| 1 | !!! YMMV for the film Red |
| 2 | * AccidentalInnuendo: The first film has the tagline, "There's no substitute for experience." They were referring to fighting, but it did costar Helen Mirren... |
| 3 | * AdaptationDisplacement: Loosely based on the comic miniseries of the same name. The movie is less serious and gory. |
| 4 | * CargoShip: Han ''really'' likes his plane. |
| 5 | * FridgeBrilliance: If you know your cars or watch ''Series/TopGearUK'', the fact that the team visits Dunning's mansion in a Mercedes-Benz 600 is ''incredibly'' appropriate for the dictator disguise, as the list of former owners is overwhelmingly populated by dictators and other unsavory rulers, including Park Chung-hee, UsefulNotes/JosipBrozTito, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Pol Pot, Enver Hoxha, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, UsefulNotes/IdiAmin, Robert Mugabe, UsefulNotes/FerdinandMarcos, [[UsefulNotes/TheRulersOfNorthKorea Kim Il-sung]], UsefulNotes/SaddamHussein and perhaps in particular, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier. |
| 6 | * FridgeHorror: Cooper asked his supervisor why Frank and the others were marked for death. His supervisor stated angrily that she was not read into it. Which means that they could have been killing all these people because someone high up didn't like them for all they knew, and they didn't have a problem with that. |
| 7 | * GeniusBonus: The reason feet are such a common fetish is because the feet and the erogenous zones connect to sections of the brain which are very close together, and it's not uncommon for wires to get crossed occasionally. This puts Victoria's toe curling in an entirely different light. |
| 8 | * HilariousInHindsight: In the second film, Byung-hun Lee being on the other side of the GatlingGood, as compared with his character in ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven2016''. |
| 9 | * QuestionableCasting: Both movies run heavily on this trope, with aging, serious, Academy Award nominated/winning actors like Creator/JohnMalkovich, Creator/HelenMirren, Creator/MorganFreeman and Creator/AnthonyHopkins kicking ass in an action-comedy. |
| 10 | * SugarWiki/RuleOfSeanConnery: Warren Ellis said any changes from the comic were justified by the presence of Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle. |
| 11 | -->'''Ellis:''' I mean, if you don't want to see a film with Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle, I’m not sure I want to know you. |
| 12 | * TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler: Joe. Twice.]] |
| 13 | * {{Woolseyism}}: The European Spanish dub changes "Retired, Extremely Dangerous" to the Spanish translation of "Retired Spy Network" so the RED acronym can be kept. |
