* [[Quick Draw]] - Part of [[The Dragon]]'s shtick in the film.
* [[Race Lift]] - To avoid offense in the current political climate, the Assassin is changed from a suave and sophisticated Arabic Hassassin with an addiction to sadism, killing, and rape into a European professional with some mercy and honor who is only in it for the money.
* [[Rare Guns]] - The Swiss Guard arms its snipers with $10,000-a-unit [

{{quote| {{spoiler|"The pope fathered a son."}}}}
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] - Pulled off by {{spoiler|the Camerlengo}} in the film and the book. In the latter at least it's successful enough to {{spoiler|get two people shot dead on the spot}}.
