* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: the Somali in the film is legitimate, hilarious Somali.
* [[Classically-Trained Extra]]: Not in the usual sense. General Garza's two bodyguards, who look mind-boggingly similar to one another? Twin [[Useful Notes/Mixed Martial Arts|MMA]] fighters Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, who currently compete in the UFC alongside [[Randy Couture]]. Sadly, they're not seen in any hand-to-hand combat.
* [[Dueling Movies]]: Was released around the same time as the [[The Movie|film]] versions of the ''[[The a A-Team (Filmfilm)|The a Team]]'', ''[[The Losers]]'', and ''[[RedRED (Filmfilm)|Red]]'', as all four are very similar on the surface. ''[[Machete]]'' also covers similar ground.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Cordelia]] [[Charisma Carpenter|Chase]] is Lee's girlfriend.
** [[Dexter]]'s pal Angel Batista is General Garza.
** B Movie action fans (and there were probably a few in the audience) will recognize Gary Daniels as The Brit. Some may even recognize him as Kenshiro from the live action adaptation of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.
** Looks like [[The Dark Knight|Sal Maroni]] was kicked out of Gotham City and set up shop in a [[Banana Republic]].
** Oh, for crying out loud. This trope is the entire reason this movie exists!
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: If you think the original version was good in the [[All-Star Cast]] department, the Japanese dubbed version is the reunion of many of the biggest [[Hot-Blooded]] Badasses in anime history:
** Ross [[Isao Sasaki|is]] [[Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (Anime)|Joe The Condor]]
** Ying Yang [[Shuichi Ikeda|is]] [[Rurouni Kenshin|Hiko Seijuro]] and [[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Char Aznable]]
** Jensen [[Akio Ohtsuka|is]] [[Metal Gear Solid|Solid Snake]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|Anavele Gato]] and [[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Seth]]
** Lee [[Kazuhiro Yamaji|is]] [[Advent Children|Cid Highwind]] and [[Kamen Rider Blade|Kei Karasuma]]
** General Garza [[Masaru Ikeda|is]] [[Sakura Wars|Ikki Yoneda]]
** Tool [[Yoshito Yasuhara|is]] [[Rurouni Kenshin|Shinomori Aoshi]]
** Lacy [[Atsuko Tanaka|is]] [[Ghost in Thethe Shell|Motoko Kusanagi]] and [[QueensQueen's Blade|Claudette]]
** Monroe [[Hochu Otsuka|is]] [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (Anime)|Yazan Gable]] and [[Naruto|Jiraiya]]
** Paine [[Taiten Kusunoki|is]] [[Naruto|Ibiki Morino]]
** Mr. Church [[Hidetoshi Nakamura|is]] [[The King of Fighters|the other Seth]] (and also counts as [[Hilarious in Hindsight]])
Line 24:
* [[Shout-Out]]: The whole church scene.
** "What've we got? [[Two and A Half Men|Four and a half men?]]"
** Christmas acquiring a ruby from Burma. [[The Dark Knight Saga|Alfred]] relates a similar tale, and closer to home Burma was the setting of the most recent Rambo film, starring...you know.
* [[Similarly Named Works]]: Not to be confused with a 1989 Vietnam movie with the same name.
* [[Throw It In]]: Bruce Willis ad-libbed his jab at both Arnold and Sylvester about going down on each other; Stallone was initially disgusted, as revealed in commentary, but the line set the scene so well that it was kept.
Line 31:
** There are also rumors that Bruce Campbell had been approached.
