Mythology Gag: This time, Joe is The Hero and protagonist, while Kong is Joe’s sidekick and partner, a reverse of the original version.

Make It Look Like an Accident: Joe executes his hired help in this manner. His second onscreen kill, which is his helper from an assassination mission in Prague, gets knocked out non-lethally before Joe pumps drugs into his veins to make his death look like an overdose.

Blood Is Squicker in Water: During the scene where Joe executes his target in the floating market, Joe puts four bullets through his target which penetrates the bottom of the motorboat, leaving behind red-tainted bullet streaks underwater.

Abled in the Adaptation: Nicolas Cage’s Joe, the Expy to Kong from the original, isn’t a deaf-mute assassin.

Half the Man He Used to Be: In the final shootout, an Elite Mook takes on Joe directly and managed to pin him down for a few seconds, until Joe shoves a grenade into his opponent’s belt and slams the mook into a wall. The explosion cuts said mook into half from the waist in a rather messy way.

Joe kills the Big Bad, Surat, and himself together using the same method Kong used to execute the unnamed mob boss, by putting their heads together and firing a single shot for a One-Hit Polykill.

Actionized Adaptation: There are more shootouts, fight scenes, and action in this version than the 1999 original, including a boat chase, another extended assassination in a pool, and a longer climatic shootout with more faceless mooks Joe had to kill before confronting Surat.

Death Montage: Same as the original movie, although Joe’s hits are more varied and involves him killing European and American mobsters as well, due to the character being changed to an international-based hitman.

Leave No Survivors: Joe, unlike Kong from the previous version who have a best friend for backup, instead prefers to hire local small-time pickpockets or criminals as local help. When the assassination is complete, Joe then offs his new helper before moving on to the next mission.
