* {{Cool Gun|s}}: The Godkiller. Need we say more?
** Since Milton is saving the Godkiller and its limited ammunition for Jonah King, he keeps a 1911 handy for King's army of mooks.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Remarkably, of all people, the Devil isn't really depicted as evil at all. The Accountant describes him as a well-educated guy who made one big mistake and, as punishment, has to spend eternity as the warden of the universe's worst prison. And as if that weren't bad enough, he has cults and madmen committing wanton acts of murder and claiming that ''he'' made them do it. He also ''despises'' those who murder children, especially when they claim to do it in his name. The Accountant himself, upon learning what the cult has planned for Milton's grandchild, lets Milton complete his mission before making him come back.]]

** The recoil is inconsistent the times it is used. The Accountant says it has 'quite the kick' and when Piper fires it it knocks her down and knocks her unconscious and when Milton fires it the second time while laying on his back it sends him sliding across the ground but the first time he fires it one-handed it doesn't seem to have any recoil at all.

* WeaponOfChoice: Milton only has three rounds for the Godkiller, and gets only limited (albeit ''awesome'') use out of his shotgun. He wins most fights with his 1911. Jonah King carries a replica Single-Action Army revolver, but he's better at [[ArtisticLicenseGunSafety twirling it like an idiot]] than actually hitting anything with it.

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Milton is shown to have been dead since at least TheNineties and it shows, given how he seems a bit bewildered at how the world's changed. Not that it stops him from doing what he has to do.

* MsFanservice: Piper, played by gorgeous Creator/AmberHeard.

''Drive Angry'' is a 2011 3D action movie from the same people behind ''Film/MyBloodyValentine3D''. Creator/NicolasCage plays Milton, a man [[EscapedFromHell who has broken out of Hell]] to prevent the cult that murdered his daughter from sacrificing her kidnapped child to {{Satan}}. He is being pursued by the Accountant (Creator/WilliamFichtner), a supernatural operative of Satan who has been sent to bring Milton back to Hell. Along the way, Milton picks up a waitress named Piper (Creator/AmberHeard) in his quest to save his granddaughter.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The Gun is called the Godkiller. It kills gods.

* HollywoodSatanism: Jonah and his cult are this. Interestingly, the actual minion of the devil, who is there to take Milton back to hell, is actually a pretty swell guy, and states that the Devil doesn't really approve of Jonah and his cult.

->'''Cultist:''' It symbolizes our pact with Lord Satan!
->'''Accountant:''' [sarcastic] Oh, you have a pact? Funny, he’s never mentioned it.

* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Played straight and surprisingly {{Justified}} with the God-Killer. In the words of The Accountant, it has "quite the kick", and Piper is shown being thrown back by the recoil when she uses it to kill Jonah King's right-hand man, who is sent flying roughly the same distance. Milton is also pushed across the ground several yards when he kills Jonah, who gets launched into the air. Zig-zagged when he first fires the God-Killer at The Accountant, as it's from inside a car, but Milton has been shown to be supernaturally tough.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Amber Heard does a consistent job on her Texan accent until the end; she was unable to cry and keep her twang at the same time.

* DeadpanSnarker: The Accountant ''really'' enjoys what he does. When he meets a cultist who had his leg blown out by a gun:

* BadassGrandpa: Milton.

* WeaponForIntimidation: The Godkiller. [[spoiler:Milton doesn't plan to shoot the Accountant with it. He only needs the otherwise-invincible Accountant to be threatened by the weapon, allowing him to do his work unimpeded. It's possible he did mean to kill Johan King with it specifically, but it was mostly luck that things ended that way.]]

* DirtyCoward: Some, while dying, are complete and utter cowards who pathetically beg for the lives.

* [[OffWithHisHead Off With Her Head]]: Jonah King killed Milton's daughter this way. Specifically, he cut off her head after she cut off his...[[GroinAttack smaller head.]]

--> '''Jonah King:''' I've changed my mind about you, Piper; you are too willful to be taught. I am going to kill you, and then I'm going to defile your corpse.
--> '''Piper:''' Yeah? Well, between now and then... (''cracks neck'') ...[[PreAsskickingOneLiner I'mma fuck you up]].
* [[SirSwearsALot Sir/Miss Swears-A-Lot]]: The Accountant and Piper, respectively, although the former mainly relies on Cluster-F-Bombs while the latter is happy to throw in a nice assortment of other vulgarities as well.
