Rome (Played by Robert Patrick, who played the T-1000 whose truck gets its top sliced off during a chase scene in ''Terminator2JudgmentDay'') glances at him through the mirror.
* BaldOfEvil: Morgan. Also the two drug dealers in the woods.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Lampshaded and averted. [[spoiler:He dies third.]]
* BoringInvincibleHero: It's JohnCena as the starring role. What more needs to be said?
* BottomlessMagazines
* CarChase
* TheDanza: John Cena as John Triton.
* DarkActionGirl: Angela.
* DieHardOnAnX: The sequel is a "''Die Hard'' on a hotel".
* GunsAkimbo: Bennett during the diamond heist.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Triton [[NeckSnap snaps Rome's neck]] with the [[ChainPain same chain]] he is attacking him with.
* ImplacableMan: John, a rare heroic version.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Rome attacks Triton with [[DropTheHammer a sledgehammer]] and [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw]] during their climactic fight. Triton defends himself from the latter with [[WrenchWhack a big wrench]].
* LargeHam: Robert Patrick is clearly having a ball playing Rome, and is clearly ''not'' taking the movie as seriously as Cena is.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: After Rome shoot Vescera, alligators appear to eat his body.
* NoodleIncident: Morgan and rock candy.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The opening sequence has Triton freeing some comrades from captivity; when it is seemed like they are surrounded by enemies with no way out, one of them asks Triton, "How do we get around them?", Triton drops, "We don't; [[BondOneLiner We go through them.]]" He fires his gun at the camera...and the movie fast-forwards to after the incident.
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Triton's down-to-earth wife Kate wears a denim jacket, white tank top, and jeans. Bad Girl Angela wears a leather getup with a leopard top. And, if memory serves, heels. [[CombatStilettos In a swamp chase.]] [[http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2336135168/tt0419946 Compare]].
* {{Sequel}}: Got two of them, with one on the way.
** NumberedSequel: The first sequel is called The Marine 2, starring Wrestling/TedDiBiase
** WordSequel: And the third in the series will be called The Marine: Homefront, with TheMiz in the main role.
* UnratedEdition: Such a labeled DVD case exists. However, the differences between it and the rated one are near-undetectable.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The role of John Triton as played by John Cena was originally intended for StoneColdSteveAustin.
** RandyOrton was going to be in the third film, but real life marines didn't like that due to his history in the marines, and the role went to TheMiz.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Being a WWE film, you can expect a few wrestling moves in the fight scenes. The most egregious of which is Triton chokeslamming a mook to his death; both the camera angle and the fact that the mook smashes through a wooden dock disguise the fact that Cena is [[TheUndertaker not as large as the wrestlers who usually do this move]].
** Oddly, Cena doesn't use this move while actually wrestling.
