Line 20:
* [[The Cameo]]: Reggae singer Jimmy Cliff is performing in a Jamaican club performing the song "John Crow". [[Celebrity Paradox|Bizarrely]], the song was written for the movie, and actually includes the lyrics ''"Screwface you know that your time has come! [[Foreshadowing|You don't live right, you gonna die tonight!]]"''. Is Jimmy Cliff omnipotent??
* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: Hatcher has this with Screwface's mistress when he seeks out information on the drug lord's whereabouts.
{{quote| '''Mistress:''' Screwface have {{spoiler|two head and four eyes}}, and ''that'' is the secret to his magic.}}
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Implies that 1) all Jamaicans are Rastafarians, 2) Rastafarianism is interchangeable with Voodoo, and 3) "Jamaican Posse" is the name of one specific gang as opposed to a coalition of Mafia-like gangs.
** The first point is subverted in the last third of the film, when the good guys go to Jamaica. It turns out that Jamaican society is, in fact, quite diverse, and not everybody is a [[Dreadlock Rasta]].
Line 44:
* [[Sword Cane]]: Screwface employs one as his weapon of choice.
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: In one scene, Screwface is playing dominoes with some of his boys and is wearing what can only be described as a [[The Cosby Show|"Cosby sweater"]]. [[Villainous Breakdown|Then he gets word that]] [[Berserk Button|one of his major henchmen has been killed by Hatcher]]...
* [[Welcome to the Caribbean, Mon]]
* [[The Windy City]]: It's suburbs, at least.
