2. It takes a couple hours to heal from a bullet to the abdomen.
3. Falling from a building will NOT kill you.
4. Club owners have a mean right hook.
5. If you come into a club bleeding, not only will they save your life, but they will follow every order you give them and put their lives on the line for no particular reason.
6. Gorman should have killed Will.
7. Sigourney Weaver should not be in any more movies.
8. It doesn't matter how many people you kill in a foreign country.
9. Don't text and sail! Someone may bump their head.

11. Make sure that if you run into a gorgeous girl in Spain that you check to see if you are related. Sometimes it turns out that you are.

Paloma Bloyd's character Christina, who was helping Will and whose uncle was killed, knew the owners of the club. The second time Will went into the club, he said Carrack was looking to kill him, the owner of the club said is that the one who killed Christina's uncle, Will said yes and the owner said what can I do to help

84. If you're a dodgy CIA agent and you've just got a mysterious case back from a deal gone wrong, you've got loads of guns and a big car, but a dead agent's son wants the case back, don't shoot him straight away. Best thing is to let him chase you dangerously in his car for miles through red lights, on pavements, down steps, endangering other traffic, pedestrians and yourself. Then when this ends in him crashing in a shop, inexplicably change over who is chasing who and chase him dangerously for miles, again ending in a big crash.

85. If you're a third party mixed up in the adventure, with a common enemy of a dodgy CIA agent, good plan to let the agent's target out in the open to expose the agent. The son tracks the agent's accomplice to the agent in a nice secluded spot - the perfect moment to take them down. But wait, let them all go on a massive long half hour chase through the streets of Madrid before making a move. You and your band of a dozen or so will easily keep up with them to the end and be able to take the agent out before she kills anyone important to the plot.

86. There will be no automobile or foot traffic of any kind in the area surrounding a packed, raging nightclub.
87. Mossad agents are inept and need the help of wounded amateurs to catch bad guys.
88. If you hit a car window with your elbow you're in! (All that is left to do is drive off!)
89. Make sure you give the Weaver character enough time to make a final gloating speech before taking the long distance kill shot, you can be sure the defenseless man on the ground won't be killed until she has finished her speech.
