1* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: About 2/3 through the film, Colt heads to Luger's house because he's checking to see if he's in trouble. As Colt quietly and slowly ascends the staircase, a shadow of a guy's hand can be seen creeping towards Colt, but pulls back when Colt turns around. This shadowy figure is never heard from again.
2* ClicheStorm: Parodied with this exchange:
3-->'''Gen. Morters:''' Where's the microfilm, Mike?
4-->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' I don't know, I gave it to York. I thought she was one of your men.
5-->'''Gen. Morters:''' Act in haste, repent in leisure.
6-->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' But he who hesitates is lost.
7-->'''Gen. Morters:''' Never judge a book by its cover.
8-->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' What you see is what you get.
9-->'''Gen. Morters:''' Loose lips, sink ships...
10-->'''Mike [=McCracken=]:''' [[Music/TheBeatles Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing or fighting, my friend.]]
11-->''[Gen. Morters, cornered, looks to Mr. Jigsaw]''
12-->''[Mr. Jigsaw consults Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, shakes his head]''
13-->'''Gen. Morters:''' Sorry Mike, no good.
14* HilariousInHindsight: Luger and [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Frozone]] both use Hai Karate and are both played by Samuel L. Jackson.
15** Colt and Luger at one point commandeer a couple of kids bicycles. A few years later, [[Film/LethalWeapon in Lethal Weapon 4]] Murtuagh does the same thing.
16** A villain named "Jigsaw?" [[Franchise/{{Saw}} Why does that sound familiar?]]
17* HoYay: During the ''[[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Silence of the Lambs]]'' parody:
18-->'''Leacher''': Look to a man with whom you were involved.
19-->[Colt reminisces holding hands with a biker and skipping on a beach]
20-->'''Leacher''': No, not him. It was in Vietnam.
21-->[Colt reminisces holding hands with a Vietnamese man and skipping on a beach]
22-->'''Leacher''': No, you disappoint me, Mr. Colt. It was Mortars. General Mortars.
23-->[Colt starts to reminisce, then looks disgusted]
24-->'''Colt''': Wait a minute! I never-
25-->'''Leacher''': I didn't mean ''that'' kind of involvement.
26* RedundantParody: Brought up by Creator/RogerEbert in his negative review of the movie; he says the movie is a satire of the ''Film/LethalWeapon'' movies, which it is, but he argues that the ''Lethal Weapon'' series itself is a satire, what with the main character jumping off a building handcuffed to another character, and another person sitting on a toilet rigged with a bomb while the news media films it live, etc.
27* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/DeniseRichards appears as an extra in one scene.
28* SpiritualSuccessor: To the ZAZ spoofs.
