* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The only scene critics seemed to talk about was one where Yonica sticks a scorpion down her short shorts and starts moaning in ecstasy.
* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[ShadowDictator The Viceroy]], the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive head of Tamerlane, Inc.]], is in truth the former CIA agent [[BigBad Walken]], who has gleefully had countless innocents across the world killed to prop up dictatorships in the defense of American interests. In Tamerlane, Walken directs the resources of war and death, using the agent Brand Hauser to assassinate others to open an opportunity for [[WarForFunAndProfit war]]. Seeking revenge against Hauser for years earlier, Walken had his wife murdered and daughter kidnapped so he might [[ForcedToWatch force Hauser to see her wedding]] before wiping her and everyone present out in a tactical strike.]]
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Hilary Duff's performance as Yonica, making her both entertainingly over the top and surprisingly sympathetic and human, was one of the few things about the film that was universally praised by critics, especially since she was playing a role so far removed from her popular image and holding her own in a cast of heavyweight actors. The scorpion scene mentioned above might also have something to do with it.
* JerkassWoobie: Yonica.
* StoicWoobie: Hauser. The man clearly hates his work, his life and himself but generally keeps it inside.
