* OnceMoreWithClarity: There are several short flashbacks throughout the film, showing how Gibson met his love interest and briefly retired from his life as a mercenary who fights bandits and pirates. Each one of these flashbacks, however, ends on an ominous note, hinting at something awful Fender did Gibson that caused him to go after Fender in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. When Gibson is in the middle of his DarkestHour, the prior flashbacks get played again, all together this time to form a narrative instead of disjointed hints and implications, with some new scenes added on and we finally get to see exactly what Fender did.

* WorfHadTheFlu: At the end of the film's second act, Gibson and Fender fight and Fender beats Gibson completely senseless while Gibson can barely fight back. This came, however, shortly after Gibson has been shot, chased by Fender's pirate band until exhausted, and finally overwhelmed and pummeled by a whole group of them. (And he took down multiple pirates along the way at every step). Before the fight even began Fender has to instruct his followers to "Stand him up." because Gibson was barely capable of getting up on his own after all that. When they face in the climax Gibson is not hurt or tired from other fights (despite the fact that [[HollywoodHealing he should still be recovering from his wounds]]), so the fight goes differently. Although Gibson does still need UnstoppableRage and a HeroicSecondWind to overcome Fender.

The film starts AfterTheEnd, in a world that has been shattered by war, the collapse of civilization, and just for fun, a plague ravaging the survivors. The titular cyborg, Pearl, has been sent from Atlanta to [[BigApplesauce New York City]] to retrieve information for a group of scientists and doctors looking to both cure the plague and start restoring society. Unfortunately, Fender learns of the mission and moves to intercept Pearl and her bodyguard. The bodyguard is killed, letting Pearl escape just long enough to encounter Gibson for the first time. Gibson is a "slinger", a mercenary who normally fights bandits like Fender's gang only for the money, but when Pearl encounters him Gibson is already hunting Fender for personal reasons.
Gibson and Pearl get separated by a couple of Fender's mooks, and Fender offers to escort Pearl back to Atlanta, where he plans to steal the cure for the plague and kill the holdouts. Pearl agrees to travel together, hoping that the resources of her superiors will enable them to defeat Fender's group when they arrive, and in the meantime Gibson tracks Fender for revenge and is joined by Nady, a survivor of one of Fender's raids who has lost many loved ones to the plague, and whose primary goal is to help Pearl get the cure to the scientists.
