Decided to add a quote of a line in the movie that best describes Ice-T's character in this.

Added DiffLines:

-->-- '''Jack Mason'''

None

Added DiffLines:

* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: Cole insists that Mason must have someone who cares about him and who he should live for while trying to talk him out of suicide, with Mason saying he has no one. A RewatchBonus makes it clear that Cole is just asking this to make sure that [[DisposableVagrant no one will notice Mason is gone]] if he ends up the victim of a HuntingTheMostDangerousGame racket.


Added DiffLines:

* PursuedProtagonist: The opening scene is intercut with showing the protagonist's miserable life (and the loss of his dog) and another man being chased through the woods and murdered by the same [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunters]] who will soon target the hero.

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The pack of cigarettes that Doc Hawkins gives to Mason come into play when the now-hunted man has to create a diversion. [[FridgeLogic How they end up perfectly dry after an impromptu swim in a river is a bit of a mystery]]. Even Mason is surprised by that.]]
