The Replacement Killers


 * Action Girl: Meg. Possibly a Dark Action Girl, given her career choice.
 * Action Prologue: John's hit at the nightclub, followed by Zedkov's attempted drug bust of Wei's son.
 * Back-to-Back Badasses: Meg and John during the shootout at her office, sort of--they face opposite directions to take out each other's would-be shooter.
 * Badass Damsel: John's hostage holds her own against the bad guys.
 * Badass in A Nice Suit: John, at the beginning.
 * Badass Longcoat: Ryker, the big, German-looking replacement killer.
 * Best Served Cold: Wei wants to be sure  so Zedkov will understand Wei's pain.
 * Big Bad: Terence Wei.
 * Blood Brothers: Seemingly, Alan and John.
 * Briefcase Blaster: Ryker is equipped with this. (Since he and Collins carry out their assignment like proverbial bulls in a china shop, one wonders why he bothers disguising his weapon.)
 * Butt Monkey: Loco.
 * Car Fu: Meg uses this in the final battle, although it's more Van Fu.
 * Catch Phrase: Meg's "I didn't think so."
 * Cool Shades: John, occasionally, and a few of Wei's men.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted. John isn't evil--he's being forced to do Wei's bidding.
 * Gun Fu
 * Guns Akimbo: Of course.
 * Hitman With a Heart
 * Honor Before Reason
 * Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Where the replacement killers evidently learned their trade.
 * Informed Ability: See above entry. For professionals, the movie's title characters really suck at their job.
 * It's Personal: For everybody except Meg, who's just sort of dragged into the situation.
 * Although, before the final fight, she insists on coming along because she now cares what happens to John.
 * Leap and Fire
 * Marked Bullet: John's calling card. If he sets one on the table in front of you, kiss your ass goodbye.
 * Mexican Standoff: Between John and Wei.
 * One Last Job: What John's assignment  was supposed to be.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: John is blue, Meg is red.
 * Sacrificial Lamb: Wei's son winds up being this, kicking off the revenge plan.
 * Throw-Away Guns
 * Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Leads to John's inability to complete his assignment.
