* TheDragon: Jack Thorpe is Cali's main advisor and enfrocer.

** [[spoiler:Luis Cali attempts to release Joey because he respects Joey's father Albert, a mob boss. Joey despises his father and is appalled by being released while his friends remain captive, so he overcomes his guard and takes his machine gun. Joey attempts to use the gun on one of Cali's goons, but immediately loses control of the machine gun due to the kick and is shot dead. Joey's father is (understandably) outraged his kid was shot down and doesn't believe it could be an accident and orders the assassination of Luis's father in revenge. Luis's entire goal was to free his father, so the Feds believe he could start killing the kids or even detonate his bombs so the Feds are forced to attempt the risky assault on the school. ]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The climactic raid on the school is forced upon the protagonists because [[spoiler:Joey Trotta's father, in a moment of unthinking PapaWolf rage, orders the death of Cali's father in revenge for Joey's and now the police has to prevent Cali from killing all of the children in a retaliation of his own.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Cali starts having this towards the climax [[spoiler: when the special forces soldiers begin their raid on the school and shoot some of the {{Mooks}} and after Billy and his friends rescue the hostages. This culminates in him angrily taking Billy hostage at gunpoint to the headmaster's office and when his attempt to detonate the bomb fails (due to the boys swapping the [[MacGuffin control chip]] in the remote controlled plane), the look of panic on his face becomes palpable.]]

* TheCartel: Cali and his men, naturally.

* VillainousValor: Two pairs of {{Mooks}} stand their ground and keep firing away at against dozens of special forces soldiers for some time in the climax. [[spoiler:The first pair is killed at the entrance to the administration building, while [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse it's unclear whether the second pair were killed or eventually surrendered to the troops who barge in through the outer office the goons were last seen defending.]]]]
