* Boris claims that the weight of the revolvers he sells is a sign of their reliability and that he always goes for reliability. When he later executes Frankie Four-Fingers, it's most emphatically not with one of the revolvers he sells, but instead uses a 1911, which foreshadows that Tommy's gun (and possibly Frankie's as well, since Boris set him up to be robbed) is defective.

* Brick Top explains that "nemesis is "[a] righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent." Which basically foreshadows the climax where appropriate agent (Mickey and his fellow travellers) inflict some righteous retribution on Brick Top and his lackeys. Walked right into that one, mate.

* Both Tommy and Franky Four Fingers engage in RecklessGunUsage when they buy from Boris; Tommy aims right at Gorgeous George, and Franky scratches his temple with the gun barrel. Neither time does Boris show any concern, despite being a professional gun expert... because he knows the guns won't fire.

Added DiffLines:
* When explaining to Brick Top why Gorgeous George won't be able to fight, Turkish doesn't go into detail beyond "We've lost Gorgeous George". Turkish knows that Brick Top has an irrational hatred of Tommy, so imagine what Brick Top would have done to Tommy if he'd known the whole truth. So by keeping the whole truth from Brick Top, Turkish saved Tommy's life.

* Boris the Blade has a brother (the man he talks to on the phone). What if he finds out about his brother's death and comes to London to seek revenge?
** Pretty much everyone involved in his brother's death is dead or in prison, though, and it's implied that he doesn't want the American criminal outfit to know he was involved in trying to steal the diamond, likely because he knows they're more powerful than him and he'd lose a confrontation. So he'll most likely have to just chalk this one up to Boris' ineptitude, nurse a grudge and move on.

* It's easy to assume that Turkish simply figures Tommy's gun won't work because Boris has a reputation for being a sneaky fucking Russian. It's just as likely he saw it was defective when he inspects it at the start of the film and said nothing until time came for the gun to become relevant to the plot.

* Brick Top goes to Turkish and Tommy to fix his latest fight because they have a reputation for running clean, honest fights. In both the fights they put him in, however, Mickey goes against instructions and lays out his opponent with one punch. Intentionally or not, Mickey actually ended up doing the two something of a good turn, as their reputation for honesty and integrity in the boxing community will remain intact, whereas it wouldn't if they'd done as they were ordered to by Brick Top. Sure, he also stiffs them over in the process, but it's not nothing.
