Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: The South Africans, who murder an innocent woman merely for associating with Riggs, and Wah Sing Ku, who murders a money counterfeiter's uncle to persuade him to continue his work.
** General
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Riggs, Riggs, Riggs.
** Also, Riggs.
Line 8:
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: Donner, Gibson, and Glover all consider the second one to be this.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Riggs mocks Rudd's racism and calls him "Aryan" in the second film. Cut to 2006, and Mel Gibson is in hot water for making several racist remarks during his arrest. Cut to 2010, and he's in even ''more'' hot water for making even ''more'' racist statements during an argument with his girlfriend.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: A character in the first film remarks that "guys in the 80's aren't tough". Nowadays, the 80's are known for [[Rated "M" for Manly]] action films with stars such as [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] and [[Sylvester Stallone]].
** Too bad [[Joe Pesci]] wasn't in the first film, since the [[Big Bad]]'s name just happens to be [[Home Alone
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Danny Glover has always been, and will always be, <s>[[Beam Me Up, Scotty|getting]]</s> too old for this shit.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: After the murder of {{spoiler|fairly likeable Rika}} and the reveal that {{spoiler|Vorstedt was also responsible for Riggs's wife's death}}, the second film arguably becomes too depressing to be enjoyable.
* [[Sequelitis]]: A not too drastic example, but most noticeable with part 4.
