Chekhov's Gun | |
| Bullet to the Head / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: In form of a literal gun. Jimmy managed to unload a mag from the gun of his contact before confronting him. After a tense moment the contact goes for his gun and tries to shoot Bobo In the Back. Jimmy instantly presents the mag, dropping the line of bullets, not guns, killing people. Then his own gun jams and he's forced into a brawl with the contact. In the end he collects both the mag and pistol, reloads and instantly shoots the traitor. | |

| Bullet to the Head / int_3107a493 | comment |
Open Heart Dentistry: Lisa removed a bullet from Taylor's arm and patched it up. Quite a feat for someone who was in med school for a year or something. Or as she notes maybe she got a better hang of it each time her father brings someone to patch up. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Bobo may be a killer-for-hire, but he mentions that he refuses to kill women and children. Keegan doesn't take it well when Morel considers his deceased comrades expendable. | |

You Fight Like a Cow: Keegan mocks and antagonizes Bobo throughout their fight; combined with his various threats towards Lisa, it appears he simply has a taste for psychological warfare. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Morel decides that Bobo and Kwon only did him a favor by kidnapping Baptiste. When he is giving instructions to mooks, he openly declares that Mr. Baptiste can bite the dust in the process of reclaiming his data, since he already helped to make all the important deals and now is nothing more than a liability. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| Bullet to the Head / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: The entire film seems to run on the philosophy of having the main character solve all of his conflicts by killing people. It not always work as intended. | |

Non-Action Guy | |
| Bullet to the Head / int_cc1bd54d | comment |
Non-Action Guy: Kwon, though justified that he was shot in the shoulder early in the film and has stitches in his arm that would break easily. Lisa, Jimmy's daughter, who isn't much of a fighter given she works as a tattoo artist, but makes up for it by being a medic. When Keegan shows for her, she puts a legitimate, if doomed, resistance. | |

Old Cop, Young Cop: All pieces are in the place. Jimmy is older, more experienced and bitter. Taylor is younger, by-the-book and better with new technologies. The wrinkle is that Bobo is a professional killer. | |

Lightning Bruiser: Keegan is extremely fast and agile, in addition to being impressively strong. Jimmy himself is no slouch either, while being surprisingly fast for his size. His enemies are shocked by his pace at least twice . | |

Worst Aid: Keegan pulled out a knife that Jimmy lodged in his throat. The wound itself was fatal already, but doing so would kill him before he could do anything. Taylor shoot him before Keegan even managed to drop dead. | |

Let Off by the Detective: In the end, Taylor warns Jimmy that he will arrest him for any future crime and let him go just like that. It's not that Jimmy managed to plow his way through the film, leaving dozens of bodies behind and Taylor watched it all. | |

Product Placement | |
| Bullet to the Head / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: There's a whole sequence where we establish that Jimmy is so committed to drinking only Bulleit Bourbon that he will bring a bottle to bars and pay for the use of a shot glass. The bourbon is treated as an exotic and rare brand, while today it's become quite mainstream, perhaps due to marketing efforts like this one. | |

My Sister Is Off-Limits!: Literally. Bobo warns Kwon to stay away from his daughter. Of course, Kwon doesn't listen and begins to see her while in rehab after being shot in the same shoulder that he was shot earlier in the film and Lisa helped in taking out the bullet. Bobo is not amused. | |
