!!This film provides examples of:
* CowboyCop: Nick, as appropiate for someone played by Clint Eastwood, is a "beat up crooks first, ask questions later" kind of guy. It ends up rubbing on David, as his thrashing of the bar shows.
* DeadPartner: Nick's previous partner, Powell, is killed by Strom at the beginning of the film.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Nick is subjected to Liesl forcing herself on him. His sole reaction was insisting "she did not sit on my face" after his partner ridiculed him about it.
* MookHorrorShow: David instantly switches from coward to badass when his partner Nick is kidnapped. When he enters a bar in which he previously had the shit beaten out of him, he first ''breathes fire on the bartender'', beats up half the patrons and fires off several rounds from his gun - at this point, the patrons are standing in stunned silence.
