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

** But subverted with the very next line: "Leg chains, ankle chains, wrist chains, neck chains, thumb screws and nooses of the very finest rope!"

* This line from Kent Mansley's "goldarned security" rant in ''[[The Iron Giant]]'':

* From ''[[Seven Seconds]]'', an officer who's just been kidnapped:

{{quote| "All right, you're in a heap of trouble now: armed robbery, kidnapping of an army officer, and ''speeding''!"}}

* Helen Sharp ([[Goldie Hawn]]) talking about Madeline Ashton ([[Meryl Streep]]) in ''[[Death Becomes Her]]'': "She was a homebreaker. She was a man-eater. And she was a ''bad actress''."

* On ''[[Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'', Vinny Santorini says that "we've done a lot of things we're not proud of: robbing graves, plundering tombs, double parking..." In the same movie, by the same person, a lil earlier, "Gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and paperclips. Big ones. You know, just office supplies."

* [[Moral Guardians]]' attempts to give us a measure of some or other work against their serious verified and absolute morale standards all too often include funny items:

** The IMDB parental guides have a lot of these. Laundry lists of terrifying violence and brutality followed by 'A man and a woman argue about parking tickets.' A great example [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080491/parentalguide is for] ''[[Caligula]]'', where the Violence section has, along with gems such as "A man is suffocated with a cloth and he dies." and "A machine with huge blades cuts peoples heads off lots of blood and heads roll"... "A woman is slapped."

* In the Disney Channel movie'' Minutemen'', several government officials run in flashing badges and screaming the name of their respective organizations. "FBI!" "CIA!" "Bureau of Weights and Measures." They tell the last guy that he should go in first next time.

* In ''[[National Treasure]]'', the film's antagonist is arrested on the charges of "kidnapping, attempted murder, and trespassing on government property."

* In ''[[Brazil (Film)|Brazil]]'', arrested {{spoiler|Sam Lowry}} is presented with a long and painstakingly accurate [[List of Transgressions|list of his transgressions]], from high treason to overexpenditure of stationery. Because he lives in a dystopia of bureaucracy gone mad, it's actually played for drama.

* The ''[[Watchmen (Film)|Watchmen]]'' movie has the line "Toys, lunchboxes, genetic engineering." [[One of These Things Is Not Like the Others]].

* Kent in ''[[Hot Shots]]'' doesn't trust Topper because his father bailed on Kents during flight. Yet offhandedly forgives the other members of the team who were more involved in his death, including one who ate him for dinner after he was mistaken for game and shot.

* From ''What's Up, Tiger Lily?'':

* In ''How High'', the black supremacist Reparation Technical Institute offers students a wide variety of courses, such as Hatred Towards the White Devil, ADVANCED Hatred Towards the White Devil, and Volleyball.

* ''[[The King's Speech]]'' has one which doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]:
