In particular the scene where Shane explains in detail said laws tends to be brought up whenever this movie is discussed. [[note]]It should also be noted that if one takes a closer look at the Romeo and Juliet Statue in Texas, one will discover that said law only protects Shane in situations involving sexual assault, as Tessa (age 17) had already given consent to him when he was also a minor with an age gap difference of less then three years. However, once Shane became a legal adult, no statue will change the fact that he (age 20) is in a relationship with a minor; with age 18 and an age gap of less then two years being the legal minimum necessary to engage in sexual conduct. As such, their relationship would meet all the legal standards to constitute statutory rape.[[/note]]

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The entire idea of setting the climax in Hong Kong was a very clear attempt to appeal to the now-burgeoning Chinese international audience, which was a signature element of the 2010s. However, the pro-Chinese military slant, and ''especially'' the idea of showing the Chinese military operating in Hong Kong to aid the heroes without a hint of critique or irony? After the 2019 protests in Hong Kong that saw militarized police under the arm of the Chinese government clashing with pro-democracy activists, and China changing the laws to give them a political stranglehold over what they saw as an upstart, that's something that ''no'' Hollywood film would try to get away with.
