Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Big Daddy and Hit-Girl. Despite their violent attitude, they never hurt innocent people and they're willing to help you if you need'em. Mugging the Monster: At the end of the film Hit-Girl is attending regular school for the first time as a civilian. Dave remarks that she doesn't need him looking out for her as we see (well, hear) Hit-Girl beating up bullies attempting to rob her lunch money. Redemption Equals Death: It's implied that Damon McCready/Big Daddy realizes his mistakes like training his daughter to be a death machine. In fact, when she says to him he's the best father in the world, he, just before dying, answers, "No. I just love you." Bullet Dodge: During the hallway shootout, Hit-Girl jerks her head to one side to avoid a mook shooting at her.

While quizzing Hit Girl, Big Daddy asks her for the name of John Woo's first full-length feature. She answers in both Chinese and English (" Tie han rou qing, The Young Dragons"). Evil-Detecting Dog: While not a dog, Hit-Girl was hesitant to introduce herself to Red Mist when she first meets him, until Big Daddy tells her to show some manners. She was right not to trust him, since upon going to shake his hand, Red Mist shoots her. The paramedics taking off the wetsuit instead of Dave doing it himself. Explained away by him asking one of the paramedics to promise not to tell. Hit-Girl has achieved some level of this in Real Life. For values of 'real life' that include Internet forums. Prisons Are Gymnasiums: In Big Daddy's autobiographical comic book, he is shown working out like crazy when doing his time in jail.Captain Ersatz: Big Daddy is essentially Batman with guns, and the close similarity is lampshaded. Nicholas Cage channels Adam West and William Shatner. And Elvis Presley. His costume also resembles the film version of Nite Owl II. String Theory: Big Daddy has one of these, with the strings converging on Frank D'Amico, which Hit-Girl turns into an impromptu Shuriken-Board of Hate.

He also talks about the flames during Big Daddy's death and how he wasn't happy with the CGI fire because it "always looks fake". So they shot real flames at 1,000 frames per second and put them over the scene, just to find out that it looked exactly the same. Red Mist also serves as a counterpart to Hit-Girl, in that both of them have parents that are involved in very dangerous work. But while Hit-Girl actually has her father's love and approval, Red Mist is a "Well Done, Son" Guy who spends the whole movie trying to impress his father, who ironically enough already tries to spend time with him doing normal things. Also, his attempt to save Mr. Bitey, which fails because the cat is simply too far away from him on the side of a billboard. Late to the Tragedy: Not sure how useful that katana was going to be if it had been used 3 minutes earlier, but still... Combat Parkour: Hit-Girl uses this to cover ground between her and her opponents with complex flips and spins.
The movie ends with Red Mist quoting The Joker from Tim Burton's Batman (1989): "Wait 'till they get a load of me."

Pintsized Powerhouse: Hit-Girl, who severs limbs with ease. Subverted in the final confrontation: Frank one-hits her into near unconsciousness. Frank D'Amico's knowledge of Wing Chun. Also, Big Daddy is shown shooting Hit-Girl in the chest at the beginning, so she won't be surprised when it happens for real. It does. Gun Porn: The sheer variety of firearms that show up in this movie and its sequel is ridiculous, as shown by this Comicvine article which lists most, if not all of them. Fingore: Frank D'Amico's goons cut off a drug dealer's finger as a punishment for stealing cash and drugs from Frank, not believing him when he says that his coke was stolen by Big Daddy (or rather, a guy in a mask and cape, but not Batman).Intimate Lotion Application: After he gets Mistaken for Gay, Dave's crush Katie befriends him as she always wanted a Gay Best Friend. Dave goes along with this so he can be close to her. In one scene, Katie allows Dave to rub self-tanner on her body, and he fully takes advantage, with her somehow missing how nervous and distracted he is during the process. Go Out with a Smile: Big Daddy. So what if he's rather crispy, his daughter's safe and has made him proud.

In the film, Dave becomes a superhero because he was disgusted over how no one actually takes a stand against injustice. In the comics, he was just bored and thought it would be fun. After he gets numerous metal implants to reinforce his broken bones, Dave compares himself to Wolverine. Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Dave has sex with Katie against an alley dumpster, right out in the open.Hit Girl takes a horrific beating from two grown men... Then she wipes the blood off and she isn't even bruised. Among the many times Dave asserts that he's just a regular guy, he notes that his origin story has "no radioactive spiders" and "no refugee status from a doomed alien world". I Always Wanted to Say That: During the final fight, D'Amico's bodyguard finally gets a chance to quip "Say hello to my little friend!" Hit-Girl's Bulletproof Vest. In her introductory scene, we see her being trained by her father to be able to withstand being shot in the chest while wearing the vest. It ends up saving her life when Red Mist shoots her twice.
