comment
The Can Kicked Him Kong’s first onscreen kill is a man in a toilet. His blood on the floor is actually the background for the opening credits. Joe kills the henchman responsible for raping Aom by shooting him while he’s taking a piss in a toilet.

Pastel-Chalked Freeze Frame: Sometimes when Kong is about to execute someone, the screen stops either on his face screaming or him pulling his trigger towards the camera, and completely freezes, before cutting to the next scene.

Stylistic Suck: The childhood flashback for Kong and Joe is deliberately fuzzy and grainy, seemingly as if it was filmed using old cameras from the 70s, complete with digital patches all over the screen throughout the scene.

Bloody Horror: The movie doesn’t hold back on showing the bloody effects of Kong’s killings, with plenty of close-ups on blood pooling on the dead. Heck, the movie’s opening credits are actually superimposed over the spreading pool of blood of a target Kong shot in a toilet.

 Bangkok Dangerous 1999 / int_b2af79fb
comment
Leave the Camera Running: All over the place. The movie is full of panning shots, scenes where the camera just follows characters around with long pauses without dialogue, shots pointed at static objects or backgrounds that just stays there, Extreme Close-Up on character’s faces which lasts for more than 10 seconds… without these added scenes, the movie would’ve been over in around an hour.

Cycle of Revenge
 Bangkok Dangerous 1999 / int_b7042372
comment
Cycle of Revenge: The entire ending of the film revolves around this trope: Aom gets raped by the boss’ henchman for pissing him off, which results in Joe killing the henchman in anger. The mob boss then orders a hit on Joe, which leads to Joe marching to the boss’ quarters to kill everyone involved in Joe’s death…

Match Cut: During one of his first assassinations, Kong is prepping his sniper rifle on his first target, which is intercut with a little girl on an adjacent balcony firing a Finger Gun on the target, oblivious to Kong’s presence. As the girl did a "shooting" motion on her fingers, Kong pulls his trigger at the same time, and the scene is edited to look like the child’s fingers shot the target through the eye.
