History Film / Hitman

* InUniverseFactoidFailure: When 47 meets Udre Belicoff as a "weapons buyer", Udre misidentifies pretty much every gun he offers. For example, he refers to an 5.56 NATO [=M4A1=][[note]]An assault rifle[[/note]] equipped with an [=M203=][[note]]An underbarrel grenade launcher[[/note]] as "an [=M203=] with an underbarrel grenade launcher" and also says there's a surplus of 7.62 ammo from the third world.[note]For bonus points, it seems to be based on the famous gun from ''Scarface''. You're think a criminal lowlife would recognize that. The closest to the gun he describes would be a SCAR in 7.62 NATO, or an AK-pattern rifle, and both look very different.[/note] 47 mentions this as evidence of how clueless Udre really is.

* CoolGuns: 47's iconic silver pistols are intact.

''Hitman'' is a 2007 action film based on the [[{{VideoGame/Hitman}} video game of the same name.]] It was directed by Xavier Gens, and released by [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios 20th Century Fox]].

* CelebrityParadox: During 47's escape from the hotel, he bursts into a room where two guys are playing one of the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' games.

For example, he refers to an [=M4A1=][[note]]An assault rifle[[/note]] equipped with an [=M203=][[note]]An underbarrel grenade launcher[[/note]] as "an [=M203=] with an underbarrel grenade launcher." 47 mentions this as evidence of how clueless Udre really is.

** In-universe example. When 47 meets Udre Belicoff as a "weapons buyer", Udre misidentifies pretty much every gun he offers. For example, he refers to an [=M4A1=][[note]]An assault rifle[[/note]] equipped with an [=M203=][[note]]An underbarrel grenade launcher[[/note]] as "an [=M203=] with an underbarrel grenade launcher." 47 mentions this as evidence of how clueless Udre really is.
** The military officers gathered towards the climax to capture 47 all wear uniforms of the Bulgarian Army, not that of Russia. Additionally, their commandos wear shoulder patches with the letters "МДВ"--the wrong order for the acronym for the Russian Internal Affairs Ministry ("МВД")
** One scene is captioned as taking place at the Russia-Turkey border. There is no such border and quite a few small countries are between Russia and Turkey.
** One line states that Russia is leading the European Union investigation of the assassination. This implies Russia belongs to the EU, which it does not and never has been a member of.

* TooDumbToLive: Udre Belicoff is so compromised by drugs/overconfidence that he's too arrogant to do something as simple as keep ammunition away from the guns out on display. Agent 47 points out his poor gun knowledge as a distraction partly so Belicoff doesn't kill one of the women with a pistol he's demonstrating. Agent 47 even manages to get an exploding suitcase into the meeting room with him to distract Udre's guards so he can lock-and-load and take everyone out with the weapons Udre so helpfully provided.

[[caption-width-right:350:BaldOfAwesome? Check. [[GunsAkimbo Twin pistols?]] Check. [[BadassInANiceSuit Badass suit?]] Check. Time to go to work.]]

** Udre Belicoff is also implied to be abusive towards women on top of having horrible gun safety standards. 47 wonders to him if he might also be a substance abuser while distracting him from shooting a woman in the room to demonstrate a pistol. 47 kills him and his henchmen with the guns and ammo he so helpfully left out.

* AssholeVictim: Belicoff. While he's said to be a moderate politically he's also an abusive misogynist. Hard to feel any sympathy for him or anger at 47 for taking him out.

* AMatchMadeInStockholm: 47 initially kidnaps Nika, stuffs her in the trunk with a dead body, drives across Russia with her in there, pulls her out of a restaurant by her hair, and threatens to torture and kill her. She seems strangely attracted to him. It blends with RescueRomance and BodyguardCrush as the body was of the man sent to kill ''her'', and the final scene shows how he killed another Agent sent to kill her. Despite her interest, 47 rejects her advances. It should be noted that he is typically believed to be {{Asexual}}.

* {{Asexuality}}: 47 is not very social. Comes with the territory of being trained as a child to be a perfect killer. This is evidenced by his almost kiss with Nika, when he seems baffled.

-->'''Agent 47:''' [Udre has a Makarov point blank in a hooker's eyeball] Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. This is not a Kedr. It's a Chinese copy. In fact, I don't know if it's the drugs, or if you're usually this inept, but you've been wrong about most of these weapons. If the gun you're holding is as cheap as this one, even if you did manage to shoot her in the eye, and I'm not saying you could, you wouldn't kill her. [[note]]47 himself makes a blunder as the weapon being discussed here is an Arsenal Shipka. Granted, it is close to a Kedr, but it is not one, and there exists no Chinese-manufactured clone of the Kedr. [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Hitman_%282007%29#Arsenal_Shipka An explanation can be found here.]]Regardless, the distraction worked anyway so it was presumably a priority to bruise Udre's ego with quick thinking more than anything.[[/note]]\\

-->I'm gonna ask you a question. How you answer it will determine how this night ends. "How does a good man decide when to kill?"

* WouldHurtAChild: Threatened; 47 warns Mike that should he be forced to kill Mike in his own home, 47 will also kill Mike's family too.

* TrojanPrisoner: One of 47's jobs is to assassinate a warlord. He accomplishes this by grabbing a mook the warlord was looking for, stuffing remote-detonated C4 down the guy's neck, then dropping him off and triggering the blast once 47 hears them learn from the prisoner that they're near a bomb.
