* TooDumbToLive: Johnny's brother Jacob instead of going to the cops after Johnny and Heather tell him what happens, decides to go into a dark empty building to look for a derange killer and missing child by himself. All because he thinks he is a cop despite not officially being one yet. This is doubly stupid as no cop would do something that dangerous without back up.

* Foreshadowing: Early on in the movie when the police raiding Gregory's building, a cop sees a ice cream mixer with a blade. When the cop asks what it is used for, Gregory explains how its used to slice thing up for his ice cream while also making a unsubtle threat about how it can chop up cops too. Guess how Gregory meets his end in this movie.

** Tuna's dad meets his end this way or at least is headless after Gregory burns him in the next scene.
* PoliceAreUseless: Somewhat subverted. Despite not finding any evidence initially in the search, Detective Gifford and Maldwyn are still suspicious of Gregory and investigate him. However by the climax, both of them are knocked out by Gregory thus averting this troop.

**In the opening scene when the hit men shoot his truck, Brickle walks out in plain view thus making him a open target instead of just hiding or staying in his truck.

* VillainHasAPoint: While the cops were right for serving Gregory the warrant and searching his place given the situation, he makes a good point that they wrecked his place and didn't even find anything at the end, saying "Are you sorry you didn't find anything and wrecked my place, or are you just sorry you didn't find anything?"
