History YMMV / TheWholeNineYards

* HarsherInHindsight: In a movie about people being killed (albeit played for comedy), the film has an unusually high mortality rate; actors Creator/MichaelClarkeDuncan and Creator/MatthewPerry both died early, and Creator/BruceWillis, though relatively older at 68, and not dead, is suffering from a rare form of dementia.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Wait... there was a sequel?

* MagnificentBastard: Jimmy is very good at manipulating things in his favor.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Used to wonderful effect with how casually the hitmen talk about their victims, especially Jimmy.
-->'''Jimmy''': I didn't like him much after that. He took...a really, ''really'' long time to die.

--->'''Jill''': Do me a favor while you're there - go out and ''get laid''! And call me after, or call me before, better yet call me ''during'', I want all the details.

* BadassDecay: Unfortunately, this happens to Jimmy in the sequel.

* {{Sequelitis}}:
** The second film has its moments, usually when Oz gets sandbagged by some absurd situation;
--->''[Julie, Oz's receptionist, jumps Jimmy and chloroforms him]''\\
'''Oz''': Who are you!?\\
'''Julie''': Jules. Jules Figueroa. Ring any bells?\\
'''Oz''': [[OhCrap Frankie Figs?]]\\
'''Julie''': Yeah. Frankie Figs. He was my brother, and I'm pretty sure you knew him.\\
'''Oz''': ''({{beat}})'' ...Okay, I'll take that chloroform now.\\
'''Julie''': Yeah, I know you will! ''[she gasses him] ''
** ...but on the whole it's generally considered forgettable by most (though others found it enjoyable in its own right). Surprisingly, some people don't even know about the sequel.

'''Oz''': ''({{beat}} mouth wide open)'' ...Okay, I'll take that chloroform now.\\

'''Oz''': Who are you?\\

'''Oz''': Okay, I'll take that chloroform now.\\

* CompleteMonster: [[RichBitch Sophie]] is the only villain in the movie that has no redeeming values whatsoever, hiring a hitman to kill her husband, manipulating her husband into going to Chicago then ratting him out to Jimmy to try and hire ''him'' since the first hitter refused, then trying to hire a third hitman by seducing him. And through it all she never shows any hint of remorse, acting surly, selfish and smug. The only time she shows any hint of sympathy is when she's arrested and breaks down crying, blaming it all on the first hitter for not doing their job. Even Oz finds her more pathetic than sad at that point.
** The way she quickly glances up during her sobbing suggests she MAY have been faking it

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The film is brilliantly scored from beginning to end.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Jill may count, since she [[spoiler:initially posed as Oz's assistant in order to kill him.]]
