Badass Adorable: Johnny is probably one of the most adorable and lovable characters David Chiang has played (and that's saying a lot), being a nightclub singer with a snarky, jazzy personality and a polite demenour, but he's also a skilled fighter and a devil with a gun when taking names.

Badass in a Nice Suit: Johnny appears in a slick black-and-white suit in every scene he's in. While the moments where he's a nightclub singer might justify this, however there's no reason why he's wearing this same outfit in the final shootout, other than fulfilling this trope.

Beware the Nice Ones: Johnny may be a Nice Guy and a friendly nightclub singer who is chill with every character he meets, but he's secretly a mob assassin and killing machine.
