Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking/Film: Difference between revisions

* Played with in ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''. As far as [[Evil Overlord|he]] is concerned, these offenses are in the proper order:

{{quote|'''Thulsa Doom''': You broke into my house, stole my property, murdered my servants, and my PETS! And that is what grieves me the most! You killed my snake. Thorgrim is beside himself with grief!

Conan replies in kind: "You killed my mother! [[You Killed My Father]], [[Doomed Hometown|you killed my people]]! You TOOK MY [[Ancestral Weapon|FATHER'S SWORD!!]]." }}

* From ''[[The Muppets|Muppet]] [[Christmas Carol]]'':

{{quote|Let's see... P-p-p-p-p, Princess. [[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]]... Handsome prince, lived happily ever after... oh, no ogres! [[Sleeping Beauty]]... handsome prince, no ogres. [[Thumbelina]], no! [[Hansel and Gretel]], no! [[The Golden Bird]], [[The Little Mermaid]], ''[[Pretty Woman]]''... no, no, no, no, NO! You see, ogres don't live happily ever after. }}

* In ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]'', Tuco's rap sheet goes from murder and rape down to transporting a minor across state lines for immoral purposes, and "contrary to the laws of this state, the accused has been found guilty of using marked cards in a poker game!"

{{quote|'''Sheriff of Nottingham:''' Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!}}

** Back then, it certainly counted as this trope, as Christmas as we now view it [[Anachronism Stew|didn't come to England until Victorian times]]. If the story took place in modern times, though, then it would be justified.

* One of the taglines for the movie ''[[Sneakers]]'' was;

{{quote|"A burglar, a spy, a fugitive, a delinquent, a hacker, and a ''piano teacher''... and these are the good guys."}}

{{quote|'''Sean''': Rubies!

'''Hannah''': Emeralds!

Revealing the facts of life to an Indian. }}

* The [[Tagline]] on posters for ''[[Fight Club]]'' was "Mischief. Mayhem. Soap." {{spoiler|This, however, is a subversion: the soap is made out of discarded fat from liposuctions}}.

{{quote|"I cut it a little roomy for the free movement, the fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin...and it can also withstand a temperature of over 1000 degrees. Completely bulletproof, and machine washable, darling. That's a new feature."

"Your suit can stretch as far as you can without injuring yourself, and still retain its shape. Virtually indestructible, yet it breathes like Egyptian cotton." }}

* In ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'', Wilbur Robinson's [[Robot Buddy]] Carl lists the negative consequences that arose from Wilbur's careless failure to shut the garage door properly: One of the family's time machines (a prototype, only two currently in existence) got stolen by the villain, the time stream could be altered forever, and someone took Carl's bike. Later in the film, Wilbur gives Lewis three objections to {{spoiler|Lewis' suggestion that the Robinsons adopt Bowler Hat Guy, who is actually Lewis' old roommate Mike Yagoobian}} - "He stole our time machine, tried to ruin your future, and he [[The Pig Pen|smells like he hasn't had a shower in thirty years]]!"

* In ''Fathom'', Ms. Harvill describes her problems as: "Treason, arson, murder and a parking ticket."

* ''Sudden Impact''. [[Dirty Harry]] delivers a long monologue about all the rotten things he sees as a homicide cop (babies abandoned in dumpsters, etc) but says the thing that really gets to him, that really makes him sick to his stomach, is the fact that his partner puts ketchup on his hot dog!

* In the opening scene of ''[[Raw Deal]]'' [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] is seen chasing an apparent motorcycle cop, who turns out to be a crook dressed up as one so he can shake down speeders. The man claims to be on his way to a fancy dress party and merely stopping the motorist to ask for directions. Arnie charges him with extortion, resisting arrest, reckless driving, impersonating a police officer, and lying to the sheriff.

{{quote|'''Jerald:''' Where will you go?

'''Sean:''' India, China....and Baltimore. }}

{{quote|'''Q''': Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not to break traffic laws.}}

* ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'' has Agents Jay and Kay accosting an alien pawnbroker/armsdealer about dealing illegal alien weapons and tech, and some stolen Rolexes.

{{quote|'''Kay''': All right... That's confiscated. All of it. And I want you on the next transport off this rock or I'm gonna shoot you where it don't grow back.

* In ''[[The French Connection]]'', after his partner's been stabbed, Popeye Doyle wants to run the suspect in for that, for drug possession, "and for picking your feet in Poughkeepsie!"

* In ''[[Hugo]]'', Hugo's crimes are listed as: "Trespass, theft, pilfering, littering... [[Even the Subtitler Is Stumped|mmmmlering]]... walking about... playing..."
