Smokin' Aces/YMMV
- Crazy Awesome - The Tremor Brothers, who use WWII weaponry, chainsaws, flamethrowers, and Rare Guns. Often prone to going Medieval on people (at the cost of a well planned hit - it's explained early in the film they were supposed to kill one guy. They wind up taking him out... and the rest of the club goers of the club he was in.)
- In Smokin Aces 2, the Tremor family resorts to shooting exploding clowns out of a carnival cannon.
- Crowning Music of Awesome - At the end, when Ryan Reynolds pulls the plug on the two mafia bosses and Clint Mansell's 'Dead Reckoning' kicks in.
- Also in the sequel/prequel, Evanescence's 'Sweet Sacrifice plays during the bar shoot-out.
- He Really Can Act - Ryan Reynolds, previously slammed by many for his acting in Van Wilder, Blade: Trinity and The Amityville Horror, pleasantly surprised many a moviegoer with his emotional performance, particularly during the final scenes.
- Hilarious in Hindsight - Acosta is a master assassin who's preferred weapon is a wrist-mounted, spring-loaded blade. He's also prone to conversations with his dying victims.
- Ho Yay - Acosta really likes to get close to his victims. Also, Sharice has unrequited love towards Georgia.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome - Tremors taking out the hotel security at the top floor. We only get to see the aftermath with them and Ivy.
- Retroactive Recognition: Watch it with friends, and see if they can work out who's playing the leader of the Tremor Bros. (Hint: It's Captain Kirk!)
