** YMMV, Archer (as Troy) being sent to a super max prison "where the Geneva convention doesn't exist." A few years later, a certain bay in Cuba would have just such a prison.
*** [[DidNotDoTheResearch Which was a pointless thing to say about]] [[SdrawkcabName Erehwon prison]], since the Geneva convention only applies to prisoners of war.

Try again, Encyclopedia Brown. Gitmo prisoners are not uniformed military personnel and are there considered civilian captives.


**** Well [[DidNotDoTheResearch it doesn't apply to the guys in Guantanamo Bay either]], so, y'know.

** Yeah, he also planned a mass killings in LA with a bactereological, burns Archer's best friend along some doctors and brutally shots dead [[spoiler: his long-time fiancee Sasha with no exitation at all.]] Obviously he felt some remorse for Michael's death, but not enough to keep him to cross the MoralEventHorizon and being a blood-thirsthy psychopath he really is.

* FridgeLogic: If Troy and Archer have differing blood types and this fact is a plot point in getting Archer's wife to realize Archer is Troy, how come Archer's body didn't reject Troy's face when it was put on him?
** Anti-rejection drugs. [[TechnologyMarchesOn These days]] people that get RealLife facial transplants need to take them for basically the rest of their lives.

** The prison fight where Cage as Archer has to psych himself up and convince not only his brother that he is Troy, but the rest of the prisoners. The scene where Cage goes bug-eyed in particular is the CMoF.

** Sean, face restored, comes home. He's already in the arms of his wife. But then we hear "Dad?" from offscreen. The shot changes to Jamie, who is no longer dressed all punky. And her face lights up with joy as she breaks into a top speed run to hug her father. "Dad?" she says. "I'm sorry I shot you." And he just silently shakes his head and gives her the [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead peculiar affectionate]] {{FacePalm}} particular to this movie to show her he forgives her.

** His accidental killing of Archer's son seems to be his own moral horizon; as he appeared to be genuinely horrified when it happened. Realizing what he did was monstrous, he then just decided to be as evil as possible.

* {{Narm}}: The movie has several such moments:
** "I'm going to take his [[TitleDrop face... off]]."
** Even Better: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lgin11TH6g&feature=channel_video_title "DDDDIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"]]
** Most of Nic Cage's time as Castor Troy is full of this especially that one face he makes when he grabs the girl's butt.
