!!New Skills or already there

!!No Kill like Overkill, perhaps



!!Where did those assassins go?



!!The Barbed wire

*** Except it's the hand with ''metal knuckles'' that he wraps in the wire. Presumably, even if his robotic arm can feel pain, it's probably not equipped to register pain more intense than what every inch of Henry's still-organic body must already be howling with, by the movie's climax.

*** Weren't they the ones who were in the elevator in the ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'', advertising the tie-in with the film, who killed the mooks with Dallas and direct him to the room where Jimmy was waiting for him? If so, that means that they appear to have an on-going arrangement with Jimmy in addition to running their business that's been going on before the events of the film.

** [[spoiler: Given the final line of the picture, it's likely that Jimmy sent the wheelchair-bound body along so that, if their mission failed, Akan would assume that "the cripple"'s death meant that Jimmy was dead and gone. But it, too, was actually yet another expendable clone: one that Jimmy'd deliberately made a quadriplegic as a decoy.]]

** [[spoiler:More importantly Akan is still watching, if they just ditch Jimmy's crippled body somewhere there is a very real chance that Akan will watch the feed from Henry's eyes and have Jimmy killed as soon as they leave him unattended. And they can't just blindfold Henry because they need his combat skills to keep the mooks of him or drive the van, someone has to be doing both tasks or the mooks kill them both then and there with raw numbers so Jimmy can't just.]]

** Two possible reasons: [[spoiler:First off Henry, is the first real success, the one who isn't brain dead, insane, or otherwise defective. Second off, his memory suppressor however is defective, he gets flashes of the past and who he really is that Akan isn't aware of. Akan is only recording what happens in his mechanical eyes after all. Henry has something more powerful then the others, something really that he can question or follow.]]

** Only if it ''doesn't'' have a parachute that the pilot can get to. The pilot would've seen what Henry just did to all those cyber-thugs ''and'' his boss, after all.

** The opening credits isn't related to what happens in the film. It's just a general montage of bloody injuries; if anything, it's previewing the gore and violence that will happen throughout the movie.

*** That, and he seems to be the first one that the Jimmys heard tell of and successfully made contact with. Hence, things like [[spoiler: Akan tapping the feed from Henry's eyes]] coming as a surprise to Jimmy.

* What's up with all of the brutal damage done to the unnamed body during the opening credits? The lab tech in the beginning says that it was all inflicted onto Henry, but he most likely wasn't involved in Akan's plot considering the pummeling he received shortly thereafter, so if all that harm done to Henry was real, what the hell happened to him to deserve that kind of beating? Did it even happen at all, or was it just made up to sell Henry the story, or was it just a cool visual to set up the film?

* Did Henry already have those parkour and combat skills before becoming a cyborg, or were they programmed into him? Maybe that's why he was selected to undergo the transformation and be the vessel for the future soldiers to acquire their knowledge.
