| 8 | !!This film provides examples of: |
| 9 | * TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Technology hasn't advanced much beyond the invention of virtual reality. |
| 10 | * BadassLongcoat: Falcon wears a slick black longcoat for no other reason than to make him look cool. He doesn't really live up to it, as he's repeatedly beaten up by mooks. |
| 11 | * TheLostLenore: Falcon's wife Julie was killed in a bombing meant to kill him. Afterwards, he became an alcoholic recluse, until his former employers convince him to do OneLastJob. He runs into her virtual ghost in a bar in cyberspace, and falls in love with her again. |
| 12 | * MegaCorp: Zircon not only has the power to sentence prisoners to death, but is also using the virtual prison to dispose of its enemies. |
| 13 | * MindPrison: Zircon manages such a prison, disposing of people by putting them in cryostasis and projecting their minds into the virtual world. Falcon goes inside the mental prison to track down a specific person. It's not just some illegal experiment, either; with the film's {{Cyberpunk}} undertones, it's clear that the company can legally determine life-and-death questions. |
