Bittersweet Ending: Bordering on Downer Ending. Diane successfully manages to fight back and kill Lep and his accomplices, but the whole ordeal has left her exhausted and traumatized, and it's very likely she'll never truly recover.

Cool Car: Harry owns a very nice 1970 Corvette. Also, in a villainous example, the thugs' 1967 Camaro.

Car Fu: Lep meets his demise while attempting to stop Diane from escaping in Harry's car; he climbs onto the roof of the moving vehicle and tries to wrest her away from the controls, only for her to shake him off the hood and run him over.
