* FakingTheDead: At the start, the villainous organization BIG O assassinates various ICE agents and are looking to include Matt in the list of the deceased. He fakes his death through an explosion in his house before that can happen, complete with a funeral that a dozen of his lovers, standing all in a row, attend.
* GirlOfTheWeek: Suzie Solaris, the daughter of Dr. Solaris, is Matt's main love interest for this movie. On the bad guys' side there is Coco Duquette, who has a bit of a crush on Dr. Solaris and doesn't want to see him hurt.
* MeaningfulName: Dr. Norman Solaris. He created the heliobeam, a weapon capable of mass destruction that's powered by the Sun.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The heliobeam harnesses the sun's light for the purpose of mass destruction.
* RuleOfPool: Like [[Film/TheSilencers the previous movie]], it ends with Matt and the GirlOfTheWeek accidentally activating a mechanism in Matt's bed that throws them into his pool.
* TakeThat: Matt gets rid of an explosive by throwing it at a picture of Music/FrankSinatra that's being projected on the ceiling.
