Ambiguous Situation: Zacharias's lieutenant, Nick Franco, manages to survive the shootout Kersey engineers and later shows up working for the fake Nathan, but it is unrevealed if he was working with Nathan to take out his competitors from the start or merely decided to Kneel Before Zod when Nathan took over the remnants of the organization.

Bittersweet Ending: Probably the most bittersweet of the series. The movie ends with Paul having killed the bastard who manipulated him into doing his dirty work, wiping out most of the Los Angeles mob and drug trade, but having lost both his girlfriend—again—and her daughter in the bargain. What's especially bad is that despite the dangerous situation, it looks as though his girlfriend might make it, only to be killed off at literally the last minute. This could apply to all the films, as Paul emerges victorious, but inevitability loses someone he loves in the course of the story. Paul then walks away into the night dejectedly, not caring if Detective Reiner kills him or not.

Actionized Sequel: The film follows the tradition of its predecessor by being more of an action film than the urban thriller the first film was.

Big Bad: Nathan White. Or rather, a drug lord pretending to be Nathan White.

Attempted Rape: In the beginning scene, a group of thugs try to sexually assault a woman in a parking lot, but Kersey appears just in time to prevent the deed.
