** Assigning Kurt, the most sex-crazed of the three, to stalk and kill [[DepravedDentist Julia]] predictably results in him sleeping with her, making him an automatic suspect in her potential murder later on.

* TheTeam: Of a VitriolicBestBuds variety, but since the guys usually do discuss options, make plans, tackle their problems and obstacles, and work together overall, they count as this, though there is no single [[TheLeader Leader]] / [[TheLancer Lancer]]. Instead, all three are TheSmartGuy in different ways, and have their own extra roles:
** Nick is the StraightMan and TheComicallySerious, and acts as TheSmartGuy in an OnlySaneMan type of way.
** Dale is TheHeart, and is TheSmartGuy in a GenreSavvy type of way (since he what knows the police are likely to look for, and has the most knowledge of the criminal justice system due to watching ''Series/LawAndOrder'').
** Kurt is TheCharmer and the BoisterousWeakling of the team, and acts as TheSmartGuy in terms of coming up with the plans.
** Motherfucker Jones is the [[SixthRanger Fourth Ranger]], and also the GeniusBruiser.
** In the second movie, Rex is the TagalongKid / [[spoiler:SixthRangerTraitor]].

Added DiffLines:

* TemptingFate: Kurt opens the movie by describing how much he loves working for Jack, going as far as to say that if you don't love your job, you have only yourself to blame. He has barely finished his monolog before Jack keels over, leaving his idiot son Bobby in charge and setting Kurt on the miserable path to join Dale and Nick in their triple murder plot.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Film/OfficeSpace''. Both movies feature three men getting revenge on their bosses (embezzlement in ''Office Space'', murder in this) and had Creator/JenniferAniston in the cast. Also half is kind of a spiritual sequel to the other Kevin Spacey evil boss movie ''Film/SwimmingWithSharks''; though it's not as dark and mean as Sharks, it does also feature an employee wanting to get revenge on their boss, though Guy actually almost goes through with killing his boss.
