History Film / AngelHasFallen

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Wade is the CEO of Salient Global, personally leads his remaining men in the attack on the President in the climax, and goes toe-to-toe in a gunfight and knife fight with Mike at the end.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: From the first film we learn that President Asher was the direct successor to Barack Obama (due to a portrait of Obama being seen in the White House), and we also learn that Asher won reelection. However, the end sequence shows President Trumbull at a G20 meeting with several real life world leaders [[note]]actually taken from real footage from the 2017 G20 meeting, with Trumbull digitally replacing Turkish president Erdogan[[/note]], including Angela Merkel who retired in 2021. As such, it can be assumed that ''Angel Has Fallen'' takes place in 2021 at the latest, if it is also assumed that Obama did not contest the 2012 election, paving the way for Asher in 2012 and 2016, then Trumbull in 2020.

* FinalBattle: Wade and his mercenaries making another attempt on Trumbull's life, with only Mike, Gentry, and a small SWAT squad standing between them.

* RedshirtArmy: Unsurprisingly, and a bit annoyingly for the series once again anyone protecting the president who isn’t Wade is likely to get killed, although some last long enough or out up good enough fights to qualify as {{Mauve Shirt}}s and [[spoiler: Gentry also clearly makes it out]].

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Vice President Martin Kirby is responsible for the crisis, with Wade Jennings as his DragonInChief.]]

* DenserAndWackier / LighterAndSofter: An extremely mild case. While still deathly serious, the film does feature more humor and a generally lower bodycount than the previous films.

* TheDragon: Travis Cole to Wade Jennings, [[spoiler: and Wade Jennings to Martin Kirby.]]

* GeneralRipper: Despite not being a general, Vice President Kirby still fits the trope in spirit with his dogged determination to start a war with Russia over the assassination attempt on Trumbull. [[spoiler:Taken even further when it turns out he arranged the attempt so he could start the war.]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:After Mike mortally wounds Wade in their FinalBattle, Wade calmly sits down and tells Mike that he was glad he died fighting against Mike.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Deconstructed. Wade kills [[spoiler:Agent Thompson and her partner]] for knowing to much about his operations, but it proved useless since he doesn’t have enough time to destroy the evidence she collected; in fact, it gives him an increasingly short timespan to kill Trumbull. [[spoiler:This winds up getting Vice President Kirby arrested.]]

* InspectorJavert: FBI Agent Helen Thompson is hunting Mike because she's genuinely convinced that he's a traitor. [[spoiler: When Mike provides just enough evidence of his innocence, she switches gears and goes after Wade.]]

Now that Trumbull is the President of the United States, it can be assumed that ''Angel Has Fallen'' takes place in 2025 at the earliest (as presidents are inaugurated the January following the November election).
* WarHawk: After President Trumbull is left in a coma, Vice President Kirby begins preparing for war against Russia, which evidence faked by Salient shows to be behind the assassination attempt. [[spoiler:This is the biggest clue that he is the mastermind behind the assassination attempt.]]
