* FakeAssassination: {{ZigZagged|Trope}}. The film first appears to play this straight, by having David Chan arrange a fake assassination attempt on himself, at a UN summit, during which he takes a bullet in his arm. But it's later revealed that, [[spoiler: 1.) Chan wasn't the actual target, it was Chinese ambassador, Chin Xi Wu. The only reason Chan was shot, was to make it appear they were both being targeted. 2.) The shot that hit Chan was fake. When Shaw corners him, and removes the bandage, there wasn't a wound. 3.) Then Chan gets KilledOffForReal, seconds later, by the assassin he hired: Shaw's former teammate, Bly.]]

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Shaw's love interest turns out to have been a professional double agent who arranged Mother's death and manipulated Shaw in order to fool him into doing the [[BigBad Big Bad's]] dirty work. She and the Big Bad then reveal the truth to him in a WeCanRuleTogether moment. Shaw is understandably cross and coldly executes her and frames the Big Bad for it.]]

* GambitPileup: [[spoiler: Chan and his triad allies wanted to kill Wu and derail the U.S.-China trade agreement so he could maintain his monopoly on business operations in China. Hooks was working with him, but was actually planning to betray and kill him, implicating the U.N. in the deaths of both Wu and Chan in order to discredit the U.N. and return America to a more nationalist, anti-globalist policy.]]
* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler: Hooks is the leader of the U.N.'s extralegal black ops, an extremely sensitive position seemingly charged with increasing the U.N.'s power through questionably legal means, while actually being a member of a group of nationalist American power brokers who want to discredit the U.N. and return to one nation politics.]]

The Secretary General even notes that if the trade agreement goes through under the U.N.'s auspices instead of the Americans', it may finally allow the U.N. to become a world power.
