* GoodBadBugs: A pillar of the bridge carrying David Avenue over Ballona Creek (somehow designated in-game as the Los Angeles River) between Washington and Venice Boulevards in Culver City is located next to the edge of the creek's concrete bank, with grass sloping between the pillar and the bank in the wonkiest way possible. Website/YouTube videos exist where players drive their cars at full speed directly into this pillar and end up being flung anywhere from a few blocks to halfway across the city to ''all the way out of bounds into [[DummiedOut unused areas]] of, or even off, the map''.

** A railing transition on the south side of the 101 Freeway where it passes underneath East Edgeware Road near Downtown Los Angeles is another hotspot for being [[MegatonPunch launched into low Earth orbit]]

* ClicheStorm: Invoked. After all, the game is love letter to Hollywood style CowboyCop films so it would only make sense that it borrows just about every trope associated with said films. And makes it all ''[[Administrivia/TropesAreTools work]]''.

* ThatOneBoss: General Kim is a terror [[spoiler:only in the final duel of the Good Ending, which also reveals the true extent of his villainy.]]

** If you play through the game for the first time only to get to the bad ending, suddenly having the explanation as to why a bunch of goons with automatic weapons are shooting up a high-rise ala ''Film/DieHard'' jump on a desk and shout [[LargeHam GENERAL HAN-YU-KIM OF THE NORTH KOREAN ARMY]] then throw knives at you feels pretty damn random.

* ThatOneBoss: General Kim.

* PacifistRun: It's possible to go through the game without killing a single enemy, thanks to the KneeCapping mechanic.

* DesignatedHero: A problem that many critics took with the game upon its initial release was how seemingly unlikable Nick Kang, comes across at times. Finding his brash, CowboyCop personality to be more insufferable than endearing. With Jeff Gertsmann, of Gamespot fame dubbing him "completely unlikeable" and "an unnecessarily cocky jerk."

* ScrappyMechanic: The aiming function. In theory, you can shoot to wound. In practice, it seems like random chance decides whether a bullet aimed to wound actually will wound or kill.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Nick has a hard enough time convincing people that he spoke to the legendary "Ancient Wu," he's not even going to ''try'' to explain the insanity of fighting a dragon surrounded by lava in an underground maze.
