* [[Anti -Hero]]: Nick, [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type IV or V]]. He is xenophobic, violent, semi-alcoholic {{spoiler|and he has also illegaly stolen some drug money}} but we see him trying to do the right thing throughout the film and he has his better side too.

* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. At the end of the final fight Nick is clearly considering doing this to Sato, and Sato's look seems to indicate that he expects Nick to do so. However, the scene cut shows Nick bringing Sato into the police precinct.}}
