The 2011 film ''[[Film/Drive2011 Drive]]'' and its blond, taciturn protagonist were heavily inspired by this film, as was the UsefulNotes/PlayStation classic ''Videogame/{{Driver}}'', whose notoriously hard tutorial mission was based on a scene in this film.

* LaserGuidedKarma: A mild one but earlier in the movie [[spoiler: The Detective gives a cop a condescending speech about how the cop is making mistakes and he will make him a better officer. At the climax of the movie, when the Detective seemly captures The Driver with a bag that is later revealed to be empty bag thus letting Driver being able to go free, this happens in front of the same cop who then gives The detective a noticeable look of 'you were saying".]]

Added Sparing The Final Mook, which the Driver does with the Kid's driver.


* SmugSnake: The Detective is very arrogant in his attitude towards everyone and seems to look down on everyone.
* StealingFromThieves: When the driver has completed the heist, and eluded pursuit by both the police and the double-crossing punks, the detective thinks he's finally caught this outlaw as he's carrying a valet case full of money, and makes the arrest... but the case is empty, so there's no incriminating evidence.
-->'''Driver''': Looks like we both got swindled.
-->'''The Detective''': Looks like we both got ripped off... by the exchange man.

Added some more context to Badass Driver, namely the parking garage scene.


* BadassDriver: Sure he is.

to:

* BadassDriver: Sure The main character is hired by criminals specifically because he is.has excellent driving skills, which will be necessary to elude police. One band of robbers insist on a demonstration, so the driver proceeds to navigate a parking garage and shear off sprinkler valves with the front fenders, yet not touch the adjacent concrete pillars.
