* DarkerAndEdgier: While it starts off as a standards Eighties cop action thriller, the subplot involving police cover-up of an unarmed teen getting shot delves into a topic most other cop movies of the era wouldn't touch.

Many consider this Chuck Norris' best film as it allows him more depth to his character, allowing him to deal with a moral dilemma as well as physical combat.

* AluminiumChristmasTrees: The Prowler was an actual robot built in TheEighties, though designed as an autonomous SentryGun rather than an aid to law enforcement, hence its excessive armament.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Averted. It's a familiar scene. A cop strolls into a bar looking for information and is forced into a fight. Oh and the cop here is played by [[MemeticBadass Chuck Norris]]. Surely, we're about to see an epic, [[CurbStompBattle one-sided]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatdown]] from which he'll [[InvincibleHero emerge with barely a scratch]]? Nope! Cusack takes out a few guys with his martial arts skills but the men catch on and he's quickly overwhelmed by sheer numbers and defeated, only leaving alive because the villain spared him. Even someone incredibly tough and skilled can be defeated when drastically outnumbered.
