The Quiet Earth (film)/YMMV

"Zac: We might find all manner of horrors. Politicians... Transvestites..."
 * Adaptation Displacement: Justified. The film was released worldwide; the book is difficult to find even in New Zealand and nearly impossible to lay hands on elsewhere.
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: Two possible explanations for Zac's actions in the ending.
 * Conflict Ball: Api's apparently holding this when he tells Joanne why he and his best mate had been fighting. The way he phrases it seems to be meant only to cause a conflict between himself and Joanne and prompt a fight that Zac unwittingly is pulled into. If he'd told the whole truth, all of that could've been avoided.
 * Unfortunate Implications: The only character of color in the film is rough and violent and obviously has military training, in sharp contrast to the other characters.
 * Zac and Joanne's conversation as they're setting off to look for survivors.

 * Shortly before this conversation, Zac had gone on a highly destructive rampage while wearing nothing but a woman's slip. YMMV on whether or not this makes it worse.
