* BlingBlingBang: And a pretty embarrassing example, at that. The only gun Turk has in stock when Frank interrogates him is a special order a mob leader requested for his daughter's sweet sixteen: a '''pink''' Ruger Mini-14. Frank takes the gun anyway, but he makes it pretty clear that he has no desire to use it ever.

* RousingSpeech: Russo is shown giving a motivational speech to a bunch of ex-soldiers looking to get jobs at Anvil. This is, however, [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] a few scenes later: despite the pitch sounding like a universal appeal to all soldiers[[note]]especially considering it sounds like a speech [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Big Boss]], [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV with his "Outer Heaven" philosophy]], would say in any of the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' entries[[/note]] it's still clear Russo will be discriminating with who he hires--something that badly sits with Lewis when he gets rejected.
-->'''Billy Russo:''' Each of you trained as part of the finest fighting force in the world. Now what do you think that that cost? From the moment that you walked into a recruiting office to the moment that you took your first duty station. What do you think? I'll tell you. $50,000. And that's just that's just for starters. Say you're, uh, Special Forces? $150,000, minimum. Corpsman? Add another 200K. So this government, our country, the one that you all swore to protect, invested in you. And you all you all invested, too. You invested time... your lives. Ask yourself, what are you doing with that investment? Is anybody here making $100,000 a year? ... You making 50K a year? 40? No, no no. Why? Why is that? Is it Is it because you're not worth the investment? No. It's because your skills are not matched to the tasks available to you here at home. It's that simple. You are fighters! And here at Anvil, you will have the opportunity to fight for a living. And you will be well compensated. Now I know I know. I'm not here offering you just money. I mean, not a not a single one of us joined up to make a fortune, right? It's because we didn't want our lives to be just gray. We wanted them to mean something. We wanted to be a part of something bigger than ourselves! And here at Anvil, if you are recruited you will find that something. A new brotherhood to call your own. Something to fight for. To live for, even.
* SanitySlippage: Lewis is clearly losing it due to his PTSD.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Much like Matt's rescue of Hoffman from cops working for Fisk, we get this situation with the hostage at the chop shop, the camera focusing on his feared expressions as Frank takes out the thieves.
