In-Universe Camera: The various web-cams that the Super Snake has been wired with, plus various other web-cameras standing in for cop cameras and surveillance cameras. Interestingly enough, one of the big complaints of the critics was the rapid-fire switching between regular film and web-cam footage in the action sequences and various web-cam-quality takes that appear unjustified in these montages.

The Reveal: The car the kidnapper assigned Brent belonged to the Kid. She is the daughter of a bank C.E.O. The kidnapper steered them together to eventually try to frame them for robbing the bank while his mooks perform the real robbery.

Wrench Wench: The Kid is this, with her computer skills coming in handy plenty during the film proper and her casually mentioning her tinkering with the Super Snake's engine (after Brent throws it all off-whack with his stunt driving).

comment
Everything Is Online: The kidnapper wired various web-cams to the Super Snake to see Brent's actions, and is able to manipulate events such as closing the city's streets (or probably keeping a hyper-accurate record of which streets end up closed by the collateral damage of the cops chasing Brent) and making a power station explode from a laptop halfway across the world. He also electronically steals many millions and walks away a free man, having used Brent and The Kid as decoys and fall guys for what few henchmen he has on the ground.
