Chekhov's Gun: When Max is not allowed to chew gum, he puts it in a napkin with the address of a lodge he was supposed to go to in the mountain and gives it to one of the mothers. She later finds the address on the napkin.

Would Hurt a Child
 Bushwhacked / int_479d4e5a
comment
Would Hurt a Child: Bragden, although Palmer is more reluctant. The kids believe that Max would, if he discovered that they know his secret. So they try to knock him out without his knowledge and get on their knees to beg for their lives when the secret's out, befuddling Max.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When the scouts discover that 1) Max is not a scout leader, but a wanted criminal and 2) Max's got a gun, they all get scared when they let the fact that they know out around Max and they all get on their knees to beg for their lives...

Parking Payback
 Bushwhacked / int_6e5c03dc
comment
Parking Payback: Erikson has a pretty mild version of it, all things considered, involving super-gluing the label "I Am An Inconsiderate Person" to the driver's side window of the guy that made such a thing.

"No Peeking!" Request: Some kids want to hurl projectiles at some people. The girl of the group tells the boys to close their eyes. When the camera does cut back to the kids, we see that the kids are using the girl's training bra.

Too Dumb to Live
 Bushwhacked / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Max isn't exactly the brightest guy around. When he is framed he makes the situation worse by pointing a gun at the FBI, stealing two cars, and kidnapping children. He also shows a complete lack of basic survival skills. He messes with a bear cub, drinks bug repellent instead of spraying it on, and mistakes a bee hive for a pinecone. It is a wonder he is still alive.

Faking the Dead: Reinhart Bragden fakes his death for insurance money, setting up Max as the murderer because "nobody cares about Max". Later, Max and the kids fake their own deaths to fool Bragden and Palmer.
