** The fight involves a lot of {{Improvised Weapon}}s; thrown crockery, furniture, and heavy objects, most of which miss the combatants and do a lot of damage to other parts of the room.

* '''Inverted''': A fight in a reinforced cell results in a lot of serious injuries, with the exhausted and broken fighters ending up lying around a bloodied but undamaged metal table and chairs (both bolted to the floor). They're hauled out and the room is quickly hosed clean.

When Bob eyes the [[SheetOfGlass large plate glass window]] and gets an IdeaBulb, he tries to lift Andy over his head... and can't, so drops him and tried to catch his breath.
