* MindScrew: The first film's plot gets increasingly complicated and decreasingly explained as the running time goes on, to the point some of the cast members have gone to say not even they could understand it.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The second film gives the BigBad a cadre of black-clad killer monks whose faces are completely invisible underneath their hoods. No civilian ever reacts to these guys in any way until someone starts shooting, even when the monks are already dragging another civilian down a supermarket aisle, daggers drawn.
