      An ongoing theme until the end of the movie was Leroy Green's inability to beat Sho'Nuff until the climax of the movie.

In the ending sequence of the game, Rex is unable to kill Sloan due to his programming. During this moment, Rex has a flashback of Dr. Elizabeth Darling's message reminding him of his human quality, allowing him to override his programming and defeat Sloan.
