Line 28:

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: What happens to {{spoiler|Nash}}. Subverted but badly done ([[Special Effect Failure|the body BOUNCES after being cut in half]]) in the remake. Also, the fate of the family in the station wagon.

* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: {{spoiler|Nash}} in the original, {{spoiler|Jim}} in the remake.

* [[I Cannot Self Terminate]]: Ryder repeatedly gives Jim the opportunity to kill him, goading him to do so. {{spoiler|Possibly a subversion, as it's unclear if Ryder truly wants to end his own rampage, or if he wants to turn ''Jim'' into a killer who'll carry on after him.}}

* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: Ryder repeatedly gives Jim the opportunity to kill him, goading him to do so. {{spoiler|Possibly a subversion, as it's unclear if Ryder truly wants to end his own rampage, or if he wants to turn ''Jim'' into a killer who'll carry on after him.}}

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Ryder takes out several squad cars and a frickin' helicopter with no more than a handgun ''while driving''...all to the strains of [[Soundtrack Dissonance|Nine]] [[Nine Inch Nails (Music)|Inch Nails]] (in the remake). See also the [[Car Fu]] entry above.

* [[Love Interest]]: Nash in the original, Jim in the remake.
