!!This series provides examples of the following tropes:
* CastingGag: In ''Payday'', Leah is played by Creator/EvaHabermann, while the villain's henchwoman Mona is played by Creator/XeniaSeeberg, who succeeded Habermann in the role of Zev/Xev Bellringer on ''Series/{{Lexx}}'' after the former left the series due to scheduling conflicts.
* ChopperOnStandby: OnceAnEpisode, Max goes to Dobbs and flies to the highway in the latter's helicopter, to [[OutsideRide drop on]] the bad guys' getaway truck.
* TheGunslinger: The BigBad's henchwoman in ''Payday'' seems to always carry a machine gun with her. And yes, she can shoot it better than any SWAT member. Subverted by the heroine who tries and first fails to shoot the same type of gun. She even asks for a manual after she picked it up.
* ImpressivePyrotechnics: [[spoiler:The explosion of the aircraft at the end of ''Payday'' suggests that the plane was filled with fuel from wingtip to wingtip, including the entire fuselage behind the rear cockpit wall]], so the fireball is unsurprisingly massive.
* ImprobablePilotingSkills: Dobbs is an improbably skilled helicopter pilot. ''Payday'' takes his badass-ness to the max as he flies multiple loops with his helicopter only a few hundred feet above ground while successfully [[HighSpeedMissileDodge evading heat-seeking missiles]].
* MisguidedMissile: ''Payday'' shows [[AcePilot Dobbs]] as he sends a heat-seeking surface-to-air missile chasing his helicopter back into the SAM which is so glowing hot that it must emit more heat than the helicopter's gas turbines.
* MonsterClown: Totally {{subverted|Trope}}. The clown isn't a villain but rather the protagonist's secret identity: he is a vigilante wearing a clown mask to fight crime.
* OutsideRide: OncePerEpisode, Max jumps on the enemy's getaway car/truck on the highway from a ''helicopter''. Even in the self-parodic time travel episode.
* StuffBlowingUp: This show ''loves'' spectacular explosions, a trend which is taken to the max in ''Payday'', which features [[spoiler:an Autobahn being blown up over its entire width with hand grenades, sending police cars [[SloMoBigAir flying]],]] and [[spoiler:an aircraft bombed with gold bars so it [[ImpressivePyrotechnics turns into one big giant fireball]].]]
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
** How do the heroes kill the remaining two villains in ''Payday''? [[spoiler:Bomb the two-engined cargo plane they're in with gold bars until it [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]] [[ImpressivePyrotechnics in a huge fireball]].]]
** In the pilot of the series, they're shooting bazookas at people during one shootout.
