Film

Any time Bloodsport looks at a rat and screaming like a little girl. Even amusing is the fact that his squad had to look at him just to believe that it really came from him. Ratcatcher II even lampshades this.
Bloodsport: [in a mild panic attack] I have a thing with rats!
Ratcatcher II: You have a thing with rats.
Bloodsport: Yes.
Ratcatcher II: And they put you on a team with me?
Bloodsport: Not something I asked for!
Captain Boomerang steps in shit and picks it off his boot with a boomerang.
Javelin asks what "TDK" is an abbreviation for.
Javelin: What does T.D.K. stand for?
T.D.K.: What?
Javelin: Your name is T.D.K., correct?
T.D.K.: Yeah.
Javelin: And it stands for what?
T.D.K.: It stands for me. It's what a name is.
Javelin: Your name is letters?
Captain Boomerang: All names are letters, dickhead.
Blackguard wonders exactly what kind of creature Weasel is supposed to be. Boomerang, Harley, and T.D.K. decide to have some fun at his expense.
Blackguard: Yo, is this a dog?
Captain Boomerang: What?
Blackguard: Is this thing a dog?
Captain Boomerang: A dog? What kind of dog do you think it is, mate?
Blackguard: I don't know! I'm not familiar with all the breeds.
T.D.K.: I'm gonna go with Afghan hound.
Captain Boomerang: Since when does an Afghan hound have bloody thumbs?!
Harley: Oh, my God, is it a werewolf? I’ve wanted to meet a werewolf forever!
Blackguard: [panicking] Yo, they sat me next to a werewolf?! [tries to unbuckle his seatbelt] Yo, let me out! I do not fuck with werewolves! [Harley squeals with glee and claps her hands while the others break out laughing]
- Flag's inept attempt to calm Blackguard down seems to somehow work!
  Flag: Hey, hey, he’s not a werewolf, okay! He’s a weasel. He’s harmless. I mean, he’s not harmless, he's killed 27 children, but, you know, we got him to… I think he’s agreed to do this. Whatever the case, just everyone get into position to drop.
- When Flag talks about Weasel, we can see that Weasel is making these adorable child-like chitters and just one look at him, it becomes impossible for Flag to conclude if he actually killed children or even have consent to agree to join along.
- There's also a hilarious irony in the fact that while Blackguard can't get his seatbelt working properly and has to get TDK to help him out, Weasel, the feral brain-dead freak of nature who might not even be sapient already correctly has his seatbelt buckled and is sitting calmly and quietly.
Captain Boomerang asks Harley why she's back in prison. Harley's response? Road rage. In a bank.
As Harley makes her way to her seat, she accidentally hits Savant in the head with the bag containing her rocket launcher.
Harley compliments Javelin's accent, prompting him to say that, "American women all love accents." Harley agrees, saying it's because "we [American women] don't got none", ignoring her very prominent and characteristic Brooklyn accent. Doubly ironic considering that Margot Robbie is Australian.
When the mission begins and Weasel ends up drowning, Flag asks why nobody checked if all the agents knew how to swim. Waller gives an annoyed look to her aide John Economos.
Flag: Did anyone check on whether Weasel could swim?!
[Cuts back to the mission control room where everyone watches Weasel drowning while he squirms around]
Waller: [gives John a stink eye, obviously disappointed]
Economos: [stares back at Waller with a face that screams "What?!"]
- This frustration is even better when one realizes that since Flag's entire team, including Weasel, was supposed to die as a distraction for DuBois team. Waller isn't disappointed that Weasel's (apparently) dead; she's just annoyed with her people's incompetence on sheer principle.
- The entire scene is topped off by how silent it became as Savant tries to save Weasel and swim him to shore. We get a special close-up on Waller's deadpanned face as if her expression might crack. The rest of the mission control team watch on with Emilia Harcourt having a Face Palm in disappointment that Weasel died earlier then she thought (remember, she bet that Weasel will die). And when Savant announces that Weasel is dead, Waller sighs in annoyance.
  - When Weasel turns out to be alive, one would remember that Harcourt lost money on that one.
  - Another thing to consider about Weasel being alive is if the mission control team find out about this since they have vitals on him.
The controllers of the mission make a Side Bet on who will live and who will die. Apparently Emilia Harcourt and Flo Crawley were among the winners.
Flag tries to tell Waller they need to abandon the mission since they were surrounded, but she insists they continue on since they can handle this. Harley shrugs, says, "Okie-doke" while Flag attempts to argue, and launches an RPG at the enemy whilst whooping with glee.
The utter bafflement of Harley and Flag at the sight of TDK's powers. Turns out "TDK" is short for The Detachable Kid, i.e. the film's version of Arm-Fall-Off-Boy. No wonder he dodged questions of his identity.
Harley: What the FUCK?!
Flag: I didn't pick the damn team!
- When he actually attacks, it turns out he doesn't have any other powers. All he's able to do is sort of limply slap at the soldiers or try to take their guns before being shot.
- His expression deserves a mention, looking serious while he moves his torso around.
The team is getting decimated, Harley and Flag are pinned down, the music swells as Savant surveys the carnage and gets ready to burst into fury...no, actually he screams like a girl, turns around and books it right back into the sea. Not even Waller's demands for him to turn back can stop him... until she blows his head apart, of course. Probably one of the most twistedly funny examples of Black Comedy and a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome blended together in recent years.
- And to top it off? A canary just like one of the ones he pointlessly killed in the exercise yard perches on his headless corpse, and starts snacking on the stump. Payback's a bitch, Savant...
Javelin dies while passing his javelin to Harley. She reaches out towards his face, and you think she's going to sadly caress his face... instead, she tries to slap him awake, because he died mid-sentence and she wants to know what she's supposed to do with the javelin.
Harley: [slaps Javelin's face with a confused look] Carry it for who?! For what?! What the heck?! Who am I supposed to carry it for?! [She's promptly surrounded by Corto Maltese soldiers] This is so frustrating! He just told me I have to carry this javelin for a reason, but he didn’t say why! [The soldiers share bemused looks with one another]
Most of the Title In cases are creative and weird enough to inspire laughter, starting with Savant's blood spelling "WARNER BROS. PICTURES PRESENTS" in the water to start the credits. Other standouts are "3 Days Earlier" spelled in the grime on a toilet seat that Bloodsport is cleaning, and the "Operation: Jotunheim" in flames which is forcibly changed to "Operation: Harley" once Flag reminds them someone was missing.
Bloodsport's daughter visits him in prison and they get into an argument over her stealing a smartwatch that can also watch TV. Bloodsport is only really upset that she got caught and eventually their argument just devolves into them shouting "Fuck you!" at each other. He also doesn't understand what a smartwatch is and why she would want to watch TV on a watch ("It does other things too!").
- When Bloodsport confronts Waller about sending his 14 year old daughter to prison.
  Waller: No. Your daughter is 16, DuBois. [awkward beat] You're a real father of the year.
Immediately after Waller insists every member of the team was chosen for their "unique skill set", Bloodsport lampshades that he and Peacemaker have the exact same skill set. Hell, she even introduces Smith with the exact same words she introduced DuBois only substituting “mercenary” with “soldier”.
Waller: Each member of your team is chosen for his or her own completely unique set of abilities. This is Christopher Smith, known as Peacemaker. In his hands, anything is a deadly weapon. His father was a soldier who trained his son how to kill from the moment he was born.
Bloodsport: Are you having a laugh?
Waller: What?
Bloodsport: You just said each member of the team is chosen for their unique abilities. He does exactly what I do!
Peacemaker: But better.
Bloodsport: I always hit my targets dead center.
Peacemaker: I hit them more in the center.
Bloodsport: Well, you can't hit something more in the center.
Peacemaker: I use smaller bullets.
Bloodsport: What?
Peacemaker: They go inside your bullet holes without even touching the sides.
- This exchange gains another layer or humor on rewatch when you find Peacemaker is just telling Blatant Lies: he uses ridiculously huge bullets that explode compared to Bloodsport’s much smaller bullets and precise aim. When the two square off against each other in the climax, Bloodsport manages to do exactly what Peacemaker brags about here.
Next up is King Shark, who is introduced trying to read a book upside-down.
Bloodsport: Does it talk?
King Shark: Book read.
Peacemaker: Wow. [chuckles] The book's upside down. See that? It's pretending to read a book!
King Shark: So smart me. Enjoy book so much.
When Waller and co. head to fetch Cleo/Ratcatcher II, she's fast asleep.
Waller: Cazo, will you be joining us?
Cleo: I just woke up. I don't function well early in the morning.
Waller: My deepest apologies for disturbing you.
Cleo: Hmm, it's all right.
Waller: [slamming on the door] Get your ass out here!
- Followed then by Ratcatcher II shambling out of her cell, whining with every step.
  Peacemaker: [scoffs] Millennials.
- It's then that Sebastian appears, perched on Ratcatcher's shoulder.
  Bloodsport: Oh, no way. That's not coming with us.
  Waller: She controls rats.
  Bloodsport: I know, I caught that. It's a disgusting superpower!
  Ratcatcher II: [wipes sleep from her eyes] This is Sebastian. Say hello, Sebastian. [Sebastian offers Bloodsport his paw]
  Bloodsport: I'm not shaking the rat's hand.
- Possibly a Mythology Gag, but every female inmate claps and whistles as Bloodsport and Peacemaker walk in. Only last time, it was with a group of (mostly) male soldiers staring at Harley. Even better? As Bloodsport turns to Cleo to tell her to keep her distance since Sebastian is perched on her shoulders trying to be friends, a female inmate is taking the opportunity to take a look at Bloodsport's ass.
Last on the introduction list is Polka-Dot Man.
Peacemaker: [mockingly] Polka-Dot Man. What does he do, throw polka-dots at people?
[Beat]
Peacemaker: [incredulous] He does. He throws polka dots at people.
- And then, when we eventually see how Polka Dot Man's power actually works - and that they disintegrate matter on contact - Peacemaker's response is pretty understated.
  Peacemaker: He does throw polka dots at people.
- For that matter, when Peacemaker asks whether Polka-Dot Man's power is throwing polka dots at people, the Beat is made funnier by a camera pan over to Amanda Waller's totally done-with-it expression.
Sean Gunn's cameo as Calendar Man dickishly taunting Polka-Dot for how petty and out of character it is for a Hannibal Lecter-style serial killer, with apparently no powers of his own to speak of and an equally ridiculous gimmick.
Calendar Man: Hey, Polka-Dot Man! I was hoping you'd entertain at my kid's birthday party, you fuckin' pussy!
- He then proceeds to laugh at his own joke for about ten seconds. Even a few of the guards smile at just how out of pocket he is.
Weasel licking the glass of his cell for no reason, and the expression Bloodsport makes.
When Waller debriefs the Squad on their mission to destroy something called "Project Starfish" and asks if there are any questions, Ratcatcher II asks about the overhead projector and whether anyone uses it, to which Waller replies no, prompting Ratcatcher II to ask why it hasn't been thrown out.
- Peacemaker mentions starfish is a slang term for butthole and asks if they're related, and when she answers with a deadpan 'No', he nonchalantly writes "No Connection" on his notebook.
  - The look back Bloodsport gives Peacemaker when he asks. It just screams "what the fuck did you just actually say out loud right now?"
Right afterwards, King Shark holds up his hand, points to it and goes "Haaand.", prompting Waller to deadpan "Yes, that is your hand, Nanaue. Very good." King Shark even looks proud that he pointed it out.
Bloodsport: We're all gonna die.
Polka-Dot Man: I hope so.
Bloodsport: Oh, for fuck's sake...
- Just the fact that King Shark is voiced by Sylvester Stallone of all people.
- This is also coming after portrayals of the character as a tragic Anti-Villain in The Flash (2014) and an easygoing, erudite guy in Harley Quinn, making this version come off as quite a shock.
- And, of course, people started comparing King Shark to another simpleminded giant mo-capped CGI character from a movie directed by James Gunn. Much like that character, he was also almost unanimously considered adorable, despite eating people.
Peacemaker calls out Bloodsport for his poor leadership, and Bloodsport tells him to eat a bag of dicks. Peacemaker then replies saying that, if the entire beach were to be covered in dicks, he would eat all of them in order to protect the idea of liberty.
- The other Squad members are rightfully non-plussed by this declaration.
  Ratcatcher II: Why would someone put penises all over the beach?
  Peacemaker: Who knows why madmen do what they do!
  - One can't help but think James Gunn missed a prime opportunity for a joke here: he could have had one of the beaches covered in fat innkeeper worms.
- Cena was right, the guy really is a douchey Captain America.
Ratcatcher II not waking up when King Shark attempts to eat her, still sleeping soundly while her head is halfway through his mouth.
Bloodsport: How deep of a sleeper are you?
Ratcatcher II: I was having the most wonderful dream.
Peacemaker: If it was you about to be eaten by King Shark, then you're a psychic.
Ratcatcher II: I don't believe he would do that. He has very kind eyes.
[Sebastian squeaks in disagreement while glaring at King Shark]
King Shark: [looking at Sebastian] Hungry.
Ratcatcher II: [her smile disappears] You bastard! [turns on her wand and summons an army of rats]
Peacemaker sleeps in nothing but his tighty-whiteys, complete with a zoom in on his crotch when Bloodsport points it out.
- And Peacemaker saying "That's racist," when Bloodsport calls the underwear by that name. Made even funnier considering John Cena ad-libbed that line.
  Peacemaker: [cackles]
  Bloodsport: [freaking out] What are you laughing at me for, man? Why the fuck are you in your underwear?
  [pans to said tighty whities]
  Bloodsport: Tighty-whities? Really?
  Peacemaker: Now, that's just racist.
  Bloodsport: No. It’s not racist. They’re tighty-whities!
Bloodsport ends up giving a high-pitched scream when one of the rats approaches him too much. And when Waller asks why he didn't mention his phobia of rats before, DuBois answers that as an assassin he isn't supposed to give out his weaknesses.
Bloodsport: I'm an assassin! Why would I share my liabilities? [spots Sebastian near him] GAAAH!!!
Sebastian trying his best to show Bloodsport he's friendly, even trying to give him a pretty leaf he found, which Cleo interprets to Bloodsport as a peace offering.
Ratcatcher II: Awww, he’s offering you a pretty leaf to show you he means no harm.
Bloodsport: Why the fuck would I want a leaf?!
Peacemaker going full Heroic Comedic Sociopath when explaining his moniker, nonchalantly saying he cherishes peace with all his heart and that it doesn't matter how many men, women and children he'll have to kill to bring peace. It rightfully weirds the shit out of Ratcatcher II, who thought Polka Dot Man was the craziest guy in the team... which he confirms he still is.
When going to rescue Flag, Bloodsport and Peacemaker get into a dick measuring contest by doing increasingly elaborate and brutal kills.
- It starts with Bloodsport flipping Peacemaker off; in response, Peacemaker mimes masturbating and flings his imaginary semen in Bloodsport's face, making him wince in disgust.
- Culminating in Bloodsport calling Peacemaker out for showing off because of how extra his last kill was. Peacemaker pointed out how people do like a showoff if there's enough style, and Bloodsport walks away begrudgingly admitting that he's right.
The fact that Flag was held by the resistance and so the squad ended up killing unknowing allies. Soria calls them out on their trigger-happy nature.
- And when the Squad tries to play it cool and pretend they didn't just kill most of Soria's people, Polka Dot Man ends up muttering the truth, while Nanaue spits out the finger of the guy he ate. Flag's "You have got to be kidding" expression really sells it.
  Soria: Why didn't my people warn me?
  [long pause]
  Bloodsport: We didn't see any people.
  Peacemaker: Yeah, didn't see anyone.
  Ratcatcher II: They were gone when we got here.
  Polka-Dot Man: I turned them into my mother in my head and killed them.
  [everyone glares at him]
  - Even Sebastian, her pet rat, gives off a squeak that sounded like it was saying "uh oh".
Polka Dot Man gives his whole tragic backstory while somber background music plays... and then he admits that he sees everyone as his mother. Cut to a POV shot wherein the other Squad members and resistance fighters all now look like his mother. Even Nanaue, who gets distracted by a passing butterfly while everyone else stares at PDM, the music having ground to a halt.
- Look closer, and you'll see even Sebastian the rat is PDM's mother. Or at least, wears her glasses.
In the deleted scene afterward, Flag realizes that his team was used as a diversion because Waller viewed Task Force X as expendable. When Bloodsport asks him why he was chosen to be that team, Flag thinks he knows why: Because he insulted her shirt before deployment. Cue Economos laughing the crap out of her shirt, much to Waller's deadpan glare to Flag. Yes. Flag making fun of her shirt is enough to warrant being sent to the death team in Waller's point of view.
Harley having difficulty with the demonym for Corto Maltese, so she just angrily calls her captors "Mario Kart racing d-bags".^note The correct demonym in this case being Corto Maltesian, as per Silvio.
Just nearly about everything about Harley's time as princess before being interrogated after shooting Luna.
- In an extended scene, she admires the line of 'royal subjects' waiting for her.
  - As she arrives, she says to the nearby servant 'gracias' in an emphasized tone. Justified as she uses the Castilian Spanish pronunciation rather than the Latin American one.
  - She calls Colonel to court one of the female servants for 'chronic resting bitchness'.
  - She tells Colonel to switch faces to the other servants 'like in that movie Face/Off'. This might come across as darkly humorous as this happened in her previous movie appearance the year before where the villain kills his victims through cutting their faces off...
  - Her interaction with one of the servants by telling her to say 'na na!' several times in a childish tone. You can see the servant smiling and a little surprised when Harley yells 'NO!!!' loudly. And when Harley tells Colonel to 'hang her', the servant switches back to being stoic.
  - Harley hugging one of the female servants when wanting to preserve her eggs for her to be 'the mother of all humanity in the year 4000' with the servant staring at her, dumbfounded. She also touches two male servants, wanting them to be her adopted sons for opening the door for her.
- The entire short-lived love story between Harley Quinn and Silvio Luna all set to 'Whistle for the Choir' by The Fratellis. This is in contrast to the high-action-packed movie as it is unexpected for a romance moment to appear.
  - As Luna proposes to Harley, she cuts him off by saying that he is 'so freaking hot' and kisses him along with music continuing. Cue the two making out and destroying priceless artifacts in the room including lit candles on a table.
Harley shoots Luna dead, then apologizes for having to shoot him.
Harley: You were real pretty and all. And R.I.P. to that absolutely beautiful monster between your legs. But all in all, I think you're more pretty like this, with all those rotten thoughts emptied from your head.
- At the end of her speech, she perplexedly turns to the gun she took from a display case and admits she's surprised it was loaded.
  Harley: ...I can't believe this thing had a bullet!
When the squad and the rebels rescue Milton, King Shark eats one of the soldiers.
King Shark: Nom, Nom. (chomps on a soldier, leaving a red blood splat)
Nanaue wants to join the Squad in La Gatita Amable in disguise, but his best idea is to have a fake mustache... which is just him holding his finger under his nose.
- When Bloodsport comments that they would have to kill him if a "shark-shaped bloke with a mustache" creeped up on them like that, King Shark yells "FUCK!" and throws a tantrum.
- Ratcatcher II and Bloodsport sharing grins while Nanaue is getting upset.
The Thinker's response to Ratcatcher II's threat to "send a dozen rodents crawling up {his} ass."
The Thinker: [looking uncomfortable] My answer may not be what you expect.
Peacemaker is upset that they're risking a mission to rescue Harley, who he refers to as a "mental defective dressed as a court jester". Bloodsport retorts that "this was coming from a guy wearing a toilet seat on his head", which Peacemaker doesn't let go, kvetching as they get ready to storm the Presidential mansion:
Peacemaker: It's not a toilet seat, it's a beacon of freedom!
- Bonus points for it apparently being an ad-lib by Cena.
When being interrogated by General Suarez about how many superpowered teammates Harley has in Corto Maltese, she casually replies with "69". Suarez takes her response seriously and is shocked and worried...until her torturer has to whisper in his ear that it's a joke.
Harley's torturer takes a break to text someone asking him what he's doing. He replies that he's electrocuting a woman in a red dress and having a good time... In the form of emojis.
Harley's rampage on the guards, specially as animated flowers and such start covering the screen to really convey her frame of mind.
At the conclusion of her rampage, Harley saunters out the door and catches a ride in a taxi. The taxi driver only looks mildly confused when he sees her having to hang the javelin out the front seat window next to him.
When the Squad are trying to save Harley and are calling out what they see through the walkie talkies, Nanaue says "Bird...", before the camera pans to a pigeon, with Flag telling him to stay off the comms in a tone that sounds like an exasperated father scolding his kid.
- Peacemaker radios that he has a hostile in the building in his sights, and it cuts to an unarmed maid. Flag almost gives the go ahead to shoot her when Harley shows up.
- There's also how Ratcatcher II has the code name "Ratatouille."
Flag prepares to break into the building, and does a Double Take as he discovers Harley already broke out on her own! She's so happy that they came for her, and even offers to go back in so they can do their plan if it would make the team feel better.
Bloodsport: That's patronizing.
- In general, Flag seems tired and sad, without any of the hard-ass-ness from the first movie. It'd be depressing if it weren't hilarious.
- He also shows off some serious Not So Above It All here as he genuinely seems disappointed that Harley just made his "really good plan" pointless.
Bloodsport asks why Harley is carrying a javelin.
Harley: I'm waiting for God to tell me.
Bloodsport: Jesus Christ.
Harley: Yeah, or him. Or any of them, really.
As Flag is listing all the ways that Thinker could be killed for doing the wrong thing, Harley cuts in with "having vanity license plates", "mismatching blacks" and "coughing without covering your mouth."
Flag: Harley. [to Thinker] Those last three aren't things. [beat] Although, probably don't need to say this, but that isn't an open invitation for you to cough without covering your mouth.
- In the previous movie, Joker's car had a personalized license plate. Make of that what you will.
- Later she's still cheesed-off and just marching back and forth...and proclaiming "I am walking back and forth!"
- In the entire taking-turns-threatening-Thinker scene, the only line left for the utterly unintimidating Polka Dot Man is a milquetoast "Yeah" at the end.
Once it starts raining:
Harley: I love rain! It's like angels are splooging all over us!
In the badass "Walking in the Rain" scene, even the unarmed, relatively mundane Milton the Bus Driver and the Thinker, who is held against his will, gets in on the action! Though if you look closely, Peacemaker has to shove the Thinker along to get him moving.
- Followed by Peacemaker repeatedly smashing the Thinker's face into the entrance's retinal scanner until it works, hard enough that it cracks the plastic housing of it in the process.
  The Thinker: Son of a bi—!! [device beeps affirmatively]
The reaction the rebels are met with when their leader announces she and her people have taken over the government of the island? A fraction of a second's pause before the man shouts "PUTA".
The Thinker calling Americans "Yankee-Fucking-Doodle-Dandies!" brings back Malcolm Tucker rants to Peter Capaldi fans.
The Thinker groveling to Starro before it kills him is reminiscent of someone explaining himself to a jilted lover.
When King Shark gets separated from the group, he finds a tank full of squid-like creatures that follow him around from the other side of the tank, even copying his physique in a bundle. King Shark's response is funny and adorable as he happily runs around the tank and watches them follow.
King Shark: New dumb friends!
Polka Dot Man mourns the death of the Squad's inside man, Milton. Harley then starts asking who Milton even was before Polka Dot Man has to point out his corpse to jog her memory.
- After a Beat, it turns out even Bloodsport had apparently failed to notice that Milton had been with them the whole mission, having assumed he stayed back in his bus.
  Bloodsport: … Milton was still with us?
  Polka Dot Man: Where did you think he was?
  Bloodsport: I don't know, I thought he stayed back with the bus. What was Milton gonna do?
  Polka Dot Man: He was helping us!
- By the end, it's shown that Harley still didn't get it as she thinks Bloodsport's name is Milton.
  Harley: I can be your friend, Milton.
  Bloodsport: Not my name.
  Harley: What?! What're you talkin' about, we just had a conversation, for like, three hours about how your name is Milton!
Polka-Dot Man's response when he drops a bag of plastic explosives? "Oh, fizzlesticks." It's delightfully out of place in a movie where every other character has no problem using coarse language at all times. It becomes even funnier a few seconds later when Abner drops an Atomic F-Bomb out of frustration with Harley not knowing who Milton was.
As Harley, Polka Dot Man and Bloodsport attempt to escape from a collapsing building, Harley and Polka Dot Man make the jump over the gap. Bloodsport however trips and falls onto the crumbling rubble beneath him, which disintegrates rapidly under his added weight, forcing him to launch a grapple dart into a wall - none of which arrests his momentum enough to stop him swinging wildly across the gap, slamming full-speed into a concrete wall hard enough to shatter his Rage Helm and leaving him stunned and dangling some 20-30 feet above the nearest floor. Then the grapple starts to work loose from the wall. Bloodsport's response, seconds before being dropped?
Bloodsport: Oh, fuck off!
- Even funnier is the look of surprise and relief on his face when he executes a "superhero landing" without shattering every bone in his legs... right before the floor caves in under him, forcing him to ride the scree of destroyed floors down to the ground floor.
The Squad's reactions to freakin' Starro emerging from the ruined Jotunheim:
- Economos freaks out, shouting, "We've got a freaking Kaiju up in this shit!"
- King Shark is munching on a skull like it's an apple and just pauses, slack-jawed.
- Bloodsport just gives a weary sort of, "Uh-huh."
  - Idris Elba previously starred in a movie about Kaiju. It's like he's thinking, God, not this shit again.
- The film then cuts to two Corto Maltesian’s watching from a rooftop who respond with a succinct “What in the actual fuck?”
- Just how perfect a puzzle piece Starro the Conqueror is for the film. It's a cosmic-level threat well above the Suicide Squad's pay grade. . . yet it's also so terribly comic-book goofy (yet terrifying in concept) it fits right in with the film's tone.
Crosses over with Heartwarming: After the surviving members of Task Force X go against Waller's orders to retreat and resolve to stop Starro destroying the city, Flo Crawley - one of the mission control agents - knocks Waller out with her own golf club to prevent her activating Bloodsport's Explosive Leash. As the other agents quickly start feeding the team info to help them intercept Starro, Flo - clearly still fizzing with adrenaline from defying her boss and all the implications thereof - bellows at a guy who is standing around gawping.
Flo Crawley: GET ON THE SATELLITE, DALE, YOU FUCKING DICKHEAD!
Dale: [dryly] Yes, ma'am.
When Bloodsport begins assembling his full gun to attack Starro, he spends a good 30 seconds slapping on parts with elaborate animations for every one.
As Bloodsport is opening fire on Starro and everyone behind him runs like hell, King Shark is... just kind of wandering off.
Polka-Dot Man refuses to kill unless he envisions the enemies as his mother. This leads to Bloodsport having to yell "Abner, do you see who that is? IT'S YOUR MUM!" to him during the final showdown with Starro to influence him to attack the kaiju, leading to a shot of a giant version of his mom destroying the city.
- If you think about it, this was one hell of an elaborate Your Mom joke from James Gunn.
- When Polka-Dot Man manages to wound Starro by blasting his leg with his polka dots, it causes the visage of his mom to scream in pain. Then it cuts to a large crowd of Starro's puppets clutching their legs and also screaming in unison.
- For that matter, Polka-Dot Man's death, while saddening, is darkly humorous for how incredibly sudden it is and for his last words.
  Polka-Dot Man: I'M A SUPERHERO! (smiles at Bloodsport) I'M A MOTHERFUCKING SUPE-(SPLAT!)
Bloodsport gets King Shark to attack Starro by pointing at it and saying "Monster is nom nom." It works.
Bloodsport’s This Is Gonna Suck reaction when Ratcatcher II summons an army of rats to attack Starro.
Bloodsport: Aw, hell.
After emerging from Starro’s eye, Harley just gives Bloodsport a thumbs up.
After the battle, King Shark's mind starts to wander.
King Shark: (Pointing at a corpse) Nom nom?
Bloodsport: Really? That is what you’re thinking about right now?
King Shark: No… (Points at other corpse) That nom nom, though.
Ratcatcher II: No, that's not nom nom.
(Beat. King Shark starts to point at another.)
Bloodsport: (without even looking) No!

Trailers

For some reason, all the Squad members are wearing orange Crocs while in prison.
The trailer itself describes Director James Gunn as having a "horribly beautiful" mind.
King Shark's first appearance in the trailer is pure Bathos: he devours a man whole- while nonchalantly saying, "Nom nom?"
The previous movie had a lot of helicopter crashes without fatalities, to the point where some folks memed that crashing helicopters were the safest place to be. This time someone grabs onto a helicopter skid and dies horribly while also killing another member of the squad.
