* StimulantSpeedtalk: [[LondonGangster The Duke]] and [[DarkMistress Slasher]] are both encountered doing lines of coke early in the film, and probably do more offscreen given that both are prone to going on extremely loud, fast-paced rants at the slightest provocation. Mounting stress only makes them even more coke-addled and mouthy, especially once the Serbian gang they robbed sends an assassin after them. In their emergency meeting with Gene, Slasher goes off on a screaming rant that ends with her loudly and repeatedly threatening to go to the police, almost sounding like she's stuck on a loop. [[spoiler: It gets her shot in the head by Gene's bodyguard, who then guns down the Duke for good measure.]]



* StupidCrooks: The Duke and his "gang". They seem to think they're some sort of genius criminal operation, when in fact they're just a bunch of loudmouthed wannabe gangsters. They can't figure out the goddamn directions on a road map, they rip off the sort of people (Serbian war criminals turned regular criminals) who will gladly have them decapitated, their heist is amateurish as all hell (including showing their faces and the girl in the gang accidentally discharging her weapon that kills a random Dutch flower warehouse worker), and [[spoiler:most of them end up dead by pissing off their business partners as well.]]

* WhamShot: At the end, it's revealed that the ecstasy pills stolen by the Duke and his gang was only a fraction of the output produced by the Serbian operation, as their warehouse houses a full-scale industrial production room behind another door.
