* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite a knock-down dragout fight that destroys their home and includes multiple blows to the face and kicks to the torso, neither Smith sports a bruise when the neighbors and neighborhood security show up to inquire about the noise.



* BluffingTheAuthorities: John and Jane's all out brawl attracts the attention of their neighbors, who call the police; however, by the time the officers arrive their interaction has [[SlapSlapKiss evolved into a different kind of physical encounter]], and the cops aren't interested in looking too closely at the obviously happy couple. The destruction visible through their open door is explained away as renovations to the house.

* BrickJoke: The "Scale of 1-10, how is the sex?" question. It shows up in the opening to show how disconnected John and Jane are (they don't even understand the question) and at the end to show they're fully back on board ("Ask the sex question!").

They are greeted by the other half of the army of assassins and retreat back to the first floor. Both times we get a cheerful instrumental of "Girl from Ipanema".



* {{Fanservice}}: When you have two people who are consistently voted the two most attractive people in the world, it's inevitable. In the third quarter of the film. Jane is wearing a man's T-shirt that just ''barely'' functions as a miniskirt. John is in nothing but a tight V-neck and boxers.

%%* LetsDance

to:

%%* LetsDance* LetsDance: The film plays this three times.
** In the first act, when they meet in Bogota, they get a little dancing in to ''Mondo Bongo'' before hooking up and falling in love.
** In the second act, they do a sexy tango to disarm one another in full view of the public so neither can turn on the other.
** In the third act, they reprise their ''Mondo Bongo'' dance, only this time they're BackToBackBadasses (and sometimes Front to Front) while they take down an army of assassins.


Added DiffLines:

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The film zigzags this. In their professional lives, John follows the masculine business stereotype of being a lone wolf while Jane follows the feminine business stereotype of organizing a competent team to support her in the field. Initially, during the masquerade, they also play stereotypical roles at home, with Jane as the wife who cooks dinner every night (she never cooked a night in her life) and cares about window treatments and John as the bored husband who spends his time on game nights and puttering around in the shed (she keeps her weapons in the stove that never gets used and he keeps his under the shed). When the masks come off, it turns out that he was an art history major who loves sappy romantic ballads and recognized her father (her ''fake'' father) from ''Series/FantasyIsland'', and she's the aggressive, ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend GreenEyedMonster who has a ''much'' higher body count than him and has to be talked down from killing his ex-wife ([[AccidentalMarriage it was a drunken Vegas thing]]).


Added DiffLines:

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Though Jane is wearing a ModestyBedsheet after the neighbors show up to complain about the noise, it's implied that John proudly answers the door with his junk on full display, if partly to confound said neighbors and get them to go away with no more questions asked.
