* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Heinrich Luhr]] is a {{sadist}}ic, bigoted Nazi [[StateSec SS]] commander put in charge of overseeing operations on the island of Fernando Po. Heinrich ensures the safety of German U-Boats to assist with [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Nazi dominance over the Atlantic]]. As a twisted Hobby, Heinrich captures [[WouldHitAGirl women]] to [[ColdBloodedTorture brutally torture]] for his own amusement. Initially interested in UsefulNotes/{{SOE}} agent Marjorie Stewart, Heinrich attempts to subject her to brutal torture when he discovers she is Jewish. Once his oversights on his duties result with the British spies being able to destroy the U-Boats, [[BadBoss Luhr]] pettily murders 2 of his associates simply for calling out his incompetence.

* SpiritualSuccessor: A Guy Ritchie-directed action movie with some heavy comedy starring Creator/HenryCavill and agents from other countries makes it ''really'' easy to see this as a spiritual sequel to ''[[Film/TheManFromUncle2015 The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]''... or more accurately a prequel since it takes place during WWII instead of the Cold War.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The team is frequently shown using suppressed Sten submachine guns to devastating effect and little apparent notice from everyone around. The suppressed Sten ''is actually that quiet''[[note]]The Sten Mark 2 that the team uses was absolutely notorious for being far, far better designed than it had any right to be, considering it was made by a resource-strapped United Kingdom to replace the weapons they left behind in Dunkirk. In addition to the low-powered [=9x19mm=] pistol round being inherently easier to suppress due to the bullet's design, the suppressor on the Sten is ''as long as the gun itself'', stock included. The suppressed submachine was specifically designed for covert warfare, with an aim towards being as quiet as possible[[/note]]. Combined with the fact that suppressors were not especially common in 1942, the fact that no one notices the suppressed gunshots is also justified the three times they're used: in the scene on the boat, the team is far away from the Nazi's larger boat, and they aren't heard; in the stockade raid, a lot of attention is drawn to the loud, backfiring vehicle, which is providing sound cover[[note]]notice that once it's fixed and turned off, the team abandons the quiet approach and goes loud[[/note]]; during the ending, each kill is enough to get ''attention'', but more of a "what was that" reaction instead of "those were gunshots" reaction.

* AbilityOverAppearance: The real Lassen looked nothing like Alan Ritchson, if for no other reason than because Ritchson's enormous physique (which he developed for his part in ''Series/{{Reacher}}'') would be very unlikely given the wartime rations his character would be mostly subsisting on. However, his physical performance and stunt choreography more than make up for it.
