Line 11:
 
== Second loop ==
The film then returns to Lola leaving her apartment. This time, a boy trips Lola, causing her to fall down the stairs and slowing her down. Because of her limp, she arrives at the bank slightly later than before, so her father's mistress has had time to admit the child is not in fact his. Lola takes a gun from a security guard and robs the bank (in the first scenario she learndlearned how to take the safety off a gun, now she knows how to do this). She escapes from the bank after being mistaken for a hostage. She attempts to get a ride from an ambulance, but the driver refuses and, distracted, [[Sheet of Glass|runs into a pane of glass that workers were carrying across the street]]. She manages to meet with Manni before the robbery, but the ambulance she tried to hitch a ride on earlier runs Manni over as he crosses the street.
 
 
Line 39:
* [[Groundhog Day Loop]]: The film's events loop over and over until Lola stops getting the [[Bad Ending|Bad Endings]].
* [[Happy Marriage Charade]]: Lola's 'parents', who are both cheating on each other.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Though they're portrayed as the heroes of the piece, Lola and Manni need the money in the first place as they are both accomplices in what is probably a deal shipping (possibly stolen) Mercedes Benzes to Africa in exchange for illegal blood diamonds (often mined with slave labor). However, in the third loop, they get away scot-free (and with 100,000 Deutchmarks!).
** When Lola's father swerves into the wrong lane to avoid Manni and the homeless man running across the road, he crashes into a white BMW, which is then hit from behind by the moped thief who stole Lola's scooter (setting the whole plot in motion). However, while Lola's father and Mr. Meyers are knocked unconscious and the moped driver seems to be dead, the only people unharmed are the occupants of the BMW... Manni's crime boss and his underlings.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: The "good" ending is the only one in which Lola doesn't try armed robbery.
** But Manni gave the homeless man his gun in exchange for the money, and he takes it with a crazed and desperate look in his eyes...
Line 54:
* [[The Power of Love]]: A possible explanation behind the loops (and certainly the reason for Lola's desperate attempts to get the money).
* [[Recycled in Space]]: The American independent film ''[[And Then Came Lola]]'' is ''Run Lola Run'' {{smallcaps|with lesbians}}!
* [[Redheaded Hero]] / [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Lola.
* [[Rule of Three]]
* [[Sexless Marriage]]: Lola's 'parents'.
