No surprise he's the one left standing at the end.]]


Added DiffLines:

* HeelRealization: Parker has one about midway through the film. Longbaugh questions whether letting a pregnant woman go would really balance out all the bloodshed and mischief the pair got up to until this point, but Parker thinks it would.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: Over the course of the story, Dr Painter goes from a complete and utter pushover to [[spoiler: killing [[BigBadWannabe Jeffers]]]], delivering a baby in the middle of a gunfight, and standing up to Joe Sarno.


Added DiffLines:

* WeHaveReserves: Sarno's strategy in the final gunfight seems to be to have as many of his bagman buddies as possible engaging Parker and Longbaugh while he gets into a perfect position to take both down. [[spoiler: It gets the job done but by itself]] it doubles the movie's bodycount.
