13----
14!!'''This movie contains examples of:'''
15
16* BadassPreacher: One who won't let getting his ''tongue'' torn out stop his singing.
17* BerserkButton: Not surprisingly, the phrase pig-headed is one to the pig-nosed oinking Terrorist Jennings as one of his co-horts finds out.
18* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: The women after being told to stay back, rescue the day. They are even thanked by Taylor for not listening to him.]]
19%%* BMovie
20* BlackComedy: A woman is sexually assaulted by an AIDS-ridden man. It leads to ''one of the funniest lines in the film''.
21%%* BodyHorror
22* CreepyTwins: Creepy ''Siamese'' twins, joined at the head, one with a ''high''-pitched voice, the other with a ''low''-pitched voice. They get separated. With a machete.
23* TheDeterminator: Parker is cornered by several terrorists, who proceed to pump so many bullets into him, he's more lead than flesh. ''And he's still alive'', at least until [[TheQuisling Kirkland]] shoots him in the head.
24%%* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Cooney]]
25* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Most of the protagonists survive the war against the guerrilas and handily beat them.]]
26%%* {{Gorn}}
27* HandicappedBadass: The blind girl; at first a subversion, but then... "I can still ''hear'' you!"
28* HateSink: [[spoiler:Kirkland. At first he's just as whiny Jerkass: But then he hides like a coward during the first battle and doesn't fire a single shot. Then he betrays the group and possibly the U.S to the terrorist. Then he shoots Sean in the climatic battle and then outright executes Parker. Needless to say, it's very satisfying to see him get his comeuppance]]
29* KukrisAreKool: Parker. Uses it to cut his enemies' ears off, to make into a necklace. Of human ears. Yeah.
30* MoreDakka: ''Ya think?'' At the time(and probably ''still''), the record holder for most bullets fired in a single movie.
31%%* NeverMessWithGranny
32* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Parker is so ''obviously'' based on director Creator/LloydKaufman's old buddy, ''Creator/OliverStone''.
33%%* QuirkyMinibossSquad
34%%* TheQuisling: Kirkland
35* ScreamingWoman: Parodied - she's the first to go.
36* SinisterSwine: The main antagonist of the film is a man with pig-like features who gets angry when people makes jokes about it.
37* TheStinger: "Okay, everyone wave! [[spoiler:Dead people, wave!]]"
38* TookALevelInBadass: Pretty much all the heroes, with the exception of [[ShellShockedVeteran Parker]] and [[OvertOperative Marshall]].
39* YouAreTheTranslatedForeignWord: A variant - "This is Senor Sida. SIDA is ''our'' word for what your people call ''AIDS''." (Incidentally, SIDA really ''is'' the acronym for the Spanish name for AIDS.)
