* ItsQuietTooQuiet: Vinh goes on his lonesome ([[WhatAnIdiot without telling anyone]]) to see just what the transshipment company is up to with the VACRF's "medical supplies". There's absolutely nobody else in the warehouse and it's eerily quiet in there.

Added DiffLines:
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Unlike a lot of action movies, Gleaming The Cube averts this and makes very clear that Vinh's death is Brian's motivation for his actions throughout the film.
Added DiffLines:
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Somewhat downplayed. Brian isn't looking for eye-for-an-eye revenge against Vinh's killers; he wants to see them arrested and imprisoned. Even when he blows up the warehouse, it's to ensure that the police find the evidence to arrest Lawndale and Trac.
Added DiffLines:
* WrongGenreSavvy: Thanks to an out of context translation, Brian thinks that Vinh might have been killed because of involvement in drugs at one point in the film.

* ChekhovsGun: Early in the film, a very white detective is shown to speak Vietnamese because he served in the war. Much later, Detective Lucero is sweating a couple young Vietnamese speakers in the presence of this detective, and they unwittingly reveal their secret.

This film is a minor cult classic among people who remember TheEighties, but for the most part it tends to be overshadowed by Slater's later, far more memorable works {{Film/Heathers}} and Film/PumpUpTheVolume.
