* SoundtrackDissonance: For a film where people get beaten to a pulp or worse killed, there are upbeat tunes to be had for Si Han. Examples of this trope occur during his TrainingMontage and then the ending after Kent dies. For a disturbing death to have gone down, one would think that the music that would follow would be a victorious but somber tune. Nope! It's cheerful all through the credits.
