* [[Action Girl]]: Sever
* [[Backwards
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Gant}}
* [[Blatant Lies]]: The movie is titled ''Ecks '''vs.''' Sever'', but they never truly face each other as "enemies". They even end up fighting on the same side by the end.
Line 15 ⟶ 17:
* [[Car Cushion]]
* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: The movie makes a valiant attempt to run on this trope.
* [[Dual
* [[Excuse Plot]]
* [[Gambit Pileup]]
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Ecks eventually finds out that he has a son -- Michael.}}
* [[Mama Bear]]: Sever wants revenge on Gant because he killed her husband and daughter.
* [[Mandatory Unretirement]]: Ecks
* [[
* [[Plot Hole]]: Plenty of these exist in this film.
* [[Rule of Cool]]
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: The final act of the film, set at a railyard, would give [[Michael Bay]] a run for his money.
* [[Television Geography]] ([[Averted Trope]]){{context}}
* [[Versus Title]]
* [[What Measure Is a Mook?]]: Sever guns down dozens of DIA agents and security guards over the course of the film, and not only does no one seem to ''care'', but in the end, someone says of her, "''she's a killer''" -- which prompts Ecks to reply, "''she's a mother''".
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: The film's credits list the director's name as "Kaos".
