For all she knew by that point, the BigBad of each film could have sent either TheDragon or a {{Mook}} to ambush her after coercing someone close to her into divulging the RedHerring against his/her will via phone.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Happens when Terry hits a mook in the back of the head, knocking his eyes out. The effect is shown using a pair of googly eyes. Horrifying the first time, ''hilarious'' everytime after.

** Otaguro comes very close, but he doesn't get the chance to seal his crossing of it before Don Costello shoots him three times (twice in the R-rated version). Don Costello himself crosses it by ordering his men to [[spoiler:blind Kitty]], if he didn't already do so by sending them to complete the Mafia's contract on Masaoka, which results in [[spoiler:Yamagami, Ken Mao, and Gorasing]] dying and Masaoka himself being tagged in the arm.
** Frankie Black crosses it when he kills Huo Feng in cold blood during an ambush.
** The villains cross it by kidnapping Rika (Shurei's daughter) and using her as live bait with which to ensnare Tina Long. Ebikura proves himself even more sadistic when he leaves Kurozaki for dead and tries to take Tina and Rika down in the process, and the BigBad crosses it by [[spoiler:killing Shurei, who protected Rika from a trio of bullets he had fired at them]].
* {{Narm}}: "I don't have to stand for any of that stuff, you pig bastard!", originally spoken by Kimiko when someone tries to make out with her over the phone while she's on the job as an operator, becomes this when she taunts a would-be rapist during the dance scene. Reused recording, much?

* FridgeBrilliance: Terry wanted to make sure Junjo got the deathmatch against him that he wished for ASAP, otherwise he wouldn't have been such an asshole to his siblings. Then again, when Junjo first intercepted him later on, he was already preoccupied with something else at the moment:
-->'''Junjo''': ''I've waited a long time to settle the score!''\\
'''Terry''': Don't be too impatient, I'll see you another time.
