Alcatraz (TV series): Difference between revisions

** Brit actor Jonny Coyne as Warden James, and [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|boy does it show...]]

* [[Flashed Badge Hijack]]: Rebecca does this in the season 1 finale.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Garrett Stillman, who's explicity mention as having an IQ that was "off the charts".

* [[Grave Robbing]]: Paxton Petty stole Silver Star medals from the graves of dead soldiers to use as shrapnel in his landmines.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Johnny McKee was a victim of bullying in high school which culminated in a [[Deadly Prank]] that seriously injured him. As revenge he killed most of his classmates. While he initially only wanted to kill 'bullies', he escalates to killing people who are rude to him and then to just killing complete strangers.

* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: It's entirely possible that Ernest Cobb would have happily spent the rest of his life at Alcatraz in solitary, a threat to no-one... except the warden found it necessary to screw with him until he completely lost his mind, {{spoiler|just so he could call in Lucille Sengupta, AKA ''Lucy Banerjee'' for some as-of-yet undisclosed purpose.}}

** The initial chase scene with Rebecca and her partner is very similar (in particular the camera angles and the way in which he holds on to the roof) to the opening chase scene in ''Vertigo'', also set in San Francisco.

** Rebecca drives [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1728102/trivia?tab=tr&item=tr1643727 Bullitt's car]
