  • Dying villains asking who the hero is and a clear sequel setup are enjoyed.
  • The massacre’s aftermath raises jokes about returning to work or softball and the security colleague leaving the profession or moving away.
  • A hundred-book reading goal and taking a local bus to the final showdown are admired.
  • Be loud about it and Russian villains are praised; Nazis are called undefeated movie villains in an otherwise unordered three-group comparison.
  • OCD divides opinion: one treats it as an asset, another says it comes and goes without affecting him. The line about looking like a Robert rather than a Bob is liked.
  • Hot honey on a wound and signature kills are discussed; when the wound happened and why the two policemen were killed remain uncertain.
  • The garage exhaust torture and Boston locations are favorites; an electric vehicle is a joking complication.
  • Identifying a profession from hands and avoiding ordinary guns are praised.
  • The music throughout is praised, with a tentative composer-credit recollection; the nail gun and other violent methods qualify the no-gun claim.
