Screenwriting Tip #850
Every skill, trait or item your protagonist uses to get out of a tight spot should be set up earlier in the script. A hitherto unmentioned ability to speak Latin is just as jarring as a hitherto unmentioned gun.
An astounding amount of a good screenplay is built from retcons that happen before anyone sees it.
