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.

Create Your Own Hero: Frank D'Amico ruining Damon McCready's life was what caused the former cop to become the superhero Big Daddy and train his daughter to become Hit-Girl.
