* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: The SBX-1, or Sea-based X-Band Radar, in real life has no weapons systems other than possibly small arms such as machine guns for security, as well as whatever the security teams have lying around.It's also primarily crewed by civilian mariners and technicians not the military.

* AirVentInfiltration: After they've sealed off the control room, Collins asks Shah if there is any other way in. Shah says the air conditioning system is isolated (explaining why they haven't been gassed with the others) and the cable ducts are too small. Then a merc bursts in through the escape hatch, having made his way along the underside of the rig to get to it. Beaver and Collins both use the same route later in the movie (the latter with one arm out of action).

* DaddyIssues: Kessler despises his father who inherited his wealth and got a diplomatic position he wasn't suitable for thanks to his political contributions. Collins lampshades the trope right before Kessler uses [[DaddysGirl her own daddy issues]] against her.



* {{Handwave}}: With Collins and Shah trapped in the control room, the question is raised as to why the mercenaries don't just destroy the radar and missile installations. Collins says that they are as well protected as the control room (unlikely as the radome at least has to be permeable to radio waves).

Added DiffLines:

* PassThePopcorn: On hearing that a nuke is heading towards Los Angeles, staff and customers at the electrical store where Creator/ChrisHemsworth's character works rush out the door. He just enjoys the action on the widescreen TV's he's selling, and in TheStinger is shown chilling out on a massage bed after all the action is over.


Added DiffLines:

* RogueSoldier: Alexander Kessel is a former US intelligence officer who recruits other disillusioned US military soldiers to carry out his scheme.

* TankTopTomboy: Collins has to remove her uniform jacket early in the movie as she gets acid splattered on it during her fight with a GiantMook (he's carrying the acid to destroy equipment). She's wearing a white undershirt that she wears for the rest of the movie. As well as being symbolic of an ActionGirl, it also contrasts with the BareYourMidriff photograph that keeps being brought up to slut-shame her.
