* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Abdul Elijah, leader of The Cleanheads.

* ArtificialLimbs: One of the Georgian drug traffickers accompanying Rosta in Moscow uses his hollow prosthetic leg to transport cocaine. Danko makes him trip and reveals the trick.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Arnold's accent doesn't sound American, which was enough for him to play a Russian.
** A DeletedScene established his character to have been raised in East Germany, somewhat justifying his accent.

* RuthlessForeignGangsters: The Georgian gang led by Rosta. If their murders don't sell the "ruthless" part, then Rosta's DeathGlare does.

* YourMom: Viktor calls Ridzik a motherfucker in his native language ("Ebi svoju mamu v zadnicu!"[[labelnote:In English]]Fuck your mother in the ass![[/labelnote]]). When translating into English, Danko applies TactfulTranslation by telling Ridzik, "He say, 'Go and kiss your mother's behind.'"

* RealMenWearPink: Danko has a pet bird and he isn't happy when Ridzik says that it would be more fitting for a girl.

* HandCannon: Danko's fictional Podbyrin 9.2mm Pistol, made from a .357 Desert Eagle. Later, he has the pistol taken from him and has to switch for a .44 Magnum, which doesn't impress him much.
