* SerialEscalation: The MacGuffin weapon of mass destruction of the first film was (somewhat realistic) nuclear-tipped Tomahawk missiles. The weapon of mass destruction of this film is an earthquake machine KillSat. Strannix's goal with the missiles was to sell them to enemy countries (and then try to blow up a Hawaiian island when he undergoes VillainousBreakdown). Dane's plan is to turn a significant chunk of the Eastern Seaboard (starting from Washington, D.C.) into a nuclear wasteland and he turns a significant chunk of China into a ''chemical'' wasteland just as a demonstration.

* InvincibleHero: Ryback gets a pretty hefty upgrade in between movies. For comparison: on the first movie he gets mauled pretty badly when he sabotages the villains' getaway submarine and needs a ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind by the GirlOfTheWeek to save his ass and some time patching up the wound. On this film, Ryback gets ''shot in the shoulder'' and the only real result is him leaving a few tiny streaks of blood on a locomotive and the sidekick noticing the wound and getting a BadassBoast in return. Aside from this, it never even so much as makes him wince or even confirmation whether or not it truly is JustAFleshWound.
