Come on, [[spoiler:he's a super badass assassin spy kicking ass in a major European capital]], only this time with amnesia. His line "I didn't forget everything, I know how to kill you, asshole" is pure Bryan.

We have no clues that Bryan stopped killing human traffickers at the end of the movie. It's perfectly possible that, after he's spent some time with his beloved daughter, he'll just get back to business and kill the rest of the organization. After all, they know to much, and they weren't exactly nice towards his daughter, so he has a good reason to finish them off. And when the streets of Paris are drenched in the blood of the traffickers that were foolish enough to think they cound handle a war against hells most prolific servant, he'll leave the terrified city and declare another war on all the criminals of the United States. And then, he'll meet [[ThePunisher Frank Castle]]. It won't take long for them to kill every single criminal in the world, and soon, hell will freeze and the darkness itself will whisper the name of every single grieving mother they have created, and the laughter of the dark gods will be silenced when they gaze into the eyes of Bryan and Castle. The world will never be the same again... and all of this because some asshole thought it would be hilarious to kidnap Bryans daughter! Thank you, fucker!

You remember that guy who was tied to a chair and [[ElectricTorture tortured]] by Bryan? At the end of the scene, Bryan turns on the switch one last time before leaving the room, letting the [[AssholeVictim poor guy]] burn. You know what I think? [[CrowningMomentOfFunny I think]] [[OffscreenInertia he's still]] [[AndIMustScream sitting on that]] [[AFateWorseThanDeath god damn chair]]!

[[WMG: Bryan Mills is an [[AssassinsCreed Assassin]]]]
Not only does he have the know-how and combat skills of an Assassin, sans the hidden blades, but he's also has their type of climbing abilities and the scene where he mentally reconstructs how Kim was taken was reminiscent of investigations that [[AssassinsCreedIII Connor]] conducted, meaning that he probably has [[AuraVision eagle vision]].

[[OneManArmy This]] [[GadgeteerGenius Would]] [[TortureTechnician Explain]] [[ImprobableAimingSkills A]] [[GuileHero Lot.]]
** Alternatively, he was trained by Volgin. Which would explain his penchant for using electricity.
** No wonder he looks so old; he'd have to be at LEAST in his late 60's by ''Taken'' if he was Volgin's apprentice all the way back in 1964 before the Good Colnel was killed by Snake!
