Line 14:
It's indeed three the hard way: three men, three cities, and a race to stop a genocidal attack before it's too late. Oh yeah, and get Jimmy's woman, Wendy, back from Feather.

* [[Angry White Man]]: Inverted in the case of Feather; he's unfailingly polite. Even though he's a white supremacist, when he talks to Wendy (who is black, and quite rightfully pissed off for being kidnapped by Feather), he never raises his voice or shows the slightest amount of anger or hatred, even though (in other scenes) he's delighted to learn they've developed a method of genocide which will kill millions of black people. Except {{spoiler|at the end when the three heroes have gotten to Feather's compound, he's scared and says to one of his mooks to "bring the black bitch" so he can use Wendy as a bargaining chip to escape with his life.}}
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Mister Keyes uses this before he beats up the crooked cops who tried to frame him.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]
** Alex Rocco plays a cop in Los Angeles. Close your eyes and he sounds exactly, by attitude, like his portrayal of Moe Greene in ''[[The Godfather]]''.
** The boy in the [[Make-Out Kids]] example, is played by Corbin Bernsen, who would later go on to play skirt chasing divorce lawyer Arnold Becker in [[
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: The mooks are typically using fully automatic machine guns or semi-automatic pistols at near point-blank range, and the mooks almost always miss.
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: The good guys' weapons are glorified cap pistols or just barely above BB rifles, kill instantly, and seldom miss.
* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: Three gorgeous chicks on motorcycles (see [[Fan Service]] above) show up to have some fun with one of Feather's [[Mooks]]. When Keyes asks Jagger if he's dated any of them or if these women might be worth dating, even Jagger admits to him, "they are strictly business; you do not want to know these ladies socially." The women's idea of "fun" so terrifies the mook that he starts talking. Only problem is they kind of scare him a little too much, and the women are disappointed that their fun ends early.
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[The Seventies]]: Leisure suits, huge afros, even bigger cars.
* [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]]: Keyes' first name really is Mister.

'''Keyes:''' My momma wanted me to get some respect. }}
* [[Time Bomb]]: Feather is going to pollute the water supply of three American cities with an ethnically selective poison. They have to stop him before it's too late.
