* TheCaptain: Captain Binghamton holds the actual rank, but is the commander of a base so he is an administrator rather than a true ship commander. Lieutenant Commander [=McHale=] is the commander of PT-73 so he often addressed by the crew as "the Skipper".

* NotHyperbole: When [=McHale=] first talks to his crew about his first meeting with Vladakov, he boasts that he punched Vladakov in the face and "[my] name and [my] face are two things he'll never forget". It then turns out that [[spoiler:when they first encountered each other in Panama, Vladakov killed one of [=McHale's=] friends (Roberto's father) and Quinton got even by [[MegatonPunch beating Vladakov senseless]] and then [[EmbarrassingTattoo tattooing his name and his face on Vladakov's torso]].]] Unsurprisingly, Vladakov carried quite a grudge afterwards.

* MadeOfExplodium: Binghamton accidentally blows up Vladakov's base with a pídele little flare. He even stares at the thing wondering how the heck did that happened. Subverted when [=McHale's=] team figures out Vladakov wired the whole thing to explode as part of his convoluted plan to have a final fight with [=McHale=] (and kill Cobra, but it's hard to tell which is the chicken and the egg here).

* ComplexityAddiction: It's really hard to tell if Vladakov's plan[[note]]to set up a nuclear missile silo, then hack an experimental U.S. satellite and use its newfangled navigational capabilities to shoot the nuke with pinpoint accuracy at his own employers[[/note]] was always set up that way or if it is the result of [=McHale's=] swindles driving him crazier than [[TerroristsWithoutACause he already was to begin with]].
* CoolBoat: Vladakov's heavily-armed cigarette boat is a prime example and the main thing that makes him a serious threat. [=McHale's=] PT boat [[TheAllegedCar is extremely old and busted for the first two acts]] but it gets restored to full functionality in the last act.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Binghamton reads ''The Art of War'' before leading an assault force to storm Vladakov's compound (without knowing it's been already abandoned and wired to self-destruct) and his "speech" before doing that is just toss a bunch of the book's phrases at the team and go "well, move it!" when they are all standing there wondering what the hell is he trying to get at.
