History Film / TwoGuns

* ThrowItIn: According to the commentary, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg ad-libbed many of the their best lines.

Bobby Trench (Creator/DenzelWashington) is an undercover DEA Agent trying to take down drug lord Papi Greco for his cocaine dealing ways. After being given a two week deadline by his boss, and facing a major set-back when the man he was trying to flip on Papi ends up dead, he listens to his acquaintance Stig (Creator/MarkWahlberg) and agrees to rob the bank where Papi keeps the money from his operation. Unfortunately for him, Stigman's an undercover US Navy officer and the bank they just robbed was full of the CIA's money. Who really want it back. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Because it's their money]]. Neither Stig or Bobby realize the other isn't a lowlife crook. HilarityEnsues.

-->'''Stig''': When's the last time you saw me miss?

* IronicEcho: "Three inches to the left and ..." and "When's the last time you saw me miss?"
** Also, "It was unexpected, that's why it's a brilliant plan."

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Bobby warns Stig about mouthing off at the mooks because their heads could end up in a bowling bag. Stig says it wouldn't be possible, because two heads wouldn't fit in one bag.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: While being held at gunpoint by someone wanting his car keys, Stig shoves them in his pants, all the while cracking wise. However, it's really a trick, as he waits for the keys to slide down his pants leg, and then kicks them up into the air to distract the man while he goes for his own pistol.

* ReusableLighterToss: Stig (Mark Wahlberg) tosses a Zippo lighter in a diner to start a fire [[spoiler: for a distraction]] at the beginning of the film.

* WorldOfBadass: Nearly all the major cast members qualify, but Bobby and Stig can outgun them all.
