History YMMV / Payback

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Most of the [[BlackComedy humor]].

** The entire premise of the movie could count. Cops getting framed, partners getting killed, an entire syndicate getting weakened by the fact that three of its main leaders are killed, all of that... is caused by a disgruntled thief who basically got stifled out of a big paycheck.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** This exchange:
--->'''Pearl:''' ''(Suggestively tapping him on the shoulder with her whip.)'' I've got a few minutes...
--->'''Porter:''' So go boil an egg.
** The scene where Porter and Carter call Bronson. Carter tells Bronson what Porter wants and that Porter claims that he'll shoot Carter if he doesn't get it. After some back and forth, we get this exchange:
--->'''Bronson:''' [[IsThatAThreat Are you threatening me?]]
--->'''Porter:''' No, I'm threatening Carter... My money, yes or no?
--->'''Bronson:''' No. ''(Porter shoots Carter.)''

--->'''Bronson:''' No. ''(Porter shoots Carter.)''
* MagnificentBastard: Who else but Porter? Seriously, the guy almost always comes out on top with every obstacle he faces.
