* XanatosSpeedChess: Played straight with Vladimir Stolfsky, who was (going to be) paid by the British to set up the titular Snuke, up until the agents find him and he just decides to hide up on the roof of his hideout in order to blow up his weapons by putting what ''looks'' like the head of a [[{{Hammerspace}} dynamite detonator box]] in his shirt pocket, likely planning to empty it in the gutter to trick them into thinking he's dead- which is cut short when a SWAT member ''[[RuleOfCool immediately]]'' breaks from the group and somehow shoots ''[[GunsDoNotWorkThatWay an auto-exploding rifle round in his hip]].'' Hilarously subverted with the other agents in Kyle's room, though, who the latter easily outranks by saying the same thing they've been saying ("Not anymore you're not").
