The Cartel: Harold's business trip to Mexico goes awry, and not least because drug cartels are involved. | |

Action Survivor: Harold is just a businessman with no training combat whatsoever and finds himself forced to survive amidst chases and shootouts. | |

| Gringo / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: Villegas claims that he will let Harold go after he opens the vault because killing Americans attracts far more attention than it is worth. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
| Gringo / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Harold's accountant. If he hadn't told Harold about the merger, Harold would have returned with Richard and Elaine from Mexico and the movie would've ended after the first act. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Gringo / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Pretty much everyone who wronged Harold over the course of the movie gets comeuppance except for Elaine, who shifts the blame to Richard and even goes on to be hosted on talk shows to tell Harold's story. | |

Berserk Button: Villegas has very strong opinions about The Beatles. So strong that he will shoot you in the face if you insult them or say that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was their best album. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Not only does Miles arrive in Mexico to steal a sample of Promethium's product at the same time Harold travels down there, he and Sunny keep running into the guy wherever they go. | |

Gambit Pileup | |
| Gringo / int_de9047ac | comment |
Gambit Pileup: This movie is effectively one long gambit pileup, as various individual characters' plans intersect, collide, and modify each other. Richard's plan to sell the business to another pharmaceutical company. Richard and Elaine's plan to cut off the cartels so as not to endanger the merger. The cartel head's plan to kidnap Harold so he can open the drug lab's vault. A store clerk hired by a rival pharmaceutical company to try to steal some of that drug. Harold's plan to fake his own kidnapping for a $5 million ransom. The kids who run the hotel plan to turn Harold over to that drug lord. Richard's ex-mercenary-turned-aid-worker brother first plans to rescue Harold for a reward, then changes his plan to going in with Harold to con Richard out of the ransom, then changes it to killing Harold to help Richard collect on his life insurance. The cartel head's right-hand man is actually a deep-cover DEA agent with his own agenda. | |
