* KickTheDog: The mercenaries - especially Arkady and Tatiana - are portrayed as merciless psychopaths who murder innocent civilians without giving them a chance to surrender. One particularly notable instance has Arkdady shoot a trio of sports presenters - for nothing more than dramatic effect - after one has finished reading a televised statement of demands. He then follows up Steed's attempt to initiate contact and negotiate (standard "let a few hostages go as a show of good faith") by threatening to execute a similar amount of female hostages to those he releases and toss the corpses off the rooftop in front of the press "as a show of resilience" and ordering Steed to just give him what he wants.

* CIAEvilFBIGood: Replace "FBI" with "London Police" in this instance. The CIA stands in for the FBI of ''Die Hard'', prioritizing eliminating Arkady and keeping Dimitri's existence a secret over the safety of the civilians in the stadium. Agent Cho, the CIA liaison on the ground, also makes a couple of snarking remarks about [[SoccerHatingAmericans how much he hates soccer]] as he makes clear the aforementioned lack of care about civilian lives (unsurprisingly this makes [[DaChief Superintendent Steed]] decide [[RageBreakingPoint to smash his nose in]]).

* {{Retirony}}: The sports broadcast mentions early and repeatedly that it's the final football game before the stadium is demolished (there is also a "Farewell, Boleyn!" dangling from the rafters that becomes a ChekhovsGun). A significant chunk of said demolition happens way ahead of schedule at the climax.

** Tatiana chases Knox along said roof on a motorcycle, so she qualifies as a female version - probably too much of a toughie to be classed as a BikerBabe.

Spiritual Successor trope moved to YMMV page


* SpiritualSuccessor: To the 1995 Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme movie ''Film/SuddenDeath'' in many ways. Similarities include:
** One man attempting to save thousands of unaware spectators from armed villains at a sporting event.
** The hero attends the event with a young female relative.
** Villains hold said relative hostage.
** One of the earliest fights is in the stadium's kitchen.
** The villains are initially unaware of Knox but decide to use him after he kills a few of them.
