Ironic Echo | |
| Action Jackson / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo/Match Cut: The Invisible Men prepare to burn Jackson alive ("We're going to have ourselves a little barbecue."), until he was rescued by Sydney's bodyguard "Big" Edd. At the end of the fight, Jackson kills the leader with his own flamethrower ("Barbecue, huh? How do you like your ribs?"). The explosion fades to the fire of an actual barbecue grill at the birthday party. | |

Bringing Running Shoes to a Car Chase: After a hitman tries to run over Jackson and Dellaplane's wife Patrice, Jackson chases after him until he jumps on top of the car. Justified since Jackson was a former track star. | |

Mistaken for Suicidal: Jackson's friend Tony's death was shot by one of the Invisible Men, and it was ruled as suicide. Although Tony did try to shot himself in the head in a panic earlier, Jackson correctly believes it wasn't a suicide. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: When Dellaplane has Jackson captured, he brags about how he's going to assassinate a union leader and frame Jackson for the crime, having Gamble, the lone black member of the Invisible Men, be Jackson's double. Dellaplane then leans in out of Gamble's earshot and whispers to Jackson, "You people all look the same anyway." | |

Shirtless Captives | |
| Action Jackson / int_9cabdae7 | comment |
Shirtless Captives: Jackson is captured by the bad guys when his girlfriend is taken hostage. The next time we see him, his shirt is off and his wrists are tied to the ceiling of a car factory. His chief captor explains they plan to stage a car accident, and need to burn him alive to make it look convincing. He is saved at the very last minute. Except maybe for Fanservice, no explanation ever given even in the grand explication for why it is necessary for him to be bare-chested. Considering Gamble is holding his shirt, it's going to be used as part of his Jackson disguise. | |
