* BatDeduction: In the opening intro, the expert detective Rick somehow managed to deduce the kidnappers' hideout by reading through various job ads packaged with the criminals' ransom note, spelling it out to his amazed protégé Allen. It... MakesAsMuchSenseInContext.
--> '''Rick''': Read these job classifieds very carefully. Notice the similarities between the sentences in the ads and the sentences we saw in the letters from the kidnappers last night?
--> '''Allen''': Holy sh...[[LastSecondWordSwap eboygan]]. Really?

* GrievousHarmWithABody: During gameplay, Rick and Allen can grab mooks and fling them into other mooks, knocking over large number of enemies in an instant. It's a good way to get out of a bad fix now and then.
* HardboiledDetective: Rick, the player 1 character, is supposed to be depicted as such (with his sidekick Allen as TheWatson), though the detective work is all done in the backstory, since the entire game have the players punching their way through stuff.
* NeverBareheaded: Allen, the player 2 character, keeps his hat on regardless the amount of enemies he beats up or him getting repeatedly punched in the face.
