!! This film provides examples of:

* BulletproofVest: Played straight, although one character finds cause to lament that the vests [[OnlyAFleshWound don't come with sleeves.]]
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Huey beats one of the bad guys unconscious with his prosthetic leg.
* HotDad / PapaWolf: It's JohnnyDepp, and he's willing to do ''anything'' to protect his daughter. Aww.
* IdiotBall: The villains commit pretty unnecessary blunders that could have ([[spoiler:and then did]]) destroy their entire scheme (like [[spoiler:aptly killing off the governor's personal assistant without coming up with an explanation for her absence]]), though it is implied that they did so out of sheer nervousness and desperation (and, seeing how much of a XanatosRoulette this plan was, it is actually surprising they didn't make more mistakes than they did).
* IHaveYourWife: The bad guys are holding Watson's daughter hostage, in order to secure his cooperation. They keep showing up to remind him of the fact, just in case he gets any crazy ideas.
* LargeHam: It's ChristopherWalken as a bad guy. What do you think?
* ObfuscatingDisability: Huey really is disabled. But he's an amputee, not deaf as Watson lead Smith to believe.
* MobstacleCourse: Watson is able to invoke this trope by FiringInTheAirALot in a crowded banquet hall in order to escape.
* RealTime: With multiple shots of nearby clocks to show exactly how much time is passing.
* StrawmanPolitical: The bad guys are willing to go so far as murder a political opponent.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Smith and Jones, although technically only the former is a guy.
* WouldHurtAChild: They're serious when they say they'll kill Watson's daughter. Hell, they try to do it out of spite.
