** The two burglars that break into Hutch's home wear three-hole ski masks. Though they aren't quite as violent and ruthless as they appear since the gun they use is unloaded. Later in the movie, it's somewhat subverted after Hutch tracks them down as they are shown to be more SympatheticCriminal than ruthless thugs as they are a struggling couple who have a baby that Hutch finds in a crib wearing a breathing mask attached to an oxygen tank. This causes him to leave the home rather than make any further attempt to get revenge.
** The hit squad sent by the Russian Mob later in the movie wear the mouthless variety of ski masks. And, unlike the couple, they play the trope fully straight as they are a ruthless group of mercenaries for hire who have no qualms with killing Hutch in his home with fully automatic weapons.
