* GenderBenderAngst: Frank is ''very'' unhappy he was subjected to a [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror forced sex reassignment]], and even looks into a surgery that could at least somewhat undo this. However, he settles for vengeance against the {{mad doctor}} who did this instead as he's told it would never be the same.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: After his [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror unwanted sex reassignment]], Frank gets back at Dr. Jane [[spoiler: by mutilating her hands so she could never operate again]].
* IfItsYouItsOkay: After Frank's [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror unwilling sex reassignment surgery]], his girlfriend Johnnie has no problem continuing their relationship, suggesting this.

* MadDoctor: Dr. Rachel Jane is an arrogant though highly skilled surgeon with delusions of grandeur who's been stripped of her license for illegal experiments. After that, she operates illegally in an underground clinic, performing more experiments on homeless people for what she claims is advancing medical knowledge. However, when a hitman murders her brother, she subjects him to a [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror sex reassignment]] both to punish and change him (supposedly) for the better. After he kills most of her employees, plus shooting her, in revenge, she's found out by the police and sent to a mental institution.
* MagicPlasticSurgery: Frank (Creator/MichelleRodriguez heavily made up to look male) becomes a female version of himself physically (Rodriguez as herself) after [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror undergoing involuntary sex reassignment surgeries]]. This would in reality require long recovery time between each procedure and have visible scarring (the {{mad doctor}} who did it was ''just that good'').
* MaleFrontalNudity: Early on Frank shows this stepping out of the shower, perhaps to emphasize his appearance before he's given an [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror unwilling sex reassignment]].

* {{Revenge}}: Dr. Rachel Jane wants revenge on Frank, the hitman who murdered her brother. So she gets a crime lord to kidnap him, then [[ForcedGenderReassignmentHorror performs a sex reassignment]] (partly to "help" him in her view). He's horrified, then seeks revenge on her in turn, along with employees of the gangster who helped kidnap him for Jane, then them and also her {{mooks}}.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: After Frank's unwilling sex reassignment surgery, his girlfriend Johnnie has no problem continuing their relationship, suggesting either this or that she's bi, since she likes him in female form too.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Dr. Rachel Jane is coldly indifferent to most people, and views most as simply test subjects, However, she still feels something for her brother, and sought out the hitman who killed him in revenge. That hitman in question, Frank, is also an example. He has a girlfriend he's obviously fond of, and takes care of a pit bull who'd been forced to fight. Additionally, he's got some close Latino friends.

* PetTheDog: Literally when Frank kills a russian dog fighter and adopts the pooch, due to having a soft spot for dogs. [[spoiler: And again when he learns Johnnie's partly responsible for what happened to him, but is too in love with her to execute her, so he sends her off to Reno for safety and possibly a new life.]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After learning what was done to him, Frank goes after the criminal employees of gangster "Honest John" who helped Dr. Jane to do this, killing them off before he gets John himself, then Jane and her {{mooks}} after this. [[spoiler:Jane survives, but is left stuck in a mental institution.]]

* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Johnnie takes it to extreme heights, as she's completely unperturbed by Frank's new appearance, and has no questions or comments beyond noting how different he looks when she first sees him post sex reassignment. She stays with him afterward, completely accepting, without hesitation. It also seems she's entirely aware that he's a hitman, and doesn't mind at all.

* GetOut: Frank yells this to one of his allies.

* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr. Rachel Jane was a surgeon whose unethical and illegal experiments meant she lost her license. This didn't stop her though-she just went underground with them. However, this is contrasted with normal psychiatrist Dr. Ralph Gales who's assessing her and considers what she did completely wrong and notes she betrayed her oath as a physician..

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Dr. Rachel Jane is coldly indifferent to most people, and views most as simply test subjects, However, she still feels something for her brother, and sought out the hitman who killed him in revenge. That hitman in question, Frank, is also an example. He has a girlfriend he's obviously fond of, and takes care of a pit bull who'd been forced to fight. Additionally, he's some close Latino friends.

* GenderBender: Frank gets a full sex reassignment via {{magic plastic surgery}}, and results in him going from physically male to then looking like Creator/MichelleRodriguez (who played him in both cases).

* HollywoodLaw: Dr. Rachel Jane is said to have been ruled incompetent to stand trial, so she's put into a mental institution instead, where a psychiatrist evaluates her to see if she's become competent (he decides she's not after attacking him). We see no indication she would be incompetent though, which simply means that they are able to understand the proceedings and aid in their defense. Jane is quite intelligent, so there's every indication she could do both of those things. Being ruled incompetent usually requires a defendant be severely mentally impaired from disability, a mental illness, brain damage or senility.

* HiddenBuxom: Due to his discomfort at them, Frank tapes down his breasts.

* BiTheWay: Johnnie, Frank's girlfriend, appears to like women (or people in female form) too, as she's got no problem having sex with him (or at least trying) after he's been subject to unwilling sex reassignment.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: After being given an unwanted sex change, Frank gets back at Dr. Jane [[spoiler: by mutilating her hands so she could never operate again]].

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Prior to hid crimes, Frank sleeps with his girlfriend Johnnie. Then after his unwanted gender reassignment surgery, he continues his sexual relationship with her (or at least try to) while identifying himself as a lesbian in his new self.
