Improvised Weapon: The climax shows Pollock killing the villains with a ladder - by jamming it down through the girders under a bridge into the rotor of their helicopter as they fly below trying to shoot him.

Helicopter Blender: Completely averted, when Pollock defeats the Big Bad, by dropping a ladder on his helicopter, completely shattering the rotor, and causing the airlift to fall.

I Was Never Here: A variation - when Pollock recognizes the Prime Minister, and says he didn't know they were in England, the Prime Minister responds, "You're right. I am not here." As it turns out, that's not even the Prime Minister, but an imposter.
