* OutOfOrder: This film has a few details that makes it feel this was supposed to release as the third film rather than the second. The first is when his machines state this latest test is in the 4000s where in the 3rd film his latest test is in the 3000s. Another is when Brinkman tells Westlake he broke the 99 minute barrier to 127 minutes and explains to him how he did it, in the 3rd movie Westlake is still trying to figure out how to break 99 minutes.

This is only minutes after it was explained in detail the insane amount of armor plating, bulletproof glass, and other features added ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking including a 10-disk CD changer in the trunk]]). Of course, the car hadn't been designed to withstand bombs ''inside'' of it, but one would expect a car like that to contain the blast somewhat.
* ExternalCombustion: Randall meets her end when she turns the key in her car rigged car, an it explodes as Darkman helplessly stands beside it.
* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: Used in the prologue. Technically it's the same footage as the first movie, but Creator/LiamNeeson has been replaced with Arnold Vosloo via trick photography.
