Line 57:
** This could, in fact, be seen to be the entire theme of the movie. Shiwan ''constantly'' urges Lamont to become like him again, on the premise that they're the same. Lamont finally proves this isn't so by taking control of his violence rather than letting it control him, like Shiwan does.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Claymore almost killed The Shadow.
* [[Pet The Dog]]: As Ying Ko, the closest Lamont had to this trope was when Wu was held hostage, by a rival dealer. Said dealer, Li Peng boasts that even Ying Ko's hitmen aren't marksmen enough to shoot around him. Which Ying Ko agrees. He says the following line to Wu before ordering his men to [[Shoot the Hostage|shoot through him.]] Wu's response in thanks seems to be a mix of [[It Has Been an Honor|thanking him]] [[Face Death with Dignity|and preparing to face his death.]]
{{Quote|'''Ying Ko:''' Wu you're a wonderful friend. Like a father to me.
'''Wu:''' Thank you Ying Ko.}}
* [[Product Placement]]: "Brooks Brothers. 75th and Madison."
* [[Psychic-Assisted Suicide]]: Shiwan uses his powers to off a museum guard who saw him in Genghis's coffin, a cab driver who took him to his lair, and a marine who insulted his fashion sense. The Shadow later uses his powers to {{spoiler|make Farley Claymore jump through a third-story window.}}
