3!! This game provides examples of:
4
5* ActionHero: The whole point.
6* BambooTechnology: Well, not necessarily bamboo, but the Scientist can build pretty much anything with just some unrelated spare parts.
7* BigBad: The Main Villain, who gets a +1 to every single roll.
8* BottomlessMagazines: If you say your character grabs an extra clip, suddenly you have unlimited ammo.
9* ClassAndLevelSystem: There are a number of typical action movie Archetypes to choose from, each with their own perks. You level up when you start a new "movie."
10* EverythingIsOnline: If the Haxor can access a computer, it can find out anything at all you need to know.
11* FantasyCharacterClasses: An expansion allows you to use your Sweet Moves against orcs!
12* TheHero: The Primary Character PC who likewise gets a +1 bonus to every roll.
13* IKnowMortalKombat: The Haxor class gets a bonus to their Guns stat thanks to all those FPS games they play.
14* {{Mook}}: Any NPC who's not the BigBad or his team is labeled as "Fodder."
15* PaperThinDisguise: The main gimmick of the Spy archetype.
16* RuleOfCool: The Sweet Move mechanic. You can do pretty much anything if you describe it awesomely enough.
