* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Mr. Hertz's final question (I am dead on about you right?) brings up an interesting question. Did the origin that Hertz gave out really belong to Mr. Smith? Or was he actually ''wrong'' about his theory? Sure it fits with Smith's character and all but there is some doubt raised. He never confirms nor does he deny Hertz's guess. There's also a subtle moment during the torture scene where after Hertz tells Smith about how he (supposedly) sold the shotguns that killed his family, Mr. Smith merely tells Hertz that he won't reveal where DQ and Oliver are, not even remotely reacting to what should have been a hot button that Hertz pressed.

** Somewhat meta. But on IMFDB (Internet Movie Firearms Database) Smith's Hand is listed as a separate firearm, with typical arguments over unrealistic portrayal of capacity/loading etc which are common to the site.

Please present all Complete Monster candidates in this thread.


* CompleteMonster: Hertz's primary objective for most of the film is to kill a newborn infant, along with anyone else who gets in his way. After his initial appearance about 4 minutes in, he can't go for ''15 seconds'' without crossing the MoralEventHorizon (he kills one of his own wounded Mooks in order to get a better shot at Smith.) He wastes no time racking up his count of atrocities as he proceeds to [[spoiler:snipe an innocent bystander who tries to take Oliver, fondle the corpse of Oliver's mother, interrogate DQ by burning her with the hot tip of his gun barrel, threaten to burn DQ's ''genitals'' with the gun barrel (he's interrupted just in time by Smith), '''run over a baby''' (it was a decoy), interrogate Smith in a horrific scene of ColdBloodedTorture, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking lie to his wife about making it home in time for his son's birthday party.]] ]] Smith thinks he's a complete douchebag, in-universe. More accurately, a "pussy with a gun".
