Disappeared Dad: Ethan has been only barely involved in his daughter's life for many years as a result of his work in the CIA. He deeply regrets this, attempting to restore their relationship when the film begins, succeeding in this by the end.

comment
Hidden Depths: In-universe, played for laughs. Trying to find Zooey after discovering she snuck out to party, Ethan finds an invitation to "Spider", so he figures his best bet to figure out what that means is asking Mitat's daughters. Mitat’s wife claims that they wouldn't know since they're good girls, only for them to hesitantly answer that it's the La Soiree House, much to their mother's shock.

comment
Depraved Bisexual: Vivi acts flirtatious with Ethan, while also watching a highly homoerotic performance by two scantily dressed women with obvious interest. She's the most ruthless person on the good side, including finishing off the Wolf when he's helpless after Ethan won't. Despite this, she still comes through with more cancer medicine at the end that Ethan needs, as it seems she likes him.

Skewed Priorities: Ethan is reminded of Zooey's birthday and tries to leave a message for her after the mission while still in the vicinity of the enemy. The bad guys figure out that the CIA is watching them and attacks them while he's midcall.

Workaholic: Ethan has spent past several years working as an assassin for the CIA, leaving his family in the process. He confesses to Zooey that it took him so long to chalk up the courage to come back because the longer he stayed away, the more he felt guilty about finally coming back.

Off with His Head!
 3 Days to Kill / int_7e6c0522
comment
Off with His Head!: The Albino's preferred method of dispatching his enemies is to have their heads done in by a moving mechanism. He beats up Yasmin and drags her to an elevator shaft to have her head run down by a lowering elevator, and drags an incapacitated Ethan to the edge of a metro platform to have his head run down by the incoming train.

comment
Evil Albino: The Albino is The Dragon of the Wolf, a ruthless arms-trafficker aiding terrorists. He has no physically distinguishing features but his albinism and, it appears, alopacia universalis (being entirely hairless), which make him look quite creepy. He likes to murder people by beheading too.

Commonality Connection: Ethan bonds with Mitat, who's the Wolf's driver, after seeing the photo he has of his twin daughters. As a father himself of a teenage daughter who he's struggling to connect with, Ethan asks his advice. Mitat is at first incredulous, then gives him actual good advice and Ethan saves his life later so he can get home to be there with his family again.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
 3 Days to Kill / int_bce16d24
comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: When Ethan gets incapacitated by his illness while chasing the Wolf and Albino, Albino decides to do his signature move of having Ethan's head done in by a speeding object (an incoming metro train) while the Wolf yells at him to just kill him. The Wolf is proven right when Ethan manages to muster up enough strength to move and throw the Albino into the train's way.

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Ethan left his family because Tina didn't want him putting her and Zooey in potential danger because of his job. Of course, he can't tell Zooey that because of the classified nature of his job and instead keeps it vague as him being an "international salesman".

Red Herring: The Wolf's partner turns out to be Hugh's father, and as the Wolf's men prepare to do a shootout on Ethan at the dance, Hugh leads Zooey away into a private room, which doesn't go unnoticed by Ethan. However, nothing comes out of it other than the two making out, so he's apparently unaware of his dad's association with a criminal mastermind.
