Line 36:
* [[Dueling Stars Movie]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]] - Even for an indiscriminately murderous villain, Castor does have a semblance of honor: He beats up Jamie's boyfriend for trying to rape her, and teaches her to defend herself against future potential rapists with a [[Chekhov's Gun|butterfly knife]]. He genuinely loves his eccentric [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones|idiot-savant brother]], and refused to kill him after Pollux betrayed their location by personally buying their plane ticket, as most terrorists would have. Most notably, he showed genuine horror at accidentally murdering Archer's son rather than Archer as intended, and could barely contain his remorse before the weeping mother when forced to visit the boy's grave as Archer.
** His "genuine horror" was more of a shocked look, and was more likely due to the fact that he could see that Sean ''wasn't'' dead as opposed to seeing that the boy was; after all, he shot Sean when he knew the man was embracing his son, it's entirely likely that Michael's death wasn't unintended at all. As for the show at the grave, he was probably more simply uncomfortable, as well as putting on an act for Sean's wife and daughter. And while he loves his brother, well, his brother is as much of a murderous psychopath as he is, so that's not really much of a note in his favor; he does try to kill essentially everyone ''else'' that was close to him in the raid on his old hideout.
* [[Every Car Is a Pinto]]: It's a [[John Woo]] film, what do you expect? If a boat crashed and DIDN'T turn into a ball of flames you'd be asking for your money back.
* [[Evil Is Petty]]: At the end of the final battle, Castor realizes he's screwed, since Archer has him pinned to a wall with a speargun aimed at his bolt. He musters just enough strength to grab the bolt and tries to mutilate Archer's stolen face with a piece of shrapnel in one last act of hateful petty spite.
