"Barnes: Semicolon; Parenthesis... Smiley face."
 * Appendage Assimilation: Sid can regrow blown off appendages with glass. It doesn't appear to be that pleasant for him.
 * Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Sid 6.7 is created from the personalities of 183 criminals. And an orchestra director.
 * Ax Crazy: Sid has 183 criminals in his mind, so that's the result.
 * Beard of Sorrow: Barnes has a beard and dreadlocks as a prisoner. He shaves them when he is reinstated to hunt Sid.
 * Bottomless Magazines: Barnes manages to take 30+ shots at Sid in the night club without reloading his standard-issue service pistol once.
 * Boxed Crook: Parker. He gets an Explosive Leash implanted for his trouble.
 * Condemned Contestant: Convicts are used to test the new (and inadvertently deadly) VR police training system. Barnes is an ex-cop who in a break from the norm is actually guilty of the crime he was imprisoned for.
 * Not really an aversion, though. He's in prison for Barnes doesn't seem to care one way or the other, spending most of his time in solitary in an Angst Coma, covering it in chalk drawings ... except when the guards stuff him in general population so they can enjoy Gladiator Games.
 * Emoticon: Barnes locates Sid in the training program through the clue left on the side of one building.

"Sid 6.7: All you have to do, sweet viewers, is ask! So, what do you want? Strangulation? Mutilation? Cannibalism? Gunshots? Stabbings? I'll slice, I'll dice, I'll julienne! How about hanging... by the testicles?"
 * Everything Is Online: How Sid seems to know so much about Parker, Madison, etc.
 * Forgotten Fallen Friend:
 * A God Am I: When Sid 6.7 realizes he is back in VR, he screams "YOU'RE IN MY WORLD NOW!!!" and twists the building around in an attempt to kill Barnes.
 * Inside a Computer System: Where the movie starts.
 * Kiss Me I Am Virtual: Sheila 3.2, Virtual reality sex doll, Sole function is to deduce your psychosexual needs, and fulfill them. Lindenmyer explains to Clyde: "Sheila 3.2 is collecting information from 136 aspects of your physiology. Your heart rate, pupil dilation, vocal intonation, syntax..." Lindenmeyer says she's also very skilled at chess.
 * Note that Lindenmeyer says she's become skilled at chess under his tutelage right after explaining the bit about "deducing your psychosexual needs", implying that chess is about the closest thing she could come to having a sexual relationship with him.
 * Large Ham: Russell Crowe had so much fuuuun with this movie. Given that his character is basically the robot Joker, it was probably the right way to play it.
 * Loves the Sound of Screaming: Sid 6.7 uses a roomful of hostages at a dance club as a source of a variety of screams, which he then remixes with the club's equipment for his enjoyment.
 * Magic Countdown: Double subverted with the last bomb...which countdowns normally, until Barnes tries anything...at which point it speeds up...desperate, Barnes uses wiring in his prosthetic arm to try and foul it up...which only makes it countdown faster...and then glitch up, "deactivating" the bomb.
 * Mix-and-Match Man: Sid 6.7 is created from the personalities of 183 criminals. And an orchestra director.
 * Murder.Com: Sid takes over a TV studio and announces "Death TV", where the viewers get to vote by telephone on which member(s) of the studio audience he kills and how he does it.

"Sid 6.7: I've been thinking, Parker. We have so much in common psychologically. Wouldn't you agree, Dr Carter? We have such a history together. We'd make a great team. A dynamic duo. Who else touches the world with synthetic hands? Who else has been locked out of the real world and is now just learning to free? Who else do you know that's a multiple murderer... just like you?"
 * Nanomachines: What Sid is made up of in the real world.
 * Neck Snap: When one guy in the TV shop insists on watching the fighting tournament, Sid 6.7 twists his neck around.
 * Not So Different: Sid does a version of this speech over the radio to Barnes and Dr. Carter while being chased.

"Sid 6.7: What I am is not my fault. It's not even my choice. I came to be because of what YOU are. Face it folks, to kill is in your nature!"
 * He also tries to do a version of this speech to the entire human race.

"Sid 6.7: Killing for real... It was a real rush."
 * He kind of has a point - nothing about him is programmed, everything is copied from human behavior, albeit that of psychotic criminals.
 * Number of the Beast: Sid 6.7's version number is supposedly an oblique reference to 666. It's 6.66 rounded to one decimal place.
 * Positive Discrimination: Parker seems to be the only black man in prison in the future. (And it was basically a bum rap.) The rest of the prison system is inhabited by white guys... who, naturally, are also all Neo-Nazis.
 * Robot Girl: Clyde's desire to turn Shelia 3.2 into this results in Sid getting an android body.
 * Shapeshifter Guilt Trip: Sid is able to briefly shift his face and voice to look like Matthew Grimes, the terrorist who killed Parker Barnes' family. Sid explains that seeing Barnes bring Grimes, out of all 183 criminals, "oozing to the surface"
 * Shout-Out: At one point, Sid says to someone, "love the suit."
 * Silicon-Based Life: Sid's body. He uses glass to regenerate himself.
 * Too Dumb to Live: Lindenmeyer, the creator of Sid 6.7, fools someone into introducing him into the real world. Guess who kills the sucker?
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Glass for Sid 6.7, which he uses to regenerate lost body parts. Goes to ridiculous extremes when he starts eating shards of broken windshield like Halloween candy.
 * Your Mind Makes It Real: Not a straight example - the system is designed to train cops in combat situations, similar to the US Army's Real Life Force XXI program. The problem is that different people worked on different parts of the system - and didn't understand how Lindenmeyer's maniacal AI could abuse it. The Dev Team Thought of ALMOST Everything - they programmed in non-lethal simulations of being shot, bludgeoned and even bitten - but when Sid decided to try electrocuting someone, the poor chump's brain overloaded.
