comment
Product Displacement: The video game systems that Tony plays, and are later converted into spy gadgets, all have their identifying logos and button symbols removed; however, they're still recognizable as popular brands in other ways, such as one scene of Patty holding a pair of Joy-Cons.

In Medias Res: The film begins with the kids, Tony and Patty Tango-Torrez, exploring what looks like an ancient temple with some built-in technology before falling into a dark hole that the opening title appears from. It then cuts back to a few days earlier before any danger occurred, and is revisited in the second half of the film where it turns out to be a part of The King's Supervillain Lair and the hole is a harmless secret passage.

Hollywood Hacking: What the Armageddon code is capable of. It can hack into any system in the world with ease. It is so good, not even the creator, Terrence, can stop it. It's because it wasn't actually him that completed the code. He stole the basis and worked on it, but he was incapable of finishing it. It was actually his son, Tony, that completed the code without knowing that he did so.

comment
Heroic Sacrifice: In the climactic fight, Terrence tries to defeat The King by throwing his hammer at him, but it's against the rules of the game, so Tony jumps in and takes the hit so his father won't get penalized. As The King intended for his game to better humanity, this act of self-sacrifice then awards Tony enough points for a revival and the power to defeat The King.

Five-Aces Cheater: Tony's lack of integrity is shown early in the film when he's playing a card game based on Hyskore at his school, and pulls out a winning card from his pants pocket instead of from the deck or his hand of cards.

 Spy Kids: Armageddon / int_b3b162c8
comment
Honesty Is the Best Policy: Patty completely believes in this, with her reaction to learning about her parents' jobs as spies being to call them Hypocrites for teaching her to be honest but then lying about their lives. In the climax, this integrity convinces The King's most powerful Hyskore enemy, the Heck Knight, to stand down instead of fight her.

Lovable Rogue: Contrasting his sister that believes Honesty Is the Best Policy, Tony has a habit of using tricks to get what he wants, from cheating at a card game at his school to accidentally instigating the film's main plot by stealing his father's keys and playing Hyskore when his parents had grounded him, letting The King steal the Armageddon code through the connection. In the film's climax, he's genuinely concerned that he lacks the power to overcome the villain without any tricks prepared.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Rey 'The King' Kingston is a video game developer who initially uses The Armageddon virus to lock all of the world's electronic devices, including those that shouldn't have internet access, until its users can clear segments of his game Hyskore. He claims to his minions that this is part of a plan to force people to learn how to be better through Game Theory.
