Dangerously Close Shave: Rico murders Tony Vetto while he's getting a shave, stepping up to the barber (who has been coerced into helping the killers) and taking the razor from him after he's sharpened it, then approaching Tony (whose back is to them) as the film cuts to the next scene.

Bad Boss: Mendoza orders the murders of almost every person who works for him (although a few survive) for He Knows Too Much or You Have Failed Me reasons. Rico, The Dragon, kills his subordinate Vince for showing disgust at the amount of blood in a Dangerously Close Shave murder. He also helps Mendoza kill most of their subordinates to divert the police investigation. Then, when Rico suspects Mendoza is going to kill him, he uses his his last three loyal subordinates as The Bait while hiding nearby to see if they'll be killed.
