A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_14e41a53 | comment |
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: In the opening, the sole person McCall overlooked during his opening massacre at the winery happened to be his target's grandson. Said grandson proceeds to shoot McCall In the Back while he's making his exit. | |

The Equalizer 3 / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The setup for the film (Robert infiltrating a winery, and his elimination of the villain in order to stop a cyber-crime) is finally answered at the end, when the random bag McCall was shown walking out with is the pension of an American retiree, who had it stolen in the incident, and has it returned to him by Emma. | |

Mythology Gag | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The first thing McCall orders at the cafe is a cup of tea. He is given a different drink and told that "tea is for old women and Englishmen." In the 1980s show the titular role of Robert McCall was played by British actor Edward Woodward. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: Marco barely lasts even a minute in a fight against McCall before McCall slits his throat. McCall's raid on Vincent's mansion, where he singlehandedly slaughters all of the henchmen with very little effort, before knocking Vincent out and overdosing him with his own drug. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: It doesn't matter how much of a Badass you are, even in the Equalizer universe. Getting shot In the Back hurts. A lot. The pain is so great that when it happens to McCall, he is Driven to Suicide — except he has no bullets left. The resulting pain leads him to pass out while fleeing the winery, and he likely would have bled out were it not for the arrival of Gio, who rescues him and brings him to Altamonte. | |

Badass in Distress | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_4631e81f | comment |
Badass in Distress: The film's setup is motivated by McCall being shot In the Back while leaving the site of a villain who he'd managed to take out. McCall passes out from the pain and is rescued by a local policeman, who lets him recover at his home in Altamonte. | |

Pretty Little Headshots | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_4ab9c868 | comment |
Pretty Little Headshots: Downplayed in most cases. The audience gets a few looks at the carnage left in Mc Call’s wake in the intro, and while the mooks subjected to headshots have pretty ugly wounds, they are still just a little too small. Weirdly played straight when Mc Call shoots the Starter Villain in the head… with a 12-gauge shotgun. From point-blank range. He gets a gruesome wound on his cheek and blood spatter on the wine barrels behind him when by all rights it should have taken his head clean off. | |

Mook Horror Show | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_6860368a | comment |
Mook Horror Show: McCall's assault on Vincent's mansion plays out like a home invasion or a horror/slasher film, as he makes his way through the darkened building to pick off all the Mooks one by one, and after force-feeding Vincent an overdose of his own drugs, ends the assault by slowly following after him as he stumbles down the street in terror before finally dying. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: Both of the main posters make use of the Eiffel Tower Effect by clearly showcasing Roman landmarks (with conspicuously large Italian flags edited in to really drive the point home). In the film itself Rome only appears briefly, and McCall himself never makes his way further north than Naples. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Marco thought it would be a good idea to come after McCall and the neighborhood after McCall pressed on his median nerve and nearly made him defecate himself in public. Moments before Marco could retaliate, however, McCall rams the van into one of the bodyguards before killing Marco. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
The Equalizer 3 / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The boy who shoots McCall in the back and is the sole survivor of the massacre at the Sicilian vineyard is last seen running away from the scene. There is no clue whatsoever about what happened to him, and the dialogue when the vineyard is being searched by the Italian police and the CIA shows they are unaware of his existence (as he would’ve been able to give them a description of McCall). | |

Karmic Death: One of the first things Vincent's men does is to hang an old man after throwing him out a window to intimidate the neighborhood into giving up their homes so Vincent could build his resorts and casinos. Later, during the final showdown, McCall hangs one of the henchmen before throwing his corpse through Vincent's stained glass window as a wake-up call. | |
