Line 25:
So there you have it, 'till the fifth installment.
----
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: All bosses (even monsters with supposedly "unknown" weaknesses) have these. Usually some form of note would appear to highlight the weakness, although the exact nature of the clue varies from game to game: the first two HOTD games make use of research notes, while HOTD 4 has a PDA scan. HOTD 3 doesn't even come up with an excuse for what's giving the heroes a hint.
** One of the best examples: Hierophant, a hideous frog thing whose chest bursts open every time it takes a breath for an easy potshot at its heart. It's one of the easiest boss battles in the series.
Line 129:
* [[Hockey Mask and Chainsaw]]: Strength, of [[HOTD 2]].
* [[Hostage Spirit Link]]: In ''1'' and ''2'', shooting a civilian takes off one life. ''Overkill'' doesn't deduct health, but points. Averted in ''III'', where shooting your partner in a rescue scene does nothing. ''4'' has no one for you to rescue.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: The typical appearance for the end bosses. Also The Star.
* [[In the Blood]]: In ''House Of The Dead 3'', Daniel struggles with this, but gets over it after [[It Makes Sense in Context|blowing up the zombie-android resurrection of his father]].
Line 166:
** Nigel and Sebastian, by virtue of two people being conjoined together. Washington even yells for them to put all their arms up.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Every game has a few: one which is canon, a few which aren't, and one which is possibly canon but also [[Gainax Ending|extremely confusing]].
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: By far one of the most difficult [[Light Gun Game
** In the actual arcade stands, at least. The PC versions are easy with practice, since you can see where you're aiming and there are shot types in the first game (such as G's extremely powerful derringer).
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Isaac Washington is, for all intents and purposes, an [[Expy]] of [[Samuel L. Jackson]].
Line 221:
** ''Overkill'' itself is basically ''[[Planet Terror]]'' as a video game.
** And, well... at least they have '''acting'''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftc_Pbhb3IE Unlike] Goldman.
* [[Tarot Motifs]]: Every boss in games 1 through 4 is [[Theme Naming|named after a tarot card of the Major Arcana]]. As of the fourth game, only three Tarot cards have not had their names used: the Devil, the Moon, and the High Priestess. The bosses in ''OVERKILL'' don't follow this
* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Varla has a red, lipstick-kiss tattoo on her left breast.
* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Jasper, forced to work with Caesar when Varla, who raised him, is threatened, eventually declares that no one threatens his sister and injects himself with a serum.
