* {{Jerkass}}: There are few enough nice people in the movie as is, but Lincoln's money man and apparent [[TheDragon dragon]] Hyde seems to derive special pleasure from acting like a smug, condescending asshole.



* TooDumbToLive: on his knees, with Cain pointing the shotgun at the back of his head, [[spoiler: Hyde]] proceeds to first insult Cain and then mock people whose lives Lincoln's scheme ruined as "losers." No points for guessing [[BoomHeadshot what happens next]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Inspector O'Hara, in stark contrast to [[DirtyCop Evans]]; in fact, he's the reason Evans was kicked off the force during Cain's stay in prison, and he wants to bring down Lincoln Burgess as much as Cain does.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Evans might not be the spectacular martial artist that Cain is, but when he said he was good with his fists he wasn't kidding. He's probably Cain's toughest one-on-one fight in the whole film.

* UncertainDoom: the last we see of {{spoiler: Cain]], he's slumped against a trashcan outside of ''Horse and Jockey'', apparently too weakened by all the injuries he'd sustained to do anything but laugh at [[spoiler: his plan finally coming to frutition]]. His prospects don't exactly look too promising.
