* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:At the climax, Doug sets some explosives on the "top" of the Fall as soon as he gets on. He then fights and shoots his way to the other end to reach Cohaagen, and is not shown planting any more explosives. Thus, when the train resurfaced at the Colony, top becomes bottom and vice versa, the explosives planted earlier are now at the bottom of the Fall, i.e ''underground''. Yet, when they explode, they managed to destroy the ''top'' of the train and the mechanism holding it in place, sending it plummeting towards the Earth's core.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[DarkActionGirl Lori]] is an agent assigned by United Federation of Britain [[BigBad Chancellor Cohaagen]] to pretend to be Douglas Quaid's wife. When Quaid goes to Rekall and begins uncovering his old life as Carl Hauser, Lori has a team murder the entire staff at Rekall and tries to murder Quaid herself, killing an innocent man in the process. Brutalizing a witness to gain information, Lori disregards Cohaagen's orders to [[IWantThemAlive capture Quaid alive]] and takes great joy in the thought of murdering him. When Lori later tracks down Quaid and his ally Melina, she tries to trick Quaid into killing Melina, before gunning down several civilians while chasing them. Lori later helps Cohaagen wipe out the resistance and taunts Quaid when he's about to have his memories replaced with those of Hauser. Lori then helps oversee Cohaagen's attempted invasion of the Colony which would kill millions, and when Quaid stops the invasion, Lori murders a man and disguises herself as Melina in a final attempt to kill Quaid. Notably by that point the BigBad who gave her orders initially is dead, so she has no further involvement and could easily walk away, but decides to go through with it anyway completely ForTheEvulz.
