!!This film has the examples of:

* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Stevens must deal with a gang of rowdy bikers before Kirby is revived completely.
* AndCallHimGeorge: Charlie tells Stevens about the time when he was little and he had a puppy that got dirty; he gave it a bath in the toilet and put it in the freezer to dry but he accidentally forgot about it and it froze to death.
* AxeBeforeEntering: Kirby kills his landlady with an axe.
* BarSlide: Stevens does this to one of the bikers.
* BigBad: John Kirby.
* BreakingTheBonds: Kirby frees himself from his handcuffs after he is captured by the deputies.
* ChainPain: Used by one of the bikers.
* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: An attempt to stop Kirby's initial rampage is done by breaking a chair on his back. He kills the guy who tried to stop him.
* CluelessDeputy: Charlie. He probably has a grand total of three brain cells and is supposed to be the PluckyComicRelief.
* DamselInDistress: Like any dick flick, the women in the film are only there to be terrorized and have little to no characterization. Kirby fixates on Alison and is either trying to sexually assault or just kill her the whole movie through, forcing Stevens to have to rescue her constantly. The most egregious scene is the final fight where she does a rather wimpy jump on his back to distract him and Stevens has to rescue her yet again even though she did that ''to help him somehow.''
* DeadlyHug: Kirby kills [[spoiler:Charlie]] with this.
* DestinationDefenestration:
** One deputy is thrown through a car window.
** Kirby falls through a window when Stevens puts few bullets into him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Charlie]] dies in Stevens' arms after he finds him.
* DinerBrawl: Stevens must teach a biker gang some manners in a diner.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: Stevens' truck after it crashes before the climax.
* FallingInLoveMontage: Stevens and Alison. In this case a "Falling back in love in between lovemaking sessions" montage.
* {{Fanservice}}: Probably contains the highest concentration of bare breasts in Norris' filmography.
* {{Flatline}}: Used when Kirby is killed by Dr. Vaughn with a lethal overdose of drugs, only for him shrug it off and kill Vaughn.
* ForScience: An experimental regenerative formula is used on a dying Kirby for this reason.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: No backstory is given to Kirby; he just snaps after he tells his doctor on the phone that he "can't take it anymore" and is portrayed as a crazy person who Stevens must stop for the rest of the film.
* GilliganCut: After Alison tells Stevens that nothing will happen between them ever again, the next cut shows them in bed making love.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: A beer jug is broken on Stevens' head during the DinerBrawl, and two other attempts of attacking him with bottles happen.
* HealingFactor: The experimental formula that is used on Kirby gives him the power of regeneration.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Dr. Vaughn is impaled by Kirby with his own syringe.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Kirby attacks Stevens with a two-by-four during their initial meeting.
* MadScientist: Dr. Spires. He decides to test his methods on someone who was just gunned down for murder. Naturally, it bites him in the ass later.
* NeckSnap: Kirby kills Dr. Spires with this.
* OnlySaneMan: Halman is the only one who objects to Dr. Spires' plan to use the formula on Kirby on the grounds that Kirby is batshit crazy.
* PeekABooCorpse: After finding Nancy's corpse, Alison backs away from it to be further frightened by her brother's corpse.
* PluckyComicRelief: Stevens' partner Charlie. Though the laughs are...rather subjective, we'll say.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: One biker tries to leave the DinerBrawl on his bike, but [[SuperWindowJump only his bike leaves]].
* TheEndOrIsIt: The final scene of the movie is of Kirby bursting out of the well water.
* YouTalkinToMe: Charlie is shown quoting this on front of a mirror.
