* ClicheStorm: The plot is so formulatic and dialogues so packed with one-liners and CasualDangerDialog it borders on {{Narm}}. Luckily, the screenplay is aware of that and most of the clichés are lampshaded in dialogues.

* MagnificentBastard: [[HitmanWithAHeart Jimmy Bobo]] is a ProfessionalKiller who opens the film assassinating a corrupt cop but sparing an innocent prostitute. When he realizes he is seen as expendable by corrupt businessman Morel, Jimmy goes to war to get his hands on Morel's dealings, luring the mercenary hitman Keegan and his squad into a trap and blowing up his cabin to kill all save the escaping Keegan. Clearing his way through Morel's men and using his flash drive to bargain for the life of his daughter from Morel, Jimmy proceeds to face the unhappy Keegan in a fight to the death in which Jimmy wins by fighting smarter and pulling a knife. To spare his detective ally Kwon from any questions regarding their team up, Jimmy shoots him in the shoulder just to make it look like Kwon tried to stop him.

* NarmCharm: Actively invoked most of the time. Whenever something straight from B-class movie happens, it will be either discussed or at least lampshaded.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Bulleit Bourbon is treated as such an obscure brand that Jimmy needs to bring it with him to bars and pay for a glass to drink it with. The brand became quite mainstream shortly after the film's release, and Jimmy's obsession with it doesn't come across as discriminating.
