• Crosses the Line Twice: Something that Roger Ebert liked about the movie.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: The entire film seems to be an attempt to consist of nothing but attempts at this. Almost any scene could be the climax of a slightly more rational movie.
  • I go with either Smith nailing DQ WHILE killing baddies; the parachute gun-fight; or Smith's finger-bullets
    • I vote for the spanking scene.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: Quite a few in the movie. This troper's personal favorite is when Smith conks one of the mooks by shooting the back of a filing cabinet and smashes it into his head. Even Oliver seems to find it amusing.
  • Also, Hertz' failed baby-snipe attempt.
    Hertz: (deadpan) Fuck me sideways.
  • "FUCK U"
    • Followed by Hertz's response: "FUCK U TOO"
• Crowning Music of Awesome: "THE ACE OF SPADES!! THE ACE OF SPAAAADES!!"
  • And don't forget the joker.
    • God bless Motörhead.
  • Nirvana's "Breed" in the first gunfight scene sets the tone of the rest of the movie. And "Joker and the Thief" shortly after.
  • Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" over the final scene. And never stop.
  • AC/DC's "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" for the skydiving scene.
• Fetish Fuel: Apparently the actress spanked by Clive Owen in the museum was quite looking forward to the experience.
  • And Monica freaking Bellucci as a lactating hooker. Hoo boy.
• Memetic Mutation: The sex scene is by far the most well-known scene in the movie. Many viewers who watch the scene on video hosting sites have no idea what movie it's from. They just know that it's an absurd[ly awesome] sex scene with Monica Bellucci in it.
• MST3K Mantra: If you value your cranium, just turn off your brain and enjoy. Seriously.
• Squick: When Hertz fondles the dead mother.
  • Which then causes him to realize that Smith will need to find the baby a nursemaid.
    • The director laughingly said he hoped that scene won "Best Romantic Moment" at the MTV Movie Awards.
  • Also, when DQ gets the Marilyn Manson wannabe to cooperate with her by ripping his cock-ring out.
  • The fight after the torture scene is made by this trope.
